fbi may not investigate under the first amendment but the fbi will pursue and doj will prosecute those who use violence and violate federal law and attempt to further their ideological goals. with that i will close and i appreciate the opportunity to discuss these issues today and look for to answering your questions. >> thank you, mr. wiegmann. we proceed now to the question and answer section and i will recognize myself first for five minutes and then go to ranking member and then back and forth between democrats and republicans for the full first round and probably your second round as well. recognize myself for five minutes and we have to talk about definitions as mr. wiegmann just mentioned. i understand the fbi applies to term domestic terrorism to criminal acts that violate federal law in particular 18 united states code that is the crimes code section 2331 part five primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the united states which represent more than simply first amendment protected speech, no matter how buttery alec or hateful. is that an accurate description of the fbi

i trusted the fbi.hen you were nominated i was hopeful that you would bring that change to the fbi and i stated publicly that you had the opportunity to clear their reputation and establish trust with the american people and instead i am concerned that i would ask what you intended to do about the reputation of the fbi and the distrust the american people have. >> mr. chairman the fbi's reputation is something that matters deeply to us and every member of this committee. and i have been committed since i started this job making sure that the fbi does the right thing in the right way and i have tried to instill that message in everything we do and most of them more than once that includes on forstmann in all 50 states, meeting with victims families and prosecutors and the reputation that i be our people out in those communities and it differs greatly with all due respect to the testimony that we just heard and i would add that over the last couple of years the number of americans applying to be special a

the fbi may not investigate on the basis of first amendment protected activity at the fbi will pursue and the doj will prosecute those who use violence in violation of federal law in it -- in an attempt to further their ideological goals. i appreciate the opportunity to discuss this today. rep. cartwright: we proceed now to the question and answer session. i will recognize myself first for five minutes and then go to ranking member aderholt and then we will go back and forth between the democrats and republicans for the full first round and probably proceed to a second round as well. i recognize myself or five minutes. assistant director sanborn, we have to talk about definitions as mr. wiegmann mentioned. i understand the fbi applies the term domestic terrorism to criminal acts violates federal law, in particular 18 united states code section 2331, subpart five, primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the united states which represents more than simply first amendment protected speech , no matter how vitriolic or hateful. is that inaccurate description of the fbi's approach

not just mcas and not just fbi. i will take a step back. there was a mobile salvage unit that has expertise in going under water and can go through the ship and under the water. they were then responsible for locating victims under the water line. and then we handled the victims that were actually, what we would consider in the drier areas of the ship. so we were dealing with both. there are engine compartments underneath the mistakes in which the deck plating just buckled up this way, and then buckled down. so think 360 degrees. everything is just kind of moving out like a bomb, and bending steel. >> talk to us about the investigation from your perspective. and how long did it take for eight linked to be made to al-qaeda? >> to answer the last part of your question, from all sorts of intelligence, that's with the fbi and ncis team said, this will be eight intelligence investigation. having the greatest resources and assets out there it was coming in very early that they were very strong indications that there was al-qaeda operandi from eas

s., fbi investigation of the uss cole bobbing. if we can go back to the beginning i would like to ask you when were you first motive fight about the bombing in with you here initially? >> so if you go back. october 12th thursday and i was stationed in naples, italy at the time, and was doing criminal investigations at the time, and major case response. so the first call that i got was to come back to the office. i was told that there had been an explosion on the cole. it was hazy, the information coming out. so people were saying that it was a refueling accident. the fuel going into the ship have exploded in some way. in the initial photos we were seeing from cnn show that that was not the case at all. from the way that the damage looked. that was the initial information. i was told to get ready. myself and my co-team leader in naples would then be flying within the next 24 hours to go on the ship. >> were you in the region at the time? i know you have been there for a while. >> i was not. i had just left a tour with the ncis offi

she wants to work for the fbi. and she knows the fbi through how we investigated that attack and how we dealt with the victims and the families. so i try to say to our people, think about while villa is out there, while it's not an isolated example, there are victims and their families, if they see the way we operate and the impact we can have for good and for bad, it shapes their view about at least one government institution in a way that lasts forever >> great memories and great stories. great message. thank you very much, director wray. your commitment to civic education as reflected in your willingness to carve out time to be with us today, i know you've got a lot going on. so thank you so much. >> thank you. i'm really encouraged to see you all focusing on his very fundamental and important topic. >> thank you. >> take care. >> so as the director departs from his busy day, i would ask all of you to remain on, because we have a tremendous panel that is still to come. we are going to go right into it. i have th

