From NYT re the Federal warrant also executed on Victoria Toensing today
And Barr's DOJ blocking these warrants:
nytimes.com/2021/04/28/nyr…
2-"F.B.I. agents on Wednesday morning also executed a search warrant at the Washington-area home of Victoria Toensing, a lawyer close to Mr. Giuliani who had dealings with several Ukrainians involved in seeking negative information on the Bidens,
3-"according to people with knowledge of that warrant, which sought her phone. Ms. Toensing, a former federal prosecutor and senior [DOJ] official, has also represented Dmitry Firtash, a Ukrainian oligarch under indictment in the United States whose help Mr. Giuliani sought.
4-ALSO: "The prosecutors in Manhattan tried again after the election, but political appointees in Mr. Trump’s Justice Department sought once more to block the warrants, the people with knowledge of the matter said.
5-"At the time, Mr. Trump was still contesting the election results in several states, a legal effort that Mr. Giuliani led, those officials noted. Wednesday was not the first time that a personal lawyer for Mr. Trump was the subject of multiple search warrants.
6-"In 2018, the F.B.I. searched the offices of Mr. Trump’s previous personal lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, who later pleaded guilty to campaign finance and financial crimes. Mr. Trump called that raid a “disgraceful situation” and an “attack on our country in a true sense.” ~NYT

From court papers submitted by Ryan Macias, a premier voting machine expert & EAC employee who did an accuracy & security report for Maricopa Cty re the Cyber Ninjas recount policies & practices:

(h/t @get_innocuous)

2-"Opinion 1: Neither the software nor hardware used by Cyber Ninjas to scan the ballots for the Vote Count and Tally Phase have complied with federal certification standards nor Arizona Title 16 requirements .. including as to accuracy, reliability, and security.
3-"Opinion 2: The Vote Count & Tally Phase (i.e., hand count) is not a hand count that follows industry best practices or Arizona “Hand Count Tabulating Methods” that have been developed to ensure accuracy, reliability, and security of the count.

Seems that the warrant executed on Giuliani yesterday was about more than 'one single FARA violation' (Giuliani said today)
It's far worse than that:
NYT:
feds were looking for comms rel to the removal of Amb Yovanovitch
-& Giuliani's role in that
Rudy's in a lot of trouble
2-"At issue for investigators is a key question: Did Mr. Giuliani go after Ms. Yovanovitch solely on behalf of Mr. Trump, who was his client at the time? Or was he also doing so on behalf of the Ukrainian officials, who wanted her removed for their own reasons?
3-"..Ln the Giuliani investigation, the federal prosecutors have focused on the steps he took against Ms. Yovanovitch. Mr. Giuliani has acknowledged that he provided Mr. Trump with detailed information about his claim that she was impeding investigations that could

Wait...OMG!
Pentagon officials told Congress last month that it's possible Russia is behind at least 2 'directed energy attacks' including 1 near the WH last November
-causing symptoms similar to those CIA & State ofcls experienced in Cuba, Russia & China

cnn.com/2021/04/29/pol…
2-"Federal agencies are investigating at least two possible incidents on U.S. soil, including one near the White House in November of last year, that appear similar to mysterious, invisible attacks that have led to debilitating symptoms for dozens of U.S. personnel abroad.
3-"Multiple sources familiar with the matter tell CNN that while the Pentagon and other agencies probing the matter have reached no clear conclusions on what happened, the fact that such an attack might have taken place so close to the White House is particularly alarming. …

Politico PM is reporting that sources close to Val Demings, top Dems & donors are saying "at this point it's more likely than not..[she is] almost definitely running for governor.”
She's been talking to Biden, Jaime Harrison & FLA Dem Chair Manny Diaz
⬇️
But:
"The Florida Democratic Party is in shambles, and for years has failed to conduct the voter-registration programs it needs in order to win statewide elections.
And:
"Florida is gaining a new congressional seat next year, which could alter district boundaries for Demings, pushing her Orlando-based seat into less familiar territory.

House GOP chatter about pushing Liz Cheney out is gaining traction
It heated up during the GOP retreat & now Senior House GOP are telling press on background that if a vote happened now she'd be gone
And that McCarthy isn't likely to back here again...
This will hurt GOP badly..
Trump is sharing his thoughts on this now, too
Saying "Cheney is polling sooo low in Wyoming, and has sooo little support, even from the Wyoming Republican Party, that she is looking for a way out of her Congressional race”
Because of her 2024 Presidential aspirations?
There is no polling evidence to support Trump's remarks
He also said: "She’ll either be yet another lobbyist or maybe embarrass her family by running for President, in order to save face.”
This hitback was expected
He is FURIOUS that she'd consider primarying him
Here we go!

WHAT?!?

2-"While the world was distracted with President Donald Trump leaving office on Jan. 20, an obscure Florida company discreetly announced to the world’s computer networks a startling development:
3-"It now was managing a huge unused swath of the Internet that, for several decades, had been owned by the U.S. military.

What happened next was stranger still.
