You can't verify probable cause. If you could, it would no longer be "probable cause" but "provable evidence". And what the defense attorney asks for doesn't matter, because the defense attorney only comes in at the latter stages of the process. Probable cause, itself, is not enough for indictment. Probable cause leads to investigation, where evidence is then collected and determined whether it is enough to establish responsibility for a crime. And that's when the defense attorney comes in.
No, you cannot. Probably cause can lead to inculpatory evidence, but you cannot verify probable cause. You can even verify the evidence used to suggest probable cause, but you don't verify probable cause itself.
That's a completely separate issue. You're not talking about verifying probable cause, you are talking about whether probable cause was valid based on the evidence at hand. The LEO may be able to verify the evidence used to claim probable cause, but you don't verify probable cause itself because the only way to verify probable cause would be the later discovery of inculpatory evidence, which is irrelevant to probable cause in the first place.
Exactly, so there's no reason for you to be talking about defense attorneys.
Considering I'm exposing what you don't know...yes.

Two different issues.

And I never said I'm smarter than everybody else. I just think and act that way.
Not exactly a big deal. Domestic law enforcement often uses misleading and outright lies to catch fish. This was minor league compared to some of the tactics pulled under the Old Queen J. Edgar. He had agents photographing indiscrete politicians in flagrante delicto at every opportunity, ala black socks steamroller Elliot Spitzer, and then used the photos to extort and blackmail them to enhance his own political powers. At one point, he had FBI agents running a brothel in the heart of Chevy Chase, a DC bedroom community, during WWII. Papadopoulos played to this agent hoping he was going to get some.
It was the woman in red who took down John Dillinger.
In this case Papadopoulos was a jerk suckered by a hot babe with a direct question. So what if she wasn't what she claimed to be? He still acted like a jerk.
