THREAD: What does today's news that law enforcement executed a search warrant at Rudy Giuliani's apartment tell us?
1/ Today federal prosecutors reportedly executed a search warrant at Rudy Giuliani's apartment. They also seized his electronic devices during the search.
This is a major move that indicates that the criminal investigation of Giuliani is very far along. nytimes.com/2021/04/28/nyr…
2/ To obtain a search warrant, federal law enforcement had to present evidence to a federal judge sufficient for that judge to conclude that there is good reason to believe:
1) A federal crime was committed
2) Evidence of that crime is in Rudy's apartment and electronic devices
THREAD: What should we make of the news that the Manhattan District Attorney's office has Donald Trump's tax returns and related records?
1/ Today, multiple news outlets have reported that the Manhattan DA's office obtained Trump's tax returns and (according to some reports) millions of pages of related documents from Mazars USA, Trump's accounting firm.
2/ This is the culmination of a lengthy legal fight that ultimately went to the Supreme Court.
It's not at all surprising that Mazars quickly complied with the subpoena once it was clear that courts would enforce it. They have no interest in fighting on Trump's behalf.
