It’s not a catch-22. They can use it, and include it in the affidavit for a warrant. They’re just going to ALSO need some other evidence in order to satisfy the judge that the warrant is justified.

It's a catch-22 because the defense can now attack it for being presented in court when the disclaimer says not to.

They apparently did have enough other evidence to satisfy the judge since they got the warrant without it.
