Rudolph W. Giuliani says that the FBI secretly spied on his Apple iCloud account beginning in late 2019 when he was having regular messaging conversations with his client, President Trump, during House impeachment proceedings.
Mr. Giuliani said the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan on Thursday informed his attorney, Robert Costello, that covert wiretapping took place.
Mr. Giuliani, once the mob-fighting top prosecutor in New York and then the city’s mayor, said an assistant U.S. attorney made the disclosure because the operation will have to be detailed in court. The penetration happened under the Trump administration and then-Attorney General William P. Barr and was carried out by the U.S. Southern District of New York. It prosecuted former Trump attorney Michael Cohen on tax charges.
The FBI raided Mr. Giuliani’s New York apartment and law office on Wednesday morning, grabbing seven to nine electronic communication and storage devices. The search warrant said he is suspected of violating the U.S. Foreign Agents Registration Act by allegedly representing a Ukrainian official in dealings with the U.S. government and not filing as an agent. Mr. Giuliani said he never acted as an agent with any of his Ukrainian contacts as he investigated the Biden family.
“Meanwhile, the Justice Department, while I’m defending him on that with others, invaded my iCloud,” Mr. Giuliani said.
“I can’t fathom that would be done to an ordinary citizen,” he said. “The president doesn’t have any more rights than anybody else, but he doesn’t have any less. To me, they just trashed the president of the United States like he has no constitutional rights.”

Because “Russians”.
What judge has the authority to authorize a search of POTUS private communications with his lawyer?
No judge has that authority.
Therefore we must conclude they didn’t even have a warrant.
100% agree.
Bingo.
The FBI has achieved the infamy it has so long sought. It now shares the hall of shame with the NKVD,Geheime Staatspolizei, Stasi, and KGB.
There was no warrant. The DOJ/FBI is still using the FISA database illegally.
Until the contractors and DOJ/FBI personnel who broke Federal law in accessing this information are prosecuted and jailed, it will not stop.
And nobody employed there should ever be eligible for government employment in any capacity ever again.
This is outrageous.
No form of depravity from Rat Party Headquarters,and their disciples,surprises me. It’s time for secession,folks. The United States of America is a failed experiment.
Rat Party HQ? We are talking about 2019. GOP DOJ. GOP SCOTUS CJ. GOP Senate. The enemy is inside the wire.
There’s more and more talk of secession.
First, a convention of states, to reclaim the Tenth Amendment as sacrosanct.
Pompeo was famously in on the leaked Trump - GA GOP call while VP Pence was AWOL. I found that very odd. What the heck is the SOS doing on that call when the VP wasn’t? I suppose he was just about the only loyal cabinet member Trump had.
Why would anybody communicate sensitive/private information electronically to any other person or party?
Everybody should know (at least by now) that these communications can be tapped by bad actors, INCLUDING THE GOVERNMENT any time they want them!
True I am sure, The FBI response , so what.
Or start coming to unexpected bad ends from multiple independent actors.
How many ways can Giuliani sue the FBI, DA Cyrus Vance Jr.’s corrupt Manhattan Office and practices, etc?
Barr was a swamp creature along with all the other so called Attorney Generals that Trump had appointed or approved. There were so horrible fascistic shenanigans going on with both the FBI and the DOJ throughout the Trump years.
Trump bneeded a fore breather AG, one who would follow the Constitution as written. Instad he god treasonous assholes for AGs.
Next time its not going to happen.
Obama (and his soros minions) is on his fourth term. He ran a shadow government via cia fbi and the bureaucracy during Trump’s tenure that hamstrung it. This is very dangerous.
Surprise! The fbi is the private army for the democrat party, funded by forced taxes on the US citizens.
Rat Party plants. It matters not who’s in charge at the DOJ...a huge majority (90% or more) of employees at the DOJ are rabid Rat Party supporters.
It really is time to Abolish the FBI and Banish the whole bunch to Cuba or Syria
When it takes 32 FBI agents to serve a warrant on a 76 year old man, you know you’ve go problems.
