Rudy’s time is nigh

The Herald reports:

Officials have searched the properties of US President Donald Trump’s lawyer and former associate attorney general Rudy Giuliani.

A law enforcement official tells the Associated Press that federal investigators have executed search warrants at Rudy Giuliani’s Manhattan residence and office.

I said a couple of years ago I expected Ridy to be charged by Christmas. I got the timing wrong, but possibly not the substance.

Officials in the Trump-era Justice Department would not sign off on the request, according to multiple people who insisted on anonymity to speak about the ongoing investigation with which they were familiar.

And this may be why I was out on the timing.

Of course a search warrant is not a prosecution let alone a conviction. But it is significant. We’ll see where it goes.
