Mar a Lago raided by FBI

[Mr._Clark]

This is curious. A grand jury in Florida is reportedly hearing witnesses in a probe that is related to the Mar-a-Lago case.

The experts quoted in the Salon article (link below) have some pretty good guesses about what it might mean. My best guess is that the DOJ thinks that one of the people involved (other than Trump) has lied to investigators or knows more than he/she has disclosed, so they're looking at a possible indictment in Florida in order to tighten the screws on the person.

Experts: Fla. grand jury may target associates who “followed Trump

Special counsel may be "investigating a one-off charge in Florida against an individual defendant or two."

It looks like the immunity deals are starting to play out. Once the government grants immunity, the Fifth Amendment goes bye bye and the witness can either sing like canary or go to the Greybar Hotel.

It looks like Giuliani might be trying to cut a deal to avoid an indictment. There's really no way to know right now how significant this is, however.

>>>Former Watergate prosecutor Nick Ackerman told MSNBC that Giuliani was "smack-dab in the middle of everything." "If he comes totally clean here, Donald Trump is in big trouble, John Eastman is in big trouble, right down the line, possibly General Flynn, Roger Stone, Steve Bannon," he said.<<<

“This won’t go well for Trump”: Experts say Giuliani “trying to avoid indictment” by cutting a deal

“They’re considering ways to move up the Jan. 6 food chain. That’s ominous for Trump," says attorney Norm Eisen

It looks like Giuliani might be disbarred in DC in addition to being suspended in NY.

>>>An attorney disciplinary committee has recommended Rudy Giuliani be disbarred in Washington, DC, for his efforts on behalf of then-President Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 election results. . . . The panel’s recommendation is not final; the case against Giuliani still must be considered by DC’s Board on Professional Responsibility and by the DC court of appeals. . . . Giuliani, the former top federal prosecutor in Manhattan and a lawyer for Trump, is also facing an attorney ethics review in New York. His law license at this time is temporarily suspended, marking a substantial downfall for the once highly regarded American political and legal figurehead.<<<
