On April 16, 2018, the court issued an order invalidating the warrant. The FBI’s subsequent search on April 23, 2018, was conducted under a void instrument. That’s not just improper—it’s unconstitutional. You can deny it all you want, but the court record doesn’t lie
In other words, the state should have told the FBI that the warrant was quashed but they didn't. Secondly The FBI didn't find it until after the warrant was quashed. The FBI received the computers on April 11th, but they didn't go through them until April 23rd. They sat in storage for 13 days before they were even gone through, actually less than that because they indexed them on the 16th.
The judge’s comment that “the investigation could continue” does not override the Fourth Amendment. Just because the judge says they can continue the investigation doesn't mean they can go through the computers without probable cause. They have probable cause to go through a computer, and they lost their original probable cause, that why it was dismissed.
