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.
The injustice department and the SDNY and most states AGs plus the complete judicial system is proof we have no constitution and lady justice took her blindfold off yrs ago.
I think Lady Justice is on a beach somewhere, under a palm tree, sipping drinks with paper umbrellas in them. She’s likely under COVID quarantine.
With her “beach friends”
I would love to see just a single journalist ambush interview Blasely-Ford in public on Video and see if she still affects that waify child victim voice and glottal fry.
There were audios out during the Kavanaugh hearings with her recorded during class…..she sounds nothing like that in normal speech
You stole my comment! 🙂
That’s way too pleasant an image.
‘Lady Justice’ as it were was murdered in broad daylight in the middle of a busy street with her blindfold which was used as a garrote around her neck to slowly but surely suffocate her to death, and her ‘Scale of Justice’ was tossed in the gutter like a useless piece of insignificant and u worthy trash.
And nobody stopped to help her.
Maybe Lady Justice had a sex change operation and wants to run for Governor of California. Sexual identity crisis can be very traumatic and distract from ones core task of providing blind justice.
Ding, ding, ding!! Winner, winner, chicken dinner! Best and funniest comment of the day!!!
This is precisely what happens when an incoming president does not do what is expected of him when he gets in office and that is to clean house! The pathetic thing about that is the vast majority of lemmings still want this clown around for another four years. We’ve learned absolutely nothing.
Will CW2 be televised? Should be starting any minute now.
Democratic USSA stalinists in action.
Why are Hunter, Joe, Hillary, Bill, etc not in prison?
The stazi are trying to secure all copies of Hunter Biden’s laptop hard drive.
Look for raids on anyone associated with the “big guys” son’s laptop hard drive.
Except they took all of Rudy’s devices EXCEPT the Hunter laptop. This is about smearing Rudy not investigating Bidens.
That’s only so they can continue to pretend not to know.
This is about getting info on President Trump.
Isn’t Andrew Giuliani (Rudy’s son) planning on running for governor NY? ?
The only time I saw our national symbol up close and personal was outside Tunica , where he/it was feasting on road kill.
Ben Franklin wanted our national symbol to be the wild turkey, with which I concur on several levels.
Presently, given our apparent helplessness, A beached whale would be more appropriate.
Turkeys are stupid creatures. They’ll stand together in a violent storm and allow themselves to be battered.
They must be Democrats.
They are kicking our ass
Turkeys look up when it is raining, causing them to drown.
Given the parallels, I think our national symbol should be the leech.
This is how the swamp rolls. They attack because they know they have no peril.
Our system is corrupt to the bone.
So true the deep state have no fear, knowing the corrupt leftist msm, big tech and our two tier Justice system will work together to get Rudy convicted and jailed. This is how opposition is taken out in a banana republic with show trials. Stalin perfected the show trial to purge opposition. Looks like the DOJ/FBI/CIA in concert with Lawfare are doing the same. Up next Sidney Powell, Mike Lindell, Lynn Wood then finally the real object of their hatred President Trump!
Did Looootinnnent Colonel Vidddmannnn register as an agent of Ukraine yet ?
Thats a great question and we will surely circle back to that at some point
And now that you bring it up… was Hunter Biden registered as an agent of PRC since he was such a close associate of PRC spy chief according to what we heard from Bobulinski months ago?
Will some reported shout at Biden to ask whether his son should be prosecuted for LYING on a gun background check as Joe is SOOOOOOOOO against loopholes and wants tougher background checks. Get it on record what his response is.
Seeing that our Sr Defense Department Military Attaché Col Brittany Stewart was recently, this month, photographed in the Donbass with Right Sector wearing a Ukraine or Die patch upon her arm under the Ukrainian flag and saluting Vasily Slipak’s grave nobody should be surprised. These are actual National Socialisists.
Correction….that would be “Lt Col Fatass”
Outrageous. Rudy is a bona fide American hero and was a real prosecutor, not a political hitman like today’s US Attorneys. Trump should have issued a blanket pardon before leaving office. It was always too much to hope that the Biden DOJ wouldn’t go full Nazi.
