BREAKING: FEDS RAID GIULIANI’S APARTMENT — Scoop from the NYT’s William Rashbaum, Ben Protess and Maggie Haberman: “Federal investigators in Manhattan executed a search warrant on Wednesday at the Upper East Side apartment of RUDOLPH W. GIULIANI, the former New York City mayor who became President DONALD J. TRUMP’S personal lawyer, stepping up a criminal investigation into Mr. Giuliani’s dealings in Ukraine, three people with knowledge of the matter said. “One of the people said the investigators had seized Mr. Giuliani’s electronic devices. Executing a search warrant is an extraordinary move for prosecutors to take against a lawyer, let alone a lawyer for a former president, and it marks a major turning point in the long-running investigation into Mr. Giuliani. … Under Mr. Trump, senior political appointees in the Justice Department repeatedly sought to block such a warrant … After MERRICK B. GARLAND was confirmed as President Biden’s attorney general, the Justice Department lifted its objection.” — At the crux of the probe, investigators have been trying to figure out whether Giuliani lobbied Trump illegally for favors for Ukrainian oligarchs who were helping him sniff out Biden controversies. One of the key questions has been whether he was paid for trying to persuade Trump to oust U.S. Ambassador MARIE YOVANOVITCH. Notably, House impeachment investigators chose not to pursue this financial angle as part of their investigation in the fall of 2019. But it may be the thing that lands Giuliani in the most trouble. But don't worry Rudy, you can always fist fight with the judge... the financial thing is only a 2 to 10 year sentence anyway!
