Government insists probable cause to search May’s home and devices remains intact — with or without disputed affidavit language. His suppression bid and request for a Franks hearing are among the first major tests of his ability to navigate federal criminal procedure on his own. ***Paragraph 9(e) from the Government’s Response to Motion to Suppress***Prosecutors also argued that even if paragraph 9(e) were stricken from Lorenzen’s affidavit, probable cause would still stand. The federal response also targeted May’s claim that Lorenzen intentionally omitted information from her affidavit. “The defendant has failed to make a substantial preliminary showing” of either false statements or intentional omissions, the government concluded, insisting May’s request for a Franks hearing should be denied.
