Point: If the Army raided the CIA server farm in Frankfurt, it was likely be run from the consulate in Frankfurt, which is US soil. They would be well within their rights to do so.

It was supposed to have been in offices leased by the spooks for spook things, far away from a consulate. Plausible deniability and all . . .

Got sauce on that? I saw an article earlier today which showed a photo of the consulate. It could have been a "file" photo. Thanks.

They are used to operate from the American Consulate General Office, the largest US consulate in the world:

Maybe they used rooms near the DE-CIX internet node too, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is a bunch of direct lines used by NSA and CIA to intercept the European internet traffic.