that's what the fbi/ncis team said. this is going to be in the early phases an intelligence issue, an intelligence investigation. so, having the greatest resources and assets out there, it was coming in very early that there were strong indications that it was al-qaeda-linked individuals and al-qaeda's modus operandi from east africa bombing, for example. so, that very early on developed -- but that by itself is of course the beginning to provide a vector for us from the things we were going to do. so on the morning of the 17th, not too long coincidentally after i arrived in the command post, kathy mentioned the ncis senior special agent mike and the late great john o'neill had a briefing very early that morning. because the behind the scenes ambassador bodin's state department were busy negotiating with yemeni foreign ministry, interior ministry, as well as our intelligence service to be able to take the investigative team, the u.s. investigative team out to the sites that were known at that point. and there were four

quote, the fbi warned rudolph w. giuliani in late 2019 that he was the target of a russian influence operation aimed at circulating falsehoods intended to damage president biden politically ahead of last year's elections, according to people familiar with the matter. "the post" adds that it was a defensive briefing, and then explains the significance of that. quote, defensive briefings are given to people to alert them that they are being targeted by foreign governments for maligned purposes. but they're also used to see how they respond to that, said frank figliuzzi. quote, they're now on notice, they said. so rudy giuliani is placed on notice that he's aiding russia, a u.s. adversary, and then he proceeds anyway. it's a vexing national security question that throws the door wide open to questions about donald trump's role in laundering russian disinformation from his perch in the oval office. more critically, these questions are adjacent to questions into the scope of the investigation into rudy giuliani for violat

>> no. >> when you met with the fbi, you informed fbi agents that -- >> i'm going to object. improper form of cross examination. >> sidebar. >> good thursday morning, everyone. craig melvin here. we have been watching and listening to day four of testimony in the trial of derek chauvin. another sidebar here underway. chauvin, the former minneapolis police officer, in the murder of george floyd. we heard more emotional testimony, this time from floyd's girlfriend, courteney ross. describe b the relationship as a fun adventure. she spent the last few minutes talking about their mutual struggle with addiction, specifically opioid addiction. it's something that chauvin's defense attorney is drilling into in this cross examination here. ross' testimony added to a week full of extremely emotional testimony, including from people who witnessed george floyd's death and listened to his cries for help, often not being able to contain their tears on the stand as they re-visited the moment over and over again. meanwhile, on the defense side, chauvin has been sitting through all of it qui

apparently, the fbi also warned him. the fbi last summer also gave what is known as a defensive briefing to senator ron johnson, who used his perch to investigate joe biden's of ukraine. should ron johnson be concerned? because it seems that he was also in the know from the fbi and he, like rudy, dismissed these national security concerns. >> yeah, it's a great question, joy. let me just give your viewers a little bit of context. defensive briefings are not that uncommon. let's say a businesswoman is traveling to a part of the world where our adversaries would like to know what she knows. or might approach her. and the fbi learns of that. they would give her a defensive briefing. so that happens fairly routinely. the really interesting thing is, what do the folks who get these defensive briefings do with that information? overwhelmingly, what they do is they say to the fbi, thank you, understood, got it. i'll be careful. and then when they come back, they might debrief with the fbi to see whether or not they were approac

the fbi is involved. right now, the head of the field office says it would be premature to speculate about a motive. he also said the fbi is helping with the search of the suspect's home. this is the latest mass shooting in a string of violence we have witnessed just in the last few weeks of this year from atlanta, georgia, to boulder, colorado, and now indianapolis. i want to go antonia hylton in indianapolis. we have with us frank fragluzi, a former special agent in charge of the fbi's cleveland field office. antonia, we will start with you. we heard it's early in the investigation, it's an active crime scene. they are working to identify the victims and to positively identify the shooter. bring us up to speed. what else did we learn from authorities last hour? >> reporter: what really strikes me coming out of the presser is not just how heartbreaking and chaotic the scene was last night but how chaotic the situation remains now. what we learned from officials, from the police, from the fbi, is we don't

