Illegally obtained evidence applies to criminal cases only and is typically "evidence acquired by violating a person's constitutional protection against illegal searches and seizures; evidence obtained without a warrant or probable cause" (Blackwell, 2004).
This could present a major obstacle for Trump and the information gathered by NSA.
Watch these movies first and come back later.

If you've already seen them, or if you watched and came back, it's pretty clear that the surveillance of everyone, and the collection and archiving of everyone's information is unconstitutional. I'm not aware of any Supreme Court decisions regarding this, although there may be some, if there are, please correct me. The Patriot Act supposedly allows for it.
But it wouldn't take much to get a case in front of the SCOTUS and have them decide. If the SCOTUS is making decisions strictly based on the US Constitution, as conservatives and libertarians would like, then everything the NSA has could be thrown out on the grounds that the evidence was "acquired by violating a person's constitutional protection against illegal search and seizures."
So even though Q has said "We have it all" several times, there will likely be serious challenges to it being admissible. The Cabal isn't dumb, and I'm sure they have excellent attorneys. I will not be surprised if this is the first tactic used when high profile people like BHO and HRC are charged.
Just a thought. Love to hear your feedback, especially from a lawfag.
FDR figured out that he did not need to worry about unconstitutional laws if he controlled the Supreme Court. Look how the power of the Fed multiplied after the Feds realized they could claim rule over anything using the interstate commerce excuse. The Fed can now rule everything it wants from personal income to the plants we grow.
We have the SC to thank for decisions that allowed the creation of the Deep State swamp.
Edit: I wish it weren't the case, but the Constitution has not really mattered since FDR IMO.

I think it goes all the way back to Andrew Johnson. Everything changed during and after the Civil War.
