Federal investigators in Manhattan executed a search warrant on Wednesday at the Upper East Side apartment of Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former New York City mayor who became President Donald J. Trump’s personal lawyer, stepping up a criminal investigation into Mr. Giuliani’s dealings in Ukraine, three people with knowledge of the matter said.
One of the people said the investigators had seized Mr. Giuliani’s electronic devices.
Executing a search warrant is an extraordinary move for prosecutors to take against a lawyer, let alone a lawyer for a former president, and it marks a major turning point in the long-running investigation into Mr. Giuliani.
The federal authorities have been largely focused on whether Mr. Giuliani illegally lobbied the Trump administration in 2019 on behalf of Ukrainian officials and oligarchs, who at the same time were helping Mr. Giuliani search for dirt on Mr. Trump’s political rivals, including President Biden, who was then a leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.
The United States Attorney’s office in Manhattan and the F.B.I. had for months sought to secure a search warrant for Mr. Giuliani’s phones.

the persecution continues
Rudy investigated the criminality of Hunter Biden and that is illegal.
Yup, and if he has those images on his PCs HE is the one going down for child porn.
So they covered up Russia Gate/Fisa but need to now protect whatever Rudy has on Hunter to protect the “ big guy”
Hopefully the Arizona audit reveals the fraud to the election and exposes that all of this is just revenge to protect senile Joe and the Dems...
He didn't have to have an AG he could have operated with Temporary AGs if he had some people lined up that were actually honest.
Many of us here tried to criticize Trump for his lack of perception concerning Barr and Ray but we were shouted down. Trump was the greatest President in my lifetime but he made some really bad decisions with his staff and failed to recognize them as bad, in fact he praised Bob Barr on his last moments in office, hope he doesn't still think he was a good guy.
3rd world banana republic @$^^##$%.
So you could decipher the problem sitting in your armchair but Trump couldn’t sitting in the White House? Ridiculous.
The fact is it didn’t matter who was AG. Without the support of his own party on his flanks nothing Trump’s AG did was going to be effective. The bureaucracy simply acted as if he was not POTUS nearly all the time.
I agree 100% but we can't defeat them by seating Democrats. There is no easy solution as every country that has been overrun by communist tyrants can attest.
Was it live on CNN?
I am sure Rudy knew this was coming.
Better get the DVD of the German film, The Lives of Others. Getting way to close to home.
If you are suggesting that seating republicans will solve it then I fully disagree. We tried that, they showed us who they were. They hated Trump because they hate us and hate what we care about. They lie to us and they especially hate that Trump made them show their true colors. They are happily standing by and letting the democrats turn the FBI into the Gestapo as long as it goes after conservatives.
They are not different of better than the democrats. The lesser of two evil is still evil, and frankly I no longer think they are a lesser evil.
Yep. The DOJ is the American version of the KGB. And they get away with it only because of our very own Pravada media which will cheer this witch hunt against America’s Mayor instead of ridiculing the dangerous SOB’s.
He did operate with temporary acting appointments but they are time-limited in that capacity. But he tried and he did make progress using those options but 210 days or 7 months is not enough time to stack the deck against Swamp bad actors especially when certain factions of the federal senior service would stonewall and drag their feet.
Unfortunately, trying to fire, terminate, demote federal employees is like an effort to land on Mars. They have for generations insulated themselves and call each effort to to discipline them an attempt to ‘politicize’ government workers.
We need an overwhelming unity of Americans committed to taking back their government and passing laws to get rid of federal workforce intransigence. They can be disciplined through courts but it’s not easy and the lawyers that know terrain are mostly grooved into EEOC and Torts under FTCA. It can be done but it’s tortuous.
Rudy KNEW this was coming he has his ass covered, AND they will NEVER find everything about that Hunter computer NEVER!!
I believe all cabinet heads have to be approved initially by the Senate so the employment pool to pick from is limited which is why past administrations played switcheroo with the same familiar personalities so often. I believe temps. are good for 9 months.
I welcome corrections.
Kennedy made these bureaucratic asshats Union by EO I don’t know WHY IN THE HELL Trump did not overturn that EO!!
Now the lawfare is being conducted at the national level. Wait until the dems control the state level and bring it to a neighborhood near you. We’ll understand what the German population lived through 19333-45.
The mistake Trump made during his 1st two years of his presidency is that he did nothing to stop the FBI from becoming a complete and utter swamp creature land..he could have ordered the feds to investigate Hillary Clinton, prosecute her, etc..instead he put in Wray, who makes Comey look like a genius..and Bill Barr who did absolutely nothing..now look at the feds, its 100 percent pure commie now, and its just starting with Rudy, its all about getting the copies of Hunter’s hard drive, once they do that they will go after anyone who ever worked for Trump and find a reason, any reason to lock them up