It’s an uphill battle now. 0bama has consolidated his power. He runs the WH, Senate, House, SCOTUS, DOJ. It took 60-70 years to bring the Soviet Union down.
Obama is middle management. The CCP is the CEO.
At best.
Barrack is a poster boy.
He’s in it for the money.
Not Obama. Look further into the shadows of our IC and internationally. Obama was just a younger prop like old Joe. He’s not smart enough.

Strange alright.
Now that IS a coincidence, isn’t it?
“There are no coincidences in politics.” ~ FDR
Like Raheem Kassan just said on War Room, we don’t play hardball right back. He pointed to how the FBI as much as said, “Nah, we’re not really interested in the Hard Drive from Hell; we want to know what Rudy was doing with blah, blah, blah.”
How do we take down entire institutions that must be demolished before they can be rebuilt?
There is only one way and that’s by taking down the top. But the top can’t be taken down if the judiciary is in on all of it or afraid of their own shadows.
Some people with huge mics have to tell the Dirty and more than just a few others like Rudy have to chime in or else the few who do are marginalized as crazy and old and alcoholic.
Great scene for a movie: the Good Guys bust into the LIVE nightly news casts of ABC, CBS, NBC one night and for 30 minutes tell the nation of the corrupt state of things while the hostages of anchors and producers and staff are unharmed locked up in a coat closet or something.
Straight out the movie Network we need truthtellers who let it all hang loose: “I’m mad as hell and I’m night going to take it anymore.”
An “interruption” of tonight’s fake State of the Union Address would be apropos.
Feds Seeking Communications Between Giuliani and John Solomon,\ Also Served Warrant On Victoria Toensing
We all know how to take it down. Just need the will
“How do we take down entire institutions that must be demolished before they can be rebuilt”…….Hmmmmm, that answer is simple???
We are the Swampian Union now.
I long for the day when FBI employees are as loathed as child rapists–with communities collectively acting on that emotion.
BTW, is it just me, or do others think Mike Lindell is being set up by Jimmy Kimmel tonight? That Kimmel is the media-appointed late night host to make him out to be a guy who has escaped from the looney bin?
Lindell wants publicity for his new platform Frank since he’s been ignored by every other show, but man, I think he should NOt do this.
It’s planned and Lindell, much as I respect him, is an emotional guy who sometimes gets the stutters.
No conservative should ever appear on any late night show, anything on CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC.
i will never understand why they do. There is no upside. None.
EXACTLY. Our people don’t even watch those shows.
Also, I think that there has been technical trouble with the Frank speech platform.
Brave but ill advised.
Mike Lindell is being set up be Mary Fanning and Dennis Montgomery and that will be used by “everyone” to dispell any and all evidence of Elections and voter fraud.
In my opinion
Interesting statement Molly Reed. Curious to know why you think Mary and Dennis are setting up Mike? Can you point us to a link to substantiate this statement?
She clearly states it is her opinion in her post. I agree with her and think it is common sense to assume it at this point.
Yes. First, Larry Johnson has written extensively upon the issue including at the Gateway Pundint. He has also appeared in several spoken interviews in which Dennis Montgomery is discussed. Second, there are many inconsistencies with the “hammer and scorecard” story over many hours of interviews to which I have listened. The first interview that made me take notice was the one Mary Fanning was on with Crowdsource the Truth. It is worth a listen, she cannot answer basic questions about the FBI, or lack there of, signatures for evidence chain of custody. Dennis Montgomery will not make a credible witness in a court of law. The datum relied upon is not credible And will not stand in a court of law.
I like Mike Lindell but this is some dangerous stuff in my opinion. There is so much true information that we do not need Dennis Montgomery.
My dad used to tell me this and I have never forgot it: Never play another man’s game.
Lindell cannot prepare for or negotiate a rigged game. House rules are house rules.
FrANK IS A FLOP. The young ones need to like it……
See what happens when you have a good AG?
Come to mention it, I wonder what Bill Barr is up to these days?
