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.

This should take up about a year and a half of media innuendo, nonsensical accusations, and random headline generation; until circa elections 2022 as a way to continue ad lib Trump-bashing.
There was a series of EOs and laws and administrative rules that followed. They are not a union in the sense of collective bargaining. They are a union of ‘procedures’ that require hearings before administrative judges.
It’s difficult to understand but lying and stealing become legal when a mountain of procedural rulings is formed behind it. For example, a person taking a gem to a jewelry shop can sell it to the jewelers for money. Later if it’s discovered to be stolen, the jewelers are not liable if several bills of sale are transacted on the stolen gem and the statutes of limitations has passed.
I knew Holocaust victims more than a decade back (they have since passed) whose son discovered their Nazi stolen $20 million Pizarro sitting in a Madrid museum. It was a major, major effort to recover and took an international law firm in Seattle nearly ten years to get an agreement.
So it is with the Federal workforce, they’ve evolved as social pathogens for so long without anyone watching that to reverse their institutionalized hold on government requires not just a President but a wholesale unity and commitment of the American people.
It’s a disease and only a historic hiccup of revolt can begin to attack it. We might be in that zone with a clearly illegitimate occupant in the White House as this awareness expands into all government structures. We should understand that ‘Dominion’ and all its cousins were in play many years in the past and many government offices have illegitimate occupants as a result. It’s evident that Soros Secretaries of States Project is linked to Diebold, Smartmatic, thereby Dominion, and that this project extended to courts, judges, DAs and others in government.
Government directors select their workforce and progressives in government select young progressives by hiring them out of college where they are coddled coming up through the ranks. Moderates are passed over, conservatives are driven out. No reversal of EOs is going to be effective against this long-term infestation.
They play the long game and they are sly about it. Progressives in Congress protect them.
So it’s a cancer and it takes a radical treatment to rid government of this disease. There are no easy solutions short of Civil War. The best solution is to unite people to come to awareness and then come to unity of agreement on a long-term course of reforms. But they have to have control of political structures to do that.
Americans must simply get involved in politics. No more excuses. They need to join the Precinct Project led by Dan Shultz. That’s already happening in Georgia and it’s causing the establishment to crap their britches. It’s effective, very effective.
Hero Edward Snowden is safe because he chose his destination wisely.
Rudy KNEW this was coming he has his ass covered, AND they will NEVER find everything about that Hunter computer NEVER!!
I sure hope so. I've seen enough BS from the FBI over the past decade to expect them to create evidence to bolster false charges. Yes, I'm that cynical.
The SOB's are after Rudy, Stone, Patel, Bannon, and Trump himself. I never thought I'd live to see our country become a banana republic right before my eyes.
Communist purge is beginning to get up to full speed...
Once they are through with all the campaign workers and supporters, they’ll be coming for the registered voters...
Right on the predicted (last Nov) schedule...
They recognize that they are now unstoppable...
Americans continue to demonstrate that they are, in general, sniveling cowards and will allow any weight of chains as long as those stim-checks keep coming...
I could not agree with you more. I thought that we would fight the theft of the election to the last drop of blood, understanding what it meant. I could not have been proven more wrong.
Exactly that is why I said he needs a crew ready to go, nine months then appoint another.
No I specifically did not say that, what I said was replacing RINOs with democrats doesn't work either.
You say that in spite of evidence that clearly shows both those clowns were not playing on the Trump team? Wise up. The fact is it didn’t matter who was AG.
Keep saying that, ask Rudy if he agrees with you.
JUST ANOTHER WITCH HUNT!
“He was someone that tried to pass information to me. I didn’t use most of it,” John Solomon said of Giuliani. “If they want to look at that, there’s not going to be anything surprising in it.”
Everything was sitting “in plain view,” Solomon said. He said he believed his reporting had “stood the test of time” and maintained that he was “unaware of a single factual error” in any of his stories.
On what charge?
Or just fishin'?
John Solomon is one of the best investigative journalist in the business. Period. He broke more stories in the last 4 years than most news rooms did. He also provides the source documents for his work.
If he says it, you can take it to the bank.
What a naughty laptop!
Great analysis. +10
Fishing expedition.
America’s Mayor can’t run. He is New York City, all that remains of it that is good. Trump is John Galt at this point. He will return later, making the sacred sign of the dollar, to make America great again.
On another tack, it’s been twelve or more hours, and so I guess they didn’t find any salacious photos of Rudy and a minor, or it would have been leaked already.
And it won’t even matter if Rudy escapes this.
Everyone knows why he is being “investigated” now.
How are the FIB coming along with Hunter Biden’s laptop?
See any crimes they should be investigating yet?
What about Anthony Weiner-Huma-Hillary’s Emails?
