The FBI has carried out searches at the home and office of Rudy Giuliani, who was Donald Trump's personal lawyer.

The raid is part of a probe into Mr Giuliani's dealings with Ukraine. His lawyer says he denies breaking the law.

Before the 2020 presidential election Mr Giuliani led an effort to find incriminating information about Democratic candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter in Ukraine.

Two hours ago. Giuliani found incriminating evidence and published it on his podcast. Even the BBC doesn't get its facts straight.

Trump should’ve pardoned everyone involved in his Russia Russia Russia defense for everything they ever did. Should’ve pardoned all his staff and cabinet and their staff.

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.

We know.

Right? Just like Obozo sic’d the IRS, BATF, OSHA, FBI ,DOJ on political opponents...Biden doing the same. Read today, placing people on the no fly lists as well.

Warrants require some level of probable cause.

I would guess coming from a grand jury.

The likelihood of an indictment after search warrants are very high for any case.

Looks like real trouble.

led an effort to find incriminating information about Democratic candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter in Ukraine.

Only the FBI are allowed to do that.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

Since when have the Dems needed probable cause for ANY warrants, just ask the FISA courts!! These bastards LIE their way into ANY warrant they want!!

[Toad of Toad Hall]

You mean like FISA warrants? That’s it. Just ignore the legal persecutions of the last four years. If by “real trouble” you mean “thought crime”, you’re probably right. WAKE UP!

[glorgau]

> Warrants require some level of probable cause.

It could have been some dossier that the fbi (fib) got from some russian source and presented to a fisa court...

Fake, fake, fake.

[Mount Athos]

So this is it, we’re finally reliving the Chinese cultural revolution

[BitWielder1]

Does FBI ever raid Democrats?

[Secret Agent Man]

Dunno

I am pretty sure they can get a grand jury to do what they want them to do, especially when they pick them

Feds Raid Rudy Giuliani Apartment, Seize Electronic Devices – It’s The Corrupt DOJ FARA(951) Angle All Over Again

April 28, 2021 | Sundance

According to media reports federal authorities raided the New York apartment of Rudy Giuliani today.  Apparently electronic devices were seized as part of their investigation into him.  However, the DOJ motive behind the investigation is something everyone should be familiar with, Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA).

The corrupt and political agents at the DOJ, led by attorney Andrew Weissmann, have used FARA(951) violations to target their political opposition.  They attempted, and in some instances successfully used, FARA investigations and prosecutions against Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, Carter Page, Walid Phares and others.

Former DOJ official Andrew Weissmann ran the FARA division of the DOJ-NSD specifically to use this approach as a political weapon.  However, notice he never went after any Democrats who were well documented to be lobbying while unregistered for foreign governments.  The Podesta brothers were two notorious lobbyists who were not registered and the DOJ looked the other way.

FARA violations being used as a backdoor justification for political targeting has long been the approach of a weaponized DOJ.  They are using that same tactic again in their effort to target Rudy Giuliani.

New York – 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. (read more)

It’s likely they struggled to get a search warrant because it is well known that Guiliani was not lobbying for Ukraine, but rather communicating with Ukraine officials about the corruption of the Biden Family and Hillary Clinton through the Ukraine government.

Giuliani was publicly informing everyone of his contacts and findings, and that included the White House.  That’s not lobbying; that was his job as Trump’s counsel during the ridiculous impeachment effort.

Rudy talks Ukraine and Biden on Mornings With Maria

[crosdaddy]

No, why would they do that? They’re Democrats themselves, and the few that identify as Repubs, are wimpy, go along to get along zeros, despite what Sean Hannitty says.

[blackdog]

Gathering all the Biden pay to play evidence to be put next to the Seth Rich, Huma Abedin, Anthony Wiener, Clinton Foundation, and Jeffery Epstein evidence in a very dark and bottom abyss. You know, for safe keeping.

[tallyhoe]

yea They took every electronic device except Hunter Biden’s laptop hard drive!!!!

[Georgia Girl 2]

I’m sure Rudy left incriminating evidence in his office and townhouse for the FBI to stumble across. 🙄

[doc maverick]

The JoeBama regime must think Rudy has some really incriminating evidence, but it’s too late to cover it up now. Rudy isn’t stupid.