that was bob and some other teams of fbi. so on the ship, what we did, we were doing multiple scenes. we were recovering the bodies and collecting the postblast evidence. that evidence was being screened on the -- why is that completely out of my head -- >> deck? >> the front deck of the ship. >> it was a long time ago. >> we had sifting tables that we would collect. early on the captain knew and we engaged with him very early on on how to incorporate his people back into their own ship. how to get them involved in what was going on. so through that -- those conversations, they were daily, they assisted with us sweeping every single deck, every single flat surface and helped us sort out what belonged on the "cole." and those piles of, i don't know what it is to this definitely isn't it and those belong to the "cole," we would take those piles and take them back to the post blast shifters to sift it again and go back through it. they found all sorts of things. biological material. dna that was found came back to the individual

the fbi is investigating that separately. the fbi is concerned about someone who would throw this, at the time, nonpublic allegation of sex trafficking in the gaetz's family face. sources tell us look, none of those folks seem to have an apparent connection to the case except they found out about it. in other words they are not going to gaetz on behalf of the 17-year-old alleged victim in the case and saying you need to pay this woman money to make the allegations go away. they are referencing almost bizarre subplot having to do with bob levinson. he is also presumed to be dead. host: thank you for taking us through all of this. matt zapotsky, national security reporter for the washington post >> c-span's "washington journal," every day. we are taking your calls live on the air discussing the news every day and discussing policy issues that impact you. coming up sunday morning, a crime analyst on the rise of the nation's murder and violent crime rate in 2020. then an associate journalism professor talks about his students' re

we were told from multiple sources that the fbi did hit two locations.e the upper east side apartment of rudy giuliani and also his park avenue office building as a search for electronics. this happened early this morning we are told. fbi spokesman and u.s. attorney spokesman so far not commenting at all. we are perhaps expecting some sort of statement out of washington, out of the fbi offices there later today. and we are waiting to hear back from rudy giuliani's lawyer. that means a judge here in new york felt there was enough evidence of possible criminality to authorize a search warrant and authorize the fbi to go in and look for materials as to whether rudy giuliani attempted to have ukrainian officials investigate hunter biden. he was former trump's lawyer. months we heard there has been work to get a search warrant approved. now under the biden administration and this justice department, they believe there is evidence to go forward and conduct these searches and see if any impropriety took place. >> did you say two locations? >> our understanding

he was highlighting the fbi abuses of the secret fisa court, when the fbi was using the fisa court tothe aclu is saying open up the fisa court basically we've got a lot of surveillance of americans we saw in the fbi trump-russia probe that was roundly criticized and condemned as botched. >> thankfully, right before trump left office john ratcliffe unclassified some of those documents but there is a ton of those documents that haven't been unclassified that all of those different things to get the subpoenas to surveil on the trump campaign went through the fisa court. we don't know any of that information because the john durham investigation is supposed to be investigating this but this has been going on for two years and the american public wants to know what happened. if there are things that were criminal or things that were happening to target conservatives by the mere fact that they worked with trump's campaign or worked in the trump administration, that should come out. unfortunately the american people haven't heard it. members of congress are frustrated. members of the judicia

to go after republican whistleblower who called out fbi spying abuses in the fbi russian probe that is led to the conviction of an fbi attorney and a probe that the justice department watchdog said the fbiball. the government investigating a fiery car crash over the weekend involving a self driving tesla a car that had nobody at the wheel, to dead alsoo the story tesla is being allowed self driving cars that don't have government approval, we are going to break that down also climate envoy john kerry on a new fight involving china russia, south korea and environmentalist, they are outraged but john kerry in the biden the administration forced releasing water in japan into the ocean, they are saying why are you letting japan turn thect ocean into a sewer with radioactive water this is the story and will get to the facts on it. plus president biden omitting the border is in crisis is biden's poll numbers about the border plummet, the white house trying to backtrack on the use of the word crisis again, thank you for joining us i'mks melissa elizabeth macdonald "the evening edit" starts ri

fbi agent rick hadel.und any evidence of espionage in marie's murder, but he'd also never forgotten about her. >> so, here it is now january, 2002, i'm a squad supervisor now, i'm the guy that assigns the cases instead of investigating them. and i'm talking with an agent. i said, tony, how about reopening this case as an assault on a federal officer case. >> all just because you never stopped thinking about it. >> exactly. i just -- i didn't like the -- the fact that you got a woman who has given her life, dedicated to the government murdered and just lying out there because nobody cares. and so i thought, well, let's give it another shot. >> so eight years after the murder fbi agent tony vasley called on inglewood pd and met detective russ eniard, who was a month shy of retiring. they started combing through the old files and were assisted by a new inglewood detective, steve siler. >> technology advances so quickly that in 2002 i said to tony vasley, hey, maybe there's fingernail scrapings, maybe there's

