'The Five' react to raid on Rudy Giuliani's home

rudy giuliani's manhattan apartment raided by federal agents today seven fbi agents carrying out a search warrant at the former new york city mayor's home they seized his electronic devices the feds have been focused on giuliani's business dealings in ukraine during the trump presidency giuliani's attorney telling fox news his client quote didn't do anything wrong and quote that lawyer also sang and here again i quote 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 end quote and giuliani's son andrew giving this statement i'm speaking as a son and a concerned american anybody any american whether you're red or blue should be extremely disturbed by what happened here today by the continued politicization of the justice department this is disgusting this is absolutely absurd the only piece of evidence that they did not take up there today was the only piece of incriminating evidence that is in there and it does not belong to my father it belongs to the current president's son that's all i have to say katie as you just heard from andrew giuliani that there's this he he's making this out to be a political attack on his dad but rudy giuliani was under investigation before president biden came into office jansaki the press secretary said today there is no politics involved what do you think well i would say that the department of justice and the fbi have zero credibility when it comes to pushing back on allegations of political targeting you'll remember under the obama administration where president joe biden now was the vice president they went after conservatives through the irs the fbi during president trump's first run for the white house in 2016 was using information from hillary clinton's campaign from a foreign spy to open up and to validate investigations against people who were working in the trump campaign so i think they have a valid argument when they say we're very concerned here about political targeting now that joe biden is in charge of the the justice department and the other question is where's the the equal application of the law here when they bring up hunter biden hunter biden openly worked for a ukrainian gas company and never registered as a foreign agent hunter biden lied on a federal background check form for a firearm that's a felony hasn't really been charged or looked into as far as we know so there should be a standard of equality under the law and we've seen the fbi and the doj use their power to go after political opponents of the democrats time and time again so brian uh as we all know rudy giuliani was the was president trump's personal lawyer now this investigation the general investigation centered on their efforts to dig up dirt negative information on then candidate biden do you anticipate that this signals there going to be charges filed soon against giuliani a couple of things i mean we are indeed indicating and he's seeing andy mccarthy today they say you can't obtain a search warrant unless you need to unless investigators persuaded the judge that they had sufficient reason to believe a crime was committed and they were going to get evidence so after two hours seven agents and waking him up at six uh six in the morning they think they got something what andrew was referring to was uh the laptop of hunter biden why is the government not curious about the laptop this has been a what a two-year investigation into a laptop that according to the excerpts i've seen in the new york post uh it's pretty extraordinary uh it's pretty extraordinary i don't know how much how long you need to study some of those photos and some of that into that exchange but it's going to be interesting they want to focus on the oligarchs and what he might have done for the oligarchs in relation to a investigation for donald trump to find out what joe biden may have been involved with or the biden family within the ukraine so it's back to the future from two years ago to go after a lawyer as if there's nothing else in new york to go after rudy giuliani as opposed to the years with the clinton foundation in new york where no one was curious where all that money went and i just wonder if you're on that laptop and you see something about private communications with the president united states if that's something there that they're going to follow are they going to go through the main artery and then go down the veins in order to go around the bend to go get donald trump that's what i'm uh that's what i think the the focus is i think it's all about the former president okay so dana you have two of uh giuliani's associates lev parnus igor fruman they have been charged with campaign finance violations they pled not guilty they go to trial in october so if this seems separate this is about not registering as a foreign agent what do you make of this well you know i worked at doj for about a year in 2001 to 2002 and one of the things i learned was 101 ways to say no comment and i think what happens when you have a situation like this rudy giuliani seems to have a pretty good lawyer because giuliani's initial instinct was to make a statement at three o'clock do his radio show and right before that was to take place they pulled it back and i think that that is probably smart because even though you want to try to win a news cycle um you have a good lawyer there that's advising you and i think the process is going to be slow these these wheels turn very slowly and i understand what his son is saying and and the points about hunter biden are also well taken uh merrick garland might have to answer to this um you know if he's uh called up for testimony but what i can imagine is that unless somebody's leaking something uh there will be no comment out of the justice department on this um and probably not from rudy giuliani himself either so jesse there when president trump was impeached the first time it was on the basis of putting pressure on the ukrainian president to get negative information on biden and i think we're just running in a circle here or back to that incident what do you make of this i think i speak for everybody on the show when i say this rudy giuliani is a national treasure don't disagree i speak for everyone on the show when i say this the guy took on the mob he took on crime al-qaeda counselor to the president and now democratic prosecutors want to lock up a 76-year-old icon for a lobbying technicality one because he advised the president that he should fire a rotten ambassador you'd have to register to lobby for that hunter biden advised his dad to fire a prosecutor did he register where's the raid on hunter's house i bet you find some nasty stuff on that raid and one did rudy giuliani steal any money did he hurt anybody did he engage in treason no none of that happened this is something he was talking to the federal prosecutors for months about and they say we'll give you what you want but we're not turning over private communications between rudy and the president that's attorney-client privilege and that's sacred everybody should respect that so what the prosecutors do they just raided the guy's house you're not disturbed by the pattern that two trump lawyers have their homes rated the campaign manager has his home rated another confidant has his own rate you're not disturbed by that pattern the fact that democrat prosecutors are waging political warfare for the benefit of the democratic party just to purge trump because he challenged the system i mean that should scare everybody juan this is a this is a thin predicate and everybody knows it okay we heard you we hear you jesse
