Rudy Giuliani deleted his tweet saying he would speak live on WABC at 3 pm ET. So much for that, I guess.

And what does this mean?The resemblance with Matt Gaetz is striking https://t.co/CNoMyi28gZ

/2 First let's review what a federal search warrant means. It means that the feds provided a sworn affidavit to a magistrate judge showing that there is probable cause to believe these specific locations have evidence of a specified federal crime.

And, you know, since this is also true:/13 Because Rudy is a lawyer, technically, we also know that the warrant required high-level approval. This could not be just some local AUSA power tripping. This went up the chain and got approved.

So screw Andrew.Trump’s stooge Bill Barr blocked this very warrant to search for and seize evidence of Clown Rudy’s crimes on behalf of Trump. What a difference a principled and independent Attorney General makes!https://t.co/KcOIukLTbI

(That attorney-client privilege argument can be sorted out in court. That is a reason for the high-level approval of the search warrant, though.)Feds raided Rudy Giuliani's Manhattan home and office "at dawn" Wednesday in search for electronic devices, his attorney Bob Costello confirms in lengthy statement.

Costello claims the devices are "replete with material covered by the attorney-client privilege." pic.twitter.com/M9mqvYHNtK
The "wild claims" have a legal nomenclature: it's called "pounding on the table." Works, sometimes, with juries; but there isn't a jury yet. Just pisses off judges. And giving away the game? Really not the mark of a top-flight criminal defense lawyer.Aside from the Biden diatribe, Costello is confirming a rather important detail — that the search warrants executed today pertain to "an alleged incident" of Giuliani failing "to register as a foreign agent."

(Goldman was majority counsel in Trump's first impeachment trial.)This makes sense because, during the Ukraine impeachment investigation, we obtained draft retainer agreements between a Ukrainian official and Toensing and diGenova that Giuliani brokered. https://t.co/XT3GN674Ym

(We lost so much in November.)why isn’t mr. Biden doing a post yet on how “sloppy Rudy Giuliani is in big trouble. Raided! He was so nasty to me and my beautiful boy (innocent! Check tape). Too bad!”

(He rescued children from a burning building! He gave a gunshot victim his own blood, right there on the street! He opened the vein with his teeth! He kissed babies! He petted dogs!)Portion of a long statement released by Rudy Giuliani's lawyer Bob Costello: pic.twitter.com/YNF78Rnos0

(Yeah, this is kind of a Big Deal.)Hold the phone -- FBI now at Victoria Toensing's house. Lawyer, wife and partner of Joseph DiGenova, same circles as Rudy and Trump. This has the hallmarks of a bigger day at DOJ. And she's probably not expecting it, unlike Rudy

Toensing and diGenova are two scumbag lawyers I'd love to see end their days in prison along with so many others. Absolute banality of evil territory here.
