Omar’s fellow leftists shrieked that the raid amounted to political revenge from President Trump.

The Fourth Amendment bars judges from issuing a warrant without probable cause. U.S. Magistrate Judge Matthew Sharbaugh of the District of Columbia, the DC duty judge when the Omar raid occurred, reportedly signed the warrant for Omar’s home. That means Judge Sharbaugh found probable cause evidence of at least one federal crime is inside Omar’s home.  

Judge Sharbaugh's record suggests a judge predisposed to rule against the Trump Justice Department, not for it. Before becoming a judge, Sharbaugh donated to Hillary Clinton during her losing 2016 campaign against President Trump. Sharbaugh clerked twice for Judge Robert Wilkins, a leftist appointee of President Obama, on both the D.C. U.S. District Court and the D.C. U.S. Circuit. Judge Wilkins was one of the three D.C. U.S. circuit judges rammed through by former Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid at the end of 2013 just before Republicans took control of the U.S. Senate.

The government has probable cause concerning at least one federal crime. We are unsure what the crime is, because the affidavit remains sealed. But The New York Times reports that members of Omar's family have received subpoenas.
