they look about as honest as Trump.. which is not much. You can add Nadler and Schiff to the not honest looking bunch.

Feds are seeking a search warrant to look at Giuliani's electronic communications over his Ukraine dealings.
Source: NBC.
SDNY is also investigating Giuliani's finances. It seems some of these investigations/warrants were being kept quieter ahead of the election, but now, post-election, there is less sensitivity. Same as the Hunter Biden tax investigation.

At this point I'm just assuming anyone sucking up to Trump is just angling for a pardon. I saw Bannon was back in the White House yesterday.

In new court filing, Bill Barr accused of arresting impeachment witnesses to shield Trump
Lev Parnas, an indicted former associate of Rudy Giuliani, alleges his arrest was part of a plot to protect Trump
I thought this part about Dowd was interesting...
"After securing the president's personal approval, Dowd took Parnas as a client.
On Oct. 8, a Tuesday, Dowd sent an email to a number of attorneys affiliated with Trump's defense team, calling the president "Boss" and promising that Dowd would "eliminate any doubt" that Parnas and Fruman would answer questions before Congress. Dowd then sent a letter to House investigators informing them that Parnas and Fruman would not appear for their scheduled deposition on Thursday, Oct. 10. The next day, Parnas and Fruman were arrested. Two of the attorneys copied on Dowd's email were the same people who had been scheduled to fly with them to Europe."

Lev Parnas, Ex-Giuliani Ally, Is Convicted of Campaign Finance Charges
A federal jury found that Mr. Parnas and a second man funneled a Russian tycoon’s money to U.S. candidates to win favorable treatment for a marijuana business.
On Friday, Mr. Parnas’s activity as a political donor caught up with him, as a jury convicted him on all six counts he was facing. Mr. Kukushkin was also found guilty.
In a statement, Damian Williams, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, said that Mr. Parnas and Mr. Kukushkin had conspired to manipulate the American political system to enrich themselves.
The verdict came after about six hours of deliberations, following testimony from, among others, a onetime finance director of a super PAC supporting Mr. Trump; an ex-chief of staff to a former Republican congressman from Texas; and the 2018 Republican candidate for governor of Nevada.
Prosecutors outlined a two-part scheme, saying Mr. Parnas had lied to the Federal Election Commission about certain campaign donations he had made and that he and Mr. Kukushkin had tried to gain favor among candidates with contributions tied to the Russian tycoon, Andrey Muraviev, with whom they were involved in a cannabis business.
“The purpose behind this conspiracy was influence buying,” a prosecutor, Hagan Cordell Scotten, said during closing arguments on Thursday, adding: “The voters would never know whose money was pouring into our elections.”