Watch “Going to the Mattresses” on YouTube
I have been thinking.. The day is fast approaching when one will have to turn to the neighborhood godfather or the local vigilance committee for justice.
You nailed it.
Sadly…
When the Civil War arrives, if ever it does, the people on the Hill with an R by their names should remember that the people who are supposed to be on your side but aren’t are the ones who will face the fiercest wrath.
Suckerburg, Jack, YouTube — who censored and took away Patriots’ voices, starting with the Real President – will face great wrath. They will need to relocate to secluded islands outside the USA.
Time for every columnist with even a smidgen of conservative leanings to attack the COURTS OF THIS LAND.
That would be nice. Every Democommunist media outlet echoes the same talking points EVERYDAY. It would be nice if conservative media could get together once, put egos aside, and push, for example, one of Sundance’s themes on their web sites, Twitter, blogs, etc.
Rudy isn’t stupid. I’m quite sure he expected something like this. If he wasn’t prepared I’d be shocked. I predicted this so I’m sure he did too.
How do you insert evidence into the legal system?
Relax.
Just the tribe twisting the throttle, to remind us sheep, who really runs the red, white and not you.
As I’ve said a hundred times — just wrap your head around this — the FBI-CIA-DOJ, for decades, were fully aware, that Epstein and Maxwell, were running a pedophile/blackmail operation, out of a mansion, in the heart of NYC, for a foreign entity, to fully control our elected officials…who could then “earn” promotion to the top spots.
Just chew on that and know now & tomorrow, how fully captured the flag & our future have become.
This is all about the Arizona audit bringing HELL like no other down on the dems. Georgia next then Mich. Wis. and Penn. Supreme court by fall. Joe in NOT the President. Not about Rudy this is about Trump returning again. Their worst nightmare.
The left is running their own version of the KGB.
Don’t forget, the FARA gimmick also satisfies all the requirements for a FISA warrant,i.e., acting on behalf of a foreign government with a violation of U.S. law….this means they have probably obtained all of the Rudy/Trump attorney client communications – Is this an effort to incriminate Trump as a co-conspirator, we will just have to wait and see – I’ve got a real bad feeling about this one – wheels within wheels….
And when they don’t have any details they will just make them up. Commies gonna commie.
We really don’t have a country anymore.
Remember, this was started under Barr, one of the greatest traitors ever to work at DOJ.
Gasbag was doing nothing got rewarded and paid by writing a book.
I blame Mitch McConnell
The Viceroy of Ukraine is back in power. People need to realize this is way more than Hunter’s laptop.
Hmm…. Viceroy of Ukraine huh?
I wonder if all of them in the district of corruption have foreign sponsors akin to how all of those Noosecar drivers have corporate logos plastered all over their cars.
Several have listed things they believe the cabal is trying to distract from by going full Gestapo this way.
But I think it’s pretty clear what it is: the Arizona audit.
Rudy has greatly involved in the initial hearings there (he was, right? unless my memory is going again…).
Discrediting him right now, IMHO, is a desperation move to make his actions there somehow illegitimate, or at least seem so.
They will be throwing all sorts of nasty spoiled spaghetti against the wall in every possible attempt to stop or derail this audit.
Rudy is probably an item that was on the list to use up time until their Antifa and BLM brown shirts get to the right town to start firebombing.
I realize that they are trying to muddy the waters by a public announcement that they are seizing his computers as part of a “criminal investigation” , but smearing Rudy in a leaked report is going to be widely perceived as harassments under cover of authority even if it cannot be prosecuted in the court that gave the DoJ a search warrant. It is a shot across Rudy’s bow for getting involved in the many many investigations into the 2020 election. This is not our values as a country of laws; it is a perversion of the law by using it to gain some political cover or advantage.
Some honest people in the DOJ and the American Bar have to stop this or we will have the government intel and legal arms completely politicized.
There are no honest people in the DOJ or anywhere else for that matter that will stop this. We should know that by now.
