THREAD: A federal law enforcement source tells me probable cause for search warrant ‘very likely’ came from a secret service member.
FROM MY SOURCE
To obtain a criminal search warrant, the government must identify 1) the specific item to be seized; 2) the specific location of that item; and 3) that specific item is at that specific location at that precise moment.
This evidence is typically obtained in one of two ways:
1) a Title 3 wiretap intercepting conversations
and/or
2) a well-placed source giving real-time information to law enforcement.
At Mar-a-Lago, Trump is surrounded by 2 types of people:
1) political loyalists
2) law enforcement officers in the Secret Service
Only the LE officers would have an ethical and/or legal duty to report observations of criminal conduct to fellow law enforcement officers.
Therefore, it would seem more likely than not that the probable cause for the search warrant was based on information provided by the President’s Secret Service security detail.
