THREAD: A federal law enforcement source tells me probable cause for search warrant ‘very likely’ came from a secret service member.

At Mar-a-Lago, Trump is surrounded by 2 types of people:
1) political loyalists
2) law enforcement officers in the Secret ServiceOnly the LE officers would have an ethical and/or legal duty to report observations of criminal conduct to fellow law enforcement officers.

How long before they raise Colin Powell from the grave and have him testify in front of Congress that Trump is hiding WMD’s at Mar-A-Lago?
