Washington Post: Giuliani Disregarded U.S. Intel Fears That He Was Being Manipulated By Russians

Rudy Giuliani was given a so-called “defensive“ briefing by the FBI in 2019 in which agents warned him he was being targeted by a Russian intelligence influence operation as he sought to gather opposition research on the Biden family, according to a source familiar with the matter.

    1. @HS lol A magical 30yr-old laptop with a full accounting of every crime known to man on it. Yeah. I mean… who *_WOULDN’T_* believe you?

    2. Important Announcement…

      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.

    3. @Tony Smith Sounds like you “woke” this morning and found the new right wingnut buzz word! What an accomplishment 👏

  1. Rudy ignored his own country’s intel, mocks the FBI’s search warrant, but he believes everything the enemy fed him 😂🤦‍♂️

    1. @HS Congrats, you are the winner of the “Fake News” prize for today, Comrade. I understand that you aren’t that bright, but how could the FBI look at those hard drives when Rudy clearly stated yesterday that they were in his possession? Guess you count on everyone being as uninformed as right wingers? Lmao, too funny, buddy. One more thing Comrade, you also stated the FBI had clear evidence for over a year, but Biden was not in charge until January 20th of this year, which means that trump’s DOJ found nothing to charge Hunter or Joe with in the 8 months that they had this so called evidence. We don’t care how stupid you are, just don’t assume the rest of us share your lack of critical thinking skills. Disinformation only works on folks who want to believe, just like religion.

    2. DOJ CORRUPTION UNCOVERED

      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 behaviour 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.

  2. Russian intelligence: If Rudy is dumb enough to jump in the sack with his cousin, imagine what we can make him do.

  3. Rudy Giuliani defense will be “I had hair dye in my eyes, so I couldn’t see what crimes I was committing”.

    1. @HS …but, but,but…you forgot Barr looked into it, and had their been a their there….you would have heard about it.

      Keep crying, and pivoting snowflake.

  4. FBI: Why did you let the Russians use you?

    Rudy: They promised me a year’s supply of hair dye.

    2. ​@HS Reported for spam.

      Do you work for Project Veritas? Your fact-free horsesh!t reminds me of them.

    3. @HS Is that the same laptop that team t***p got a mountain of evidence from, which they talked up for months, and then, surprise, they conveniently lost all the files of ‘evidence’ just when they were about to show it? Reminds of Sidney’s mountains of evidence proving voter-machine fraud. That all dematerialised mysteriously on the way to court. Now she says that her claims of election fraud should NOT have been believed by reasonable people! How deep is that rabbit-hole you’re seeking solace in?

    4. The Russians used him for Hunter’s laptop that even Hunter admitted may be his and he is being investigated: AFTER the election of course. 🙃🤡
      Propaganda is a thick loop on MSDNC.

  5. If Guiliani was warned, then ignored the FBI and continued his crusade, that sounds like a Traitor to me!!!

    1. @Tony Smith regime? LOL. SHaddduppppp. Your just another pawn out there trying to keep a dead dream alive. It’s time to move on

    1. So many people are (justifiably) after the police right now but nobody is more evil and ruins more lives than the average prosecutor. They simply have too much power to indict people because they don’t like the color of their t-shirt without any question or consequences.

    2. @The Riff Writer I think you are over simplifying the process. Before the prosecutor even gets the case, so much information is attained through discovery. Unless you have worked in the law, you cannot begin to appreciate all the work that is done before one gets to court.

    3. Rudy has affidavits and court documents out of Ukraine that implicates the Bidens. Why do you think this raid took place?

    4. @Rod More likely they implicate 45 and his administration, but trolls just like have to try and make Biden a crook in place of their false, fools gold idol.

  6. I would happily watch Fox with the sound off just to watch Tucker look like he’s passing a kidney stone.

    1. He has the look of a slack-jawed mouth breather who is confused about the complexity of indoor plumbing.

  7. Daily Reminder: On January 6, 2021, Impeached former President Trump attacked America during a joint session of Congress.

  8. “Rudy who? I don’t know who Rudy is, I have heard the name before, but I don’t know that I have ever met the guy” – DJT

    1. Lol. Won’t fly in this case since there is video of Trump motor boating Rudy in drag. Wish I had not seen that clip. So disturbing.

  9. It is amazing that Rudi Giuliani, a former US prosecutor wants to rewrite the laws regarding how search warrants are obtained and executed. Very pathetic, I would say.

  10. Two or so years ago two Russians had lunch with Rudy at the steak house in Trump’s DC hotel, then they hopped into a cab to Dulles airport where they were arrested by FBI agents. They had one way tickets to Ukraine. Obviously Rudy tipped them off about their impending arrest.

    1. For 2 years MSNBC/CNN talked “Russian collusion” every day. Turns out it was fake news. And you still watch this trash???

  11. Why do the feds have to raid Recount Dracula’s house in the morning? They should know he’s only awake at 12 midnight and goes back before sunrise.

    1. It’s for optics….just like the Roger Stone raid; complete with a CNN crew on hand. Propaganda at its finest.
