The raid on Rudy
American Thinker ^ | 29 Apr, 2021 | Doris O'Brien

Posted on 04/29/2021 4:47:16 AM PDT by MtnClimber

This unexpected maneuver was undertaken despite the fact that it came in the midst of cooperative on-going conversations with Giuliani’s attorney.

At some point in the 1980’s, when Rudy Giuliani was a US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, my mother went with a friend to hear him talk at a local meeting. She came home enormously impressed. The speaker, she reported, was not all that good-looking, but he was a real “comer.”

As always, mother was right. After an unsuccessful run for New York City’s mayor in 1989, Giuliani was finally elected to that office in 1994 – and then reelected in 1998. At the end of his second term, he found himself fortuitously in the right place at a terribly wrong time, effectively able to aid and bolster the stunned, bewildered people of his city after the 9/11 attack.

SNIP

But in the intervening years, it has become political sport to turn the tables of affection on Rudy Giuliani. Originally a Democrat, he had over the years become a highly-regarded Republican, at one time aspiring to the presidency. But now, solely by dint of his affiliation with Donald J. Trump, he is regarded by Democrats as a “traitor” to the nation. That is a serious charge, but “words matter” to Democrats only when it suits their purposes.

To emphasize the danger the Biden administration associates with this septuagenarian, this week his apartment in New York City was forcibly entered by FBI agents, who seized whatever electronic devices they could get their hands on. This unexpected maneuver was undertaken despite the fact that it came in the midst of cooperative on-going conversations with Giuliani’s attorney concerning the charges against him.

This is what a one party police state looks like.

After Manafort, the lesson was keep your house “clean”.

Hope Giuliani had this in mind.

Yes.

It's those "demonrats" again.

How awful they controlled the Executive Branch and the Senate until last January.

Oh wait..

Rudy G has always been a favorite, perhaps because his persona and gravitas is bigger than he looks. He’s a bulldog, and a fighter, and i want him in our corner. The fact that he has become an increasing target is an affirmation that he is becoming effective, and the knobs can’t abide that.

This action against him isn’t intended as prosecution; it is intended as persecution.

Note the treatment by our wonderful national police force of Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Guiliani - all of whom were willing to cooperate yet some flying squad of armed agents shows up accompanied by their tipped-off media fans. Note the lack of any raids (or seeming interest) by the same agencies of: 1) accused thief and pedophile Hunter Biden; 2) bribes by foreign interests to the Biden family; 3) patrons of the Jeffrey Epstein pedophile mansions and resorts (the FBI made a big deal of going to his place in the VI to “raid” his mansion there a month after he committed “suicide”); 4) the pimply stormtroopers of Antifa; and there are many others.

I worry that Rudy had a copy of Hunter's hard drive there (which is probably what sent the FIB-bers into a fainting spells). I could see them CHARGING Rudy with child porn possession when it was Hunter that DID IT.

“ this week his apartment in New York City was forcibly entered by FBI agents, who seized whatever electronic devices they could get their hands on.”

Not true. They conspicuously left behind the copy of Hunter Biden’s hard drive.

Now why would they do that?

The permanent bureaucracy is the real issue here. And the permanent political class like McConnell.

I still can’t forgive Trump for deserting us after 1/6. Why hasn’t Trump and his family been the subject of these post “election” witch hunts? The Manhattan DA and SDNY had been preparing to persecute the Trump family for years. No third (real second party) party, no presence on social media, no power, no trouble, no prosecution? Can someone please tell me why Trump rolled over without a fight if not to avoid a lifetime in court for himself and family?

I concur with your sentiments.

From my pov, someone got to him, like ‘your son will have an accident.’

It remains to be seen if he’ll run in ‘24...if we survive the next 4 years.

As deep as the deep state is, I don’t believe for a second that Trump couldn’t have made raids happen on the enemies of this country, in particular the people you listed.

-- Biden's DystopiAmerica --

The dystopia that Ameica is becoming is independent of Biden. He may or may not be part of it, but he doesn't control it. It doesn't work against him because he does nothing to oppose or illuminate.