the judge gave it out to the fbi. based upon that warrant, information was taken. >> you know what's bizarre about giuliani and his terminology, he said they invaded his icloud. what in the world -- the description is really off. i'm assuming he's talking about a computer search of information that's stored on the icloud. but he also, as you know, diverted into all of this business about hunter biden's hard drive -- >> deflection. >> -- which is an exact description of deflection, which is what you're talking about. >> so at the end of the day, he can say whatever he wants. it's about unfairness, about who i was representing, illegality. what it's about is what the content on the devices is going to show. let's be clear about this. it's not only in relation to the foreign agents registration act and whether he was working for ukraine or someone else, but it's what if anything else on the devices will lead to accusations and will cause real trouble. take it with a grain of salt. i want to know what's on those devices,

also joining us former fbi agent pete strzok is here and daniel goldman. a former u.s. assistant attorney. let's take the pieces apart. one by one. because there's a lot i want to ask you about. first the raid on rudy giuliani's home. >> so this raid is very noteworthy because of the flip flop sort to speak by the justice department. but this is really the financial side of the impeachment inquiry which was the political side. and we were aware of some of these financial shenanigans going on with giuliani and toensing and well beyond anything that we were focused on. and the southern district however has been focused on it and dovetails with the case against other just the interesting news is we heard about giuliani search warrants but this is the search warrant of victoria toensing is particularly noteworthy because there was a retainer agreement between her and corrupt ukrainian officials to pay toensing to effectively do what giuliani was trying to do related to ukraine which was to essentially dig up dirt on joe biden. so i think it's all coming to a head now and we

the fbi has the ability to gather up all that information. but it's absolutely a concern. there was a delay here. our colleague tom winter has reported that the fbi had been seeking the search warrant for a long time and it wasn't granted. i've seen things out there that they were concerned in the fall that it was too close to the election. they didn't want to take consequential action that could affect an election. but the bottom line here is a judge obviously approved this warrant, and the investigation is going forward in a new phase, katy. >> cynthia, the fact he used to be part of this office, how complicated does that make the investigation? does it throw a wrench into things? >> not so much as the fact that he's a lawyer is what really throws the wrench. because all those documents have to be cleared that they aren't attorney-client privilege. and that's his assertion, that he was working for trump and that it's all attorney-client privilege. so somehow there has to be two teams looking at all these documents, what we might call a clean team and a dirty team. the cl

you're a former fbi agent. what would that briefing look like?oes it make giuliani's actions after that warning even more concerning? >> yes, wolf. so they are one of the few criminal investigations investigated by the counter intelligence division. that's because they are foreign intelligence operations. it's not unusual for people in positions of power to be targeted. intelligence services are trying to use them to further their own interests. so when the fbi gives a warning, they're trying to do two things. first they're trying to neutralize any covert operations that the foreign government might be trying to do or by bringing it to light by making the relationship transparent. the second goal is to watch what the person does after, because if they continue that relationship, then they are doing that knowingly. that's really important for the violation. you can't investigate somebody or prosecute them if they were unwitting. you have to show they were willfully acting at the direction and control of a foreign principal. so his continuation of

is a fbi rights investigation announced. does it send a message? does it have a force on the ground? >> i think it definitely does, chris. historically, it's taken the fbi and the doj a long time as swings are swirling around for them to decide politically or other wise to decide to do the investigations and i think that as we have now body cameras and phones where we are at least aware, in the public, in real time about the horrible killings that are happening, a similar thing is happening i think on the department of justice and fbi end, which is now that this is in the public steer and there's pressure that's happening in the streets around these killings demanding answers, we are beginning to see the fbi move quicker. i think it's important to note, yeah, you're right, very often the fbi will have a parallel investigation with the state or local. and here, they are not waiting at all. there is a bit of foot dragging with the tapes coming out, and the fbi is like, get's go. >> i have been reading through the news here, and there are accusations

