Rudolph Giuliani has authorized Robert J. Costello to release the following statement regarding the events on April 28, 2021:
The Biden department of justice has completely ignored clear evidence (which the FBI has had for over a year) in texts and emails on Hunter Biden’s hard drive of failing to register numerous times as a foreign agent, child pornography, money laundering, and 30 years of the Biden Crime family taking millions and millions in bribes to sell his public offices.
Instead, the Justice Department decided it was a higher priority to serve (at dawn) search warrants for electronics at the home and law office of former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.
The search warrants involve only one indication of an alleged incident of failure to register as a foreign agent. Mayor Giuliani has not only denied this allegation, but offered twice in the past two years through his attorney Bob Costello to demonstrate that it is entirely untrue. Twice the offer was rejected by the SDNY by stating that while they were willing to listen to anything Mr. Costello had to say, they would not tell Mr. Giuliani or Mr. Costello, the subject matter they wanted him to address.
This contrasts with multiple proven incidences of failure to file as a foreign agent contained on the Biden hard drive which the FBI and the Department of Justice has ignored. You have not seen the home of Hunter Biden raided by the FBI with search warrants. This behavior of the justice department, enabled by a compliant media, running roughshod over the constitutional rights of anyone involved in, or legally defending, former President Donald J. Trump is becoming the rule, rather than the exception.
It is also a clear example of a corrupt double standard. One for high-level democrats whose blatant crimes are ignored, such as Hilary Clinton, Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, and Republicans who are prominent supporters and defenders of President Trump who, are subjected to false charges and procedures used in the past, if at all, in cases involving terrorists and organized criminals.
The electronics taken are, also, replete with the material covered by the attorney-client privilege and other constitutional privileges. The warrant served on Mr. Giuliani’s law office is another disturbing example of complete disregard for the attorney-client privilege protected by the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution.
Remember the newspaper reports that explained that twice before, the SDNY went to Main Justice to seek permission to obtain a search warrant for Mr. Giuliani’s electronic devices and twice before the request was rejected. What changed? A new Administration – a new Attorney General. Were they ever informed of Mr. Costello’s offer? Was the Judge who signed the search warrant ever informed of Mr. Costello’s offer? We think not.
Twice, Mr. Giuliani’s counsel offered to sit with the SDNY and demonstrate that Mr. Giuliani’s conduct was lawful. It is outrageous that the Trump Derangement Syndrome has gone so far that hatred has driven this unjustified and unethical attack on the United States Attorney and Mayor who did more to reduce crime than virtually any other in American history. Mr. Giuliani respects the law, and he can demonstrate that his conduct as a lawyer and a citizen was absolutely legal and ethical.
Of course, I’m sure you will not be surprised that the FBI left behind the only electronics that contain evidence of crimes, the Hunter Biden hard drives. Mayor Giuliani offered them on several occasions, but the agents steadfastly declined. Keep in mind that the agents could not read the physical hard drives without plugging them in, but they took Mr. Giuliani’s word that the hard drives were copies of Hunter Biden’s hard drive and did not contain anything pertaining to Mr. Giuliani. Think about what that tells you. Their reliance on Mr. Giuliani’s credibility tells you everything you need to know about this case.
Double Jeopardy?
What is double jeopardy and can a President be indicted after leaving office?
How likely is it that Trump will face criminal prosecution after leaving office?
The Justice Department has long maintained that a president may not face criminal prosecution while in office because it would interfere with his duties. But constitutional experts say a former president has no such immunity.
“I think it’s clear that after a president leaves office, he can be tried for a crime he committed while he was president,” said University of Chicago law professor David A. Strauss. “The Constitution itself says that if he’s impeached, convicted and removed from office, he can then be tried for a crime.” https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2021-01-09/trump-criminal-prosecution-after-leaving-office
Your post answers your own question.
PDJT stood trial in the Senate twice and was acquitted twice.
If he is brought up on trial with the same charges, again, that would be double jeopardy. Isn’t that something we are legally protected against?
I also note, with horror, the persecution of those that attended the rally on Jan. 6th. *Extralegal* persecution.
If he didn’t he was a fool.
Which is a big possibility. Rudy is getting older and missing a few steps.
However, I find it interesting that he is still viewed as a big enough threat to take down.
Maybe I’m an idiot but I don’t see the problem with Trump’s hotels increasing their prices for the inauguration.
Lots of people wanted to be there! Simple supply and demand.
The point is as noted in the list in post 10, they are after more than just the supposed insurrection day event.
They are going after Trump, Rudy is just an evidentiary stop along the way. The fact they were not interested in the Biden laptop indicates this is about Trump, again & still.
I will say it again, the entire Trump family needs to enter into exile. I love them, their courage, their bravado, their willingness to call things as they really are...but they are in danger.
Everything you wrote about Trump is hubris.
What I saw last night was pathetic. The clapping was for lie after lie and pathetic.
The world saw a weak vulnerable country
Our country has come to this, ..that country on a hill.. Destroyed by Obama and the socialist dems while the Republicans sit and watch. There is no balm in Gilead...we have lost our way. The enemy does not let up up... Using whatever it takes.. and the resistance is nil.
What I see are lies, fakery and treason.. Which are being ignored by the gov.. All have been corrupted.
In a battle with an enemy, if you are the one playing fair, YOU WILL LOSE!..
If there ever was a time to go to war with the dems and a demonic media... It was in this stolen election. But no one wanted to fight the illegal action of the left. They let an unelected senile old man be seated as President.
It is unbelievable and a total fakery, and yet, they let it happen. From top to bottom in the states, they denied Trump the backing that should have been there. .
I think it is so deep, and so low... So corrupted, that we have waited too long.
Like Paulie in Goodfellas.
It was no coincidence that the SW was done yesterday given the Clown Car show coming up. Watch me over here as I screw you over there.

Or son of the King.
