Please point out the section of the article that discusses the probable cause since I can't find it. I see a reference in your earlier post about a "2 year-old email", but there's no mention of it in the article. At this point, I think that you may need a chin-strap for your tinfoil hat.
Assuming for a moment that there's some sort of email that led to this whole thing, I find it impossible to believe that LE would sit on an email for 2 years, do no investigation and then be able to get a warrant based solely on that email. Any competent judge would have made them produce more evidence to grant a warrant. I suspect that you either don't have all the facts or are ignoring the ones inconvenient to your arguement to make it more effective. If you have material outside this article that you're working with, can you share?