vince, i want to start with the fbi announcement because it strikes me as pretty notable.had a few announcements, we have the attorney general announcing last week in minneapolis. then yesterday, announcing patterns of practice investigation in louisville. now, those are both after big high-profile controversies in those cities around policing. this is the fbi, federal civil rights investigation being announced in the midst of the controversy, right? the local government still hasn't acted. does that send a message? does that have a kind of force on the ground? >> oh, i think it definitely does chris. you know, historically, it's taken the fbi and the doj relatively long time as things were swirling around for them to decide politically or otherwise to be able to do those types of investigations and i think that as we now have body cameras and phones what we are at least aware in the public in realtime about these horrible killings that are happening, a similar thing is happening i think on the department of justice and fbi in which is now that there in the public sphere a

an fbi informant recorded the conversations. they met in this basement.s a plan to seize the governor from her vacation home and put her on trial. "snatch and grab," he tells the informant. "grab the governor. because at that point, it's over." i wanted to know more about the wolverine watchmen, about how far their network went. >> usa! usa! usa! usa! >> thompson: i hear that several militias will be gathering at a rally in auburb of grand rapids. i decide to show up. even so soon after the arrests, militia members seem undaunted. they march in the streets, openly supporting the alleged plotters and condemning the governor. >> this governor tries to control us, trampling all over our god-gin individual liberties. >> thompson: the militia doing security today is missing two of its members-- the null brothers-- who were charged as part of the kidnapping plot. >> militia members are being arrested and stripped of the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. and i can't speak for all of them, but i know two of them, because two of

but the fbi doesn't have any other resource.termine if there is anything there. it sounds like that is what they are doing. from the documents we have seen so far, it's really hard to see it as prosecutable execution. >> this inquiry was starting under bill barr. if anyone will give gaetz the benefit of the doubt, it would have been them. andrew mccabe, we will ask you back. until then, have a happy easter. the best for you and the family. >> thanks, chris, you too. >> up next, the george floyd murder trial. this is a trial fundamentally about systemic inequality. the issue of floyd's past drug use came up today. emotional. his former girlfriend forthcoming about her own struggles as well as her departed beloved. the prosecution wanted to you hear this. why? what does van jones think about? and what it plays as a dynamic in our society, next. spraying flonase daily stops your body from overreacting to allergens all season long. psst! psst! all good this is the planning effect. as carla thinks about retirement, she'll wonder, "wh

lobbying fbi laws the fbi seized the cell seized his cellphones, computer's. phone, new york times computers, new york times quote one of the warns from quotes mr. giuliani's one of the warrants remedy rudy giuliani devices indicated the federal investigators were's devices in -- were searching for searching for communications things between between him and several ukrainian officials, investigators including the former including former president. president patrick and to push ankle. and two former prosecutors or how former prosecutors who helped mr. giuliani collect mr. giuliani collect information information about the bidens in about the bidens ukraine. i should also tell you. i should also it appears u.s. tell, you it appears that attorneys in manhattan and u.s. attorneys have been the fbi had tried hacked in the fbi for months to get have been trying for months to get the department of the department of justice to approve the justice to search warrants. approve the search warrants, but those but those efforts efforts were rebuffed. quote, were rebuffed un

if you look back at historical fbi patterns globally companies have usually responded to trade barriers and other political frictions by increasing their investment in operations which allow them to what we economists jump terrorist and enjoy the benefits of local companies. most notable of course would be japanese fbi in north america in the 80s and 90s and while we have seen some chinese companies taking advantage of that and increasing their greenfield operation in the us and canada are not experiencing a greenfield fbi boom that many would have expected based on the political relationship so that has many reasons but one of them is that we've gotten to a point where some of the chinese companies would be in a position to make those base investments are simply uncertain about their long-term prospects in the us market given the relativity of the political relationship over the last couple of years and i think that's an important area to watch especially when it comes to political support for chinese investments and we feel sti wants to create jobs and get local officials excited >> t

is an fbi agent being successful at their job? it is not just about the arrest and the prosecutions. it is about the broader disruption. it is unlikely can forget about the russians and chinese and iranians and north koreans but we have to deal with the criminals as well. the u.s. government is capable of doing that but it means we have to have that level of prioritization. >> it also means we have to have a level of coordination across the government. something that makes sure that while the fbi is making the shift and taking this key role and is doing so in lockstep with cisa in terms of being able to derive the information that is meant to get out to everybody else so all defenders can raise their game and all of that and state departments, with respect to the international cooperation in the private sector, with respect to the important work that banks are doing, let's talk a little bit about that what has coronation -- white house coronation -- white house coor dination. congress thought it was a good idea and made it a legal

