“Joe Sibley is a poker enthusiast”

Yeah, and he’s holding a busted flush in Rudy’s case.

How do you play poker when you are representing the joker.

I think Rudy may be playing a drinking variant of President.

well, he's definitely not playing with a full deck.

Federal Investigators Execute Search Warrant at Rudy Giuliani’s Apartment
Prosecutors obtained the warrant as part of an investigation into whether Mr. Giuliani broke lobbying laws as President Trump’s personal lawyer.

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.

The federal authorities have been largely focused on whether Mr. Giuliani illegally lobbied the Trump administration in 2019 on behalf of Ukrainian officials and oligarchs, who at the same time were helping Mr. Giuliani search for dirt on Mr. Trump’s political rivals, including President Biden, who was then a leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.

The United States Attorney’s office in Manhattan and the F.B.I. had for months sought to secure a search warrant for Mr. Giuliani’s phones.

Federal Investigators Execute Search Warrant at Rudy Giuliani’s Apartment

Prosecutors obtained the warrant as part of an investigation into whether Mr. Giuliani broke lobbying laws as President Trump’s personal lawyer.

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.

I pretty much 1000% guarantee the search warrant affidavit mentions alleged violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

Wouldn't be amazing if Rudy was the one who went to prison because of "Ukrainegate"!

From NYT article linked to above.

I read that sentence and thought "Giuliani must have used a burner phone, right?".

Then I remembered that the is the guy who has butt dialed reporters twice.

And accidentally tweeted the phone number for a Ukrainian official.

I have a feeling this is going to be soooo sweet.

Paywall.

Federal investigators executed a search warrant Wednesday morning at the New York City apartment of Rudy Giuliani, his lawyer said, an escalation of a yearslong investigation by Manhattan federal prosecutors into the former mayor.

Mr. Giuliani, who became President Trump’s personal lawyer, has been under investigation since at least 2019 by the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office for possible violation of federal lobbying laws related to his business dealings in Ukraine.

The search warrant execution was first reported by the New York Times and was confirmed by Mr. Giuliani’s lawyer, Robert Costello.

Mr. Costello said authorities arrived at Mr. Giuliani’s apartment at 6 a.m. and seized his electronic devices. Mr. Costello said the search warrant describes the investigation as a probe into a possible violation of foreign lobbying rules. Mr. Costello said the warrant sought communications between Mr. Giuliani and individuals including John Solomon, a columnist who was corresponding with Mr. Giuliani about his effort to push for investigations of Joe Biden in Ukraine. Mr. Solomon didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Spokespeople for the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation declined to comment.

I'm sure this statement will be measured and sober, not inflammatory or self-incriminating in any way.

Apparently Victoria Toensing also got a little bit of that search warrant action this morning.

It is unusual for prosecutors to execute a search warrant on a lawyer, although Manhattan federal prosecutors have done so before, most notably in recent years against another former lawyer for Trump, Michael Cohen.

As Balloon Juice poster mistermix noted, “[t]hat last sentence is a nice touch on the part of CNN.”

For the record, the FBI did NOT appear at my door this AM with a warrant to take possession of my electronic equipment.
