Lots to unpack about the Giuliani search warrants, which I will do with @NicolleDWallace at 4pm. But a couple of notes that aren't getting much attention:
Daniel Goldman
@danielsgoldman
1) I would bet a lot of $$ that the SDNY already obtained Giuliani's emails pursuant to search warrants, which helped provide probable cause to get these search warrants. They would have sent preservation requests to service providers so he could not erase his emails.

2) Many people in Giuliani's situation would remove or erase any relevant docs once reports of attempts to get a search warrant surfaced. Agents would have to show PC that evidence of a crime would be found at the location. It could just be elec devices, but could be more too.

3) Finally, when we were doing the Ukraine investigation, there was some evidence (and a lot of smoke) that Giuliani and associates were capitalizing financially from his relationship with Trump (as well as politically). We never got his bank records but the SDNY likely has them.

I hope if they arrest Rudy the police are nice and protect his head when they put him in the car.

Cohen also said that there would be no peaceful transition of power if Trump loses the 2020 election

I'm glad. But Rudy has had ample time to destroy and discard all devices involved.