but the fbi doesn't have any other recourse.y have to look into it to determine whether or not anything is there. it sounds like that's what they're doing. but from the documents we've heard about and seen so far, really hard to see this thing as a prosecutorial extortion. >> on the other hand, this inquiry was started under bill barr. so you would think if any office was going to give gaetz the benefit of the doubt in terms of startinging? like this, especially with this kind of pruie nce. have a happy east. best to you and the family. >> you too. >>> on to our other trial. the george floyd murder trial. this is a trial fundamentally about systemic inequality and the specific lens is policing. the issue of floyd's past drug use came up today, emotional. his girlfriend very forthcoming about her own life and her own struggles as well as her departed beloved. the prosecution wanted you to hear this. why? what does van jones think about this, and what it plays to as a dynamic in our society, next. the harry's razor is not the same

the fbi warned him he was a target of a russian intelligence operation.

the fbi personnel are assisting the crime scene.f the suspect's home and will provide any technical expertise requested by the inpd. many asked what the motive of the shooting was and since 12 hours since the shooting, it is premature to speculate on that motivation. i can tell through is no further threat and updates will continue to be shared as there are more details. we're grateful for the strong partnerships with the law enforcement in indiana. we have done in other cases, the fbi dedicate all available resources to follow every lead and use all investigative capabilities to seek this and bring closure for the families. next up, i would like to introduce the chief investigator from the inpd. >> thank you. >> good morning. first of all, i like to reiterate what has been said. recognize this horrible tragedy that our community experienced this morning and certainly our condolences go out to the victims, their families, friends, loved ones and our thoughts and prayers are certainly with all those who were affected by this, this vi

the secret service, in addition to the fbi is very much focused on investigating cybercrimes. the department is not just focused on the resilient aspect and what we can do to increase basic cyber hygiene and protecting, that is cisa's focus. last but certainly not least, the coast guard is also part of the department of home security and also has an important cyber mission because it is the sector with respect to the maritime transportation system. if you consider the amount of imports and exports, that gives you a sense for the enormous task with respect to the -- protecting the maritime transportation system. the coast guard is also working with u.s. cyber command within the limitation on that piece of work and protecting the postcard networks -- coast guard networks as well. the previous administration had a plan to increase the maritime system that we are continuing to implement. tsa is not only focused on airports but it has some important responsibilities with respect to service transportation and cybersecurity. cisa is the top priority as far as focus but there are a lo

the fbi employee who serves coffee at the starbucks shop at fbi headquarters goes to blow of a background investigation than the president if gets. we have to do this better and i'm not suggest -- when i came out with this on one of the -- certain -- hoes who shall remain nameless decided to edit the clip and saying this guy is calling for some kind of russian panel like in the old soviet union to decide who the president is but no i'm. no here's what i am suggesting. if if had to fill out thick financial disclose sure forms with the vin number on my car, all the income in my household, all the debt, all of my foreign travel, then the president video disclose that, including this taxes, a candidate for president is his taxes taxes and differene close sure and this foreign entang. ments of him and his family. full disclosure. and the other thing, which causes the fbi some minor heartburn issue told the story just to hammer home how frequent this is and how we got to get better at vetting public officials telling the story of having to sit down as assistant director of the fbi across the ta

and after watching four years of politically motivated investigation by the fbi, watching emails from, she would not charge, i think we ought to be very, very skeptical and hold our fire and find out the facts whether we decide to giuliani is guilty of committing a crime, we ought to really be concerned about how politicized the fbi has become over the last four years and it's interesting that after president trump leaves all of a sudden his lawyer is served with a warrant. if president trump had won the election would we be talking about this? i doubt it so i think we ought to be very careful to make sure politics has not seeped into this. >> harris: we always want to know the answer to that question. this has been going on, according to published reports, the investigation of rudy giuliani's potential business dealings or ties to ukraine for several years and as amalie has it shared with us today, her legal perspective on what happens when a search warrant is executed, that this would suggest a certain legal boxes have been checks to get the investigation to maybe go up a bump or go
