Thanks for posting. Great find.
How legal/illegal is it to outsource a request for search warrant to a private attorney?
The FBI executed the warrant. The DOJ is the party to file the warrant.
But a private attorney with previous working ties to the Dirty Judge is the party that filed.
I think it highly probable the DOJ-FBI manuals do not allow for private parties to file their warrants.
I’m sure Trump’s attorneys are looking at “fruit of the poisonous tree” grounds to throw out all that was alleged to have been found at Mar-a-Lago.
In my experience, normal expectations would see the IG come down on DOJ for how this was handled. But these are not normal times.