I couldn’t agree more that that’s what Should happen but I fear it’s too late. I kept thinking that “the good people at (Fill in the blank.)” would surely resist this attack on our Constitution but I’m still waiting. I also kept thinking that Surely there’s someone on the other side who can see the damage the Left is doing to this country and will stand up and do the right thing. I’m still waiting.
After watching the intel and DOJ corruption over the last four plus years – when people can see there is no equality under the law – and voting is rigged on a massive scale – with a press that’s an arm of the Left – we’re in Banana Republic territory.
It’s ugly, it’s dangerous and I am frustrated beyond measure. This attack on Giuliani is political and outrageous.
I suggest that we each get t-shirts printed that read the following – and we wear them in public:
do not ignore
political persecution
by your Government
Washington DC is the
District of Corruption
these Nazis and their
Gestapo could be
coming for you next
Too long.
I suggest the following:
DC is our enemy
Perfect!
The phrasing I’ve been using Max is similar to yours – DC is at War with the Country.
As a resident of Manhattan, I am just so ashamed of these Manhattan federal officials and everyone else involved.
Words fail me.
no matter
words mean nothing
Why are these corrupt officials still walking around and breathing the same air
They also probably want to know who in Ukraine was helping Rudy. It’s all about punishment all the way around and burying it all.
They’re still after PDJT allies!
This ain’t theatre, there out for revenge! Rudy move to a no extradition nation. No one will blame you!
Good idea for Rudy to consider!
The SDNY seems to be a particularly zealous arm of the now politically weaponized DOJ. A judge had to have good cause to approve the warrant and we know that the FBI creates “good cause” out of whole cloth after what we witnessed with the weissman probe. We know the SDNY is obsessed with nailing PDJT with something…..anything. Guiliani is merely the next figure in Trumpworld to get “the DOJ treatment”. Until one of these b@stards at DOJ is sent to prison and their life ruined these weissman thugs will continue there political hir jobs in plain sight. The media wont do its job….heck its complicit and part of the FBIs m o.
If Giuliani doesn’t have his act together (wiped, like with a cloth?), I can’t feel sorry for him.
Doesn’t matter, they can put anything on his systems and frame him. SDNY is the dirt.
Snowden warned us.
Definitely political harrassment from the fbi and doj. Why John Kerry has not been arrested for fara violation?
It’s only going to get worse – unless we support folks like Mike Lindell and get the genuine 2020 election results revealed and instituted.
The Biden-Harris Junta is a puppet regime of the CCP, installed via a color revolution, not elected. The Communists are now targeting “enemies of the state” – it’s what they do. Giuliani, Toensing, Kash Patel, Oath Keepers. More will follow if the Biden-Harris Junta is allowed to remain in power.
Those fixated on the 2022 midterms are delusional – the Commies realize that they need to cement their coup and power before then. And they’re proceeding with all deliberate speed, aided by enemies domestic and the acquiescence of the Republican Party (and say more like willingly serving as accessories to the crime).
My friends, we need to have a very serious conversation about what we’re doing and how we’re going to fight this.
This always ends the same.
Agree! How can Treepers get organized?

The Feds have gone crazy.
“Rudy … has been there, done that.” Hell, he ran a prison. He ran New York City, and he did a damned good job of it. ?
America is a police state. What has happened to us? America is a police state.
KGB must be proud of our injustice department. An other sad day.
According to the Gateway Pundit they took ALL electronic devices and equipment EXCEPT copies of the hard drives of Hunter Biden’s laptop. That says it all I think !!
Fairly sure they’ve already received that data, but I know what you mean.
After how Obama terms were run I hope Rudy and anyone else that fought and continue to fight the good fight were prepared for this crap and nothing was left to chance.
Release the Kraken already for crying out loud.
Wrong thread
This is the most criminal , disgustingly evil administration that have ever been in office. Fairness is only given to this satanic party. This evil party working to have all Americans fighting and killing each other. Karma is a bitch and satan will welcome them with flaming arms.
Totalitarian tactics by a totalitarian state.
Is anyone else getting very afraid now?
