RUDY Giuliani claimed the FBI turned down taking Hunter Biden's hard drives three times while they raided his home.
Giuliani made the comments during an appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Thursday, a day after the FBI raided his home with a warrant to seize electronics.
"The agents seemed somewhat apologetic, I might say," Giuliani said.
"They were very, very professional and very gentlemanly. The only time they got perturbed is at the end of the search, when they had taken about seven or eight electronic items of mine ... they weren't taking the three hard drives."
Giuliani continued to allege that he told the agents searching his home that the hard drives came from a laptop that belonged to Hunter Biden, and asked if they wanted them, to which, according to Giuliani, they said, "no, no, no, no."
"I said, 'Are you sure you don't want them?' The warrant required them to take it," Giuliani continued. "And they said no."
"Now, Hunter Biden's hard drives fall within the scope of the subpoena. The subpoena required them to take all electronics, but they decided to leave that behind," he added.
The comments Giuliani made during the interview mimicked comments his lawyer, Robert Costello, made in a statement released on Thursday.
Costello accused the Justice Department under the Biden administration of perpetuating a double standard and of ignoring "clear evidence" of wrongdoing by prominent Democrats, including President Joe Biden's family.
"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 Biden Crime family taking millions and millions in bribes to sell his public offices," Costello wrote.
"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."
On Wednesday, federal investigators turned up at Giuliani's home and seized his electronic devices, according to the New York Times.
Giuliani, who served as NYC mayor from 1994 until 2001 and was former President Donald Trump's personal attorney, has denied any wrongdoing.
The United States Attorney’s office in Manhattan and the FBI had reportedly been trying to obtain search warrants for Giuliani's electronics for months.
Obtaining the warrant marks a step up in the criminal investigation into Giuliani's dealings with Ukraine and into whether he broke any lobbying laws while working for Trump.
Trump stuck up for Giuliani during an appearance on Fox on Thursday morning, mimicking the "double standard" comments.
"Rudy Giuliani is a great patriot, he does these things, he just loves this country, and they raid his apartment," Trump said.
"It’s like, so unfair, and such a double standard."
this is sooooo disgusting.

Thanks!........................
Benedict Biden: That’s his name!
Destroying America: That’s his game!!
Three months in office and Biden has fundamentally transformed the DOJ into his personal political enforcement agency.
Dan Bongino has often said there are still good FBI agents but asked a couple of days ago, “Where are you?” It looks to all the world that the FBI is a criminal organization and that is all it is.
The Daily Mail unveiled contents of Hunter’s the laptop that go well beyond the emails first reported by the New York Post in October 2020 detailing Hunter’s lucrative overseas business deals that helped him lead a drug-addled lifestyle, with prostitutes, luxurious cars, porn and all the drugs he could ever inhale.
Ultimately, Hunter’s lifestyle left him broke, unable to support his drug and prostitute habit and support his family.
The Daily Mail summarized its long bombshell report, noting:
<><> Hunter Biden’s wild spending left him with huge debts to credit card companies and desperate to avoid jail for unpaid taxes.
<><> There are pictures, documents, emails and texts from Hunter’s laptop
<><> they reveal he spent thousands of dollars on strippers and prostitutes, luxury cars and designer clothing for himself;
<><> Biden got so desperate for money, he even threatened to take $20,000 out of his daughter’s education savings account.
<><> Pictures found on the laptop show what appears to be thousands of dollars worth of crack bagged up on a scale, and Hunter naked and in bed with women
<><>The numerous expenses left him strapped for cash when it came to supporting his new family.
<><> In an April 2017 email, [Hunter’s company] Rosemont Seneca Vice President wrote to Hunter detailing how he faced total bills of $476,231.60,
<><> including $60,467 on three credit cards and $320,417.85 in unpaid federal taxes
<><> In 2019, the FBI seized the laptop in connection to a money-laundering scheme. Last December, Hunter and his then-president-elect father admitted that the U.S. Attorney in Delaware was investigating the younger Biden over his federal taxes.
<><> Hunter reportedly made between $50,000 and $100,000 monthly working for corruption-linked Ukrainian gas conglomerate Burisma between 2014 and 2019, helping him fill his coffers with at least $6,070,150 from 2013 to 2016, the Daily Mail found.
<><> Nevertheless, the news outlet noted, “Leaked emails reveal how Hunter Biden was desperate to avoid jail for unpaid taxes – after blowing hundreds of thousands of dollars on luxury cars, prostitutes, drugs, and designer clothing.”
<><> According to the documents obtained by the Daily Mail, Hunter kept a 2014 Porsche, an Audi, a 2018 Ford Raptor Truck, an $80,000 boat, a Range Rover, Land Rover, BMW, and Chevrolet Truck.
He also spent thousands of dollars on strippers – including one who had his child – suspected prostitutes, and massive amounts of crack.
Hunter told an Arkansas judge he could not pay child support for the child he fathered with stripper Lunden Roberts, even as he rented a
The Daily Mail noted:
The bombshell cache of 103,000 text messages, 154,000 emails, more than 2,000 photos, and dozens of videos from Hunter’s laptop and authenticated by experts retained by DailyMail.com are packed with revelations conveniently missing from his newly published memoir, Beautiful Things.
<><> The pictures, documents, emails, and texts reveal that despite reporting more than $6 million of income from 2013 to 2016, Hunter’s bacchanalian expenses left him with huge debts to credit card companies and the tax man.
<><> Some of the pictures show Hunter half nude, with only a bathrobe on like the late Hugh Hefner from the Playboy mansion, only instead of a cigar, Hunter is reportedly shown smoking what appears to be a crack pipe.
<><> Other pictures found on his laptop show what appears to be thousands of dollars worth of crack on a Cheech and Chong branded scale and Hunter naked and in bed with likely prostitutes.
Like most drug addicts, Hunter sunk low, threatening to take money from his daughter’s education savings account.
The walls began to close in as his business dealings, described as shady by critics, came under the microscope of conservative media outlets such as Breitbart News. At the same time, the Democrat-allied mainstream outlets ignored Hunter’s overseas deals.
Although his money situation reportedly appeared to substantially improve in 2020, allowing him to pay the District of Columbia a $453,890 tax bill just six days after it was issued, that did not last long.
Hunter was unable to keep his high roller lifestyle and support his family on over a half a million dollar a year salary, and he had to borrow money from one of his companies to keep himself solvent, Eric Schwerin, the president of Hunter’s company Rosemont Seneca, reportedly wrote in an email in January 2017,
“As his finances descended into disarray and his assistants begged him to pay his mounting bills, the President’s son lashed out threatening to cut staff pay, take money from his daughter’s educational savings, and complained about his alimony bills,” the Daily Mail noted:
<><> In October 2018 email from Hunter’s accountant shows that by that year his tax debt had ballooned to an eye-watering $804,000,
<><> including $600,000 in personal taxes and $204,000 for one of his businesses that received money from Ukrainian Burisma,
<><> a $12,000 per month home in the Hollywood hills and was driving a Porsche Panamera at the time.
Ultimately, he settled the case with baby mama Roberts out of court after the judge ordered him to produce his financial records.
There's now a market for stickers that say "Property of Hunter Biden".
Why not label every server in the company?
Somehow I am not comforted by “gentlemanly” federal gestapo agents.

The reek of propagandistic writing is strong. What’s up with the use of “mimics” in this story. The proper term would be “repeat” or “reiterate”, but of course using “mimic” diminishes it as “mimic” implies something false, imitative, or dismissive.
Or say it belonged to Hillary or Swallwell’s Chinese spy. They have become the Keystone Cops.
