Toensing’s firm released a statement saying that she “was informed that she is not a target of the investigation.”

No one is ever the target of the investigation, until they are.

I wonder if Brady Toensing will chime in.

Surely they must all get confused as to whom is representing whom, and at which unindictable moments, and outside of clandestine meetings with foreign oligarchs. Q: How do they keep it all straight?

A: Hopefully on their phones.

I would love to see her and her husband flattened by the karma bus.

When I see a picture of Toensing and her husband Joe diGenova it’s as if they were dressed up in mod inspired early 70’s attire and thrown out of some suburban key party for going on about some John Bircher conspiracy and claiming that Nixon was framed.

Wait!!! John Solomon was mentioned in the Rudy warrant too? WTF is that about?

Sorry if this sentiment has been expressed like 23 times already today but if Merrick Garland does a Gambino-style rollup on the whole rotten crowd, the karma of it would be worthy of a Greek tragedy. And also very funny. It would work on so many levels, as one says.

There are conflicting reports on the target of the warrant. Per Politico, the feds seized a cell phone, while the New York Times’s Maggie Haberman reported that the warrant was executed on Toensing’s D.C.-area home.

These are not conflicting reports. The search warrant authorized investigators to enter her home, where the cell phone that was the object of the search warrant was located and seized.

Solomon was neck-deep in the Ukrainian dirt-digging and disinformation laundering, in collaboration with Giuliani. Whatever specific crimes the feds are investigating, it’s that conduct of Giuliani’s that seems to be its origin.

Ukraine is WTF that is about. He published columns advancing the notion that there was information that tended to show Biden had been at fault in dealing with Ukraine. Much of this was shown to be a fabrication.

I guess they all thought Trump would win and none of this shit would ever come back on them or that Trump would pardon them.

I have to warn you any use of the verb “to think” in reference to these geniuses will get you that “facts not in evidence” thing that’s always so hilarious. Frankly I may never know what these sad goofs were thinking.

I assumed this was Firtash related FARA violations, but this makes it sound like they’ve got something very specific and election-related. Popcorn!!

Sometimes when there are a lot of moving parts like this I just assume it’s about what you’d figure and let the professionals sort it all out. Nobody’s paying me to.
