Red State Observer<\/a> is reporting that during the impeachment trial of President Trump in late 2019, the FBI was spying on his Apple iCloud account.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Mr. Giuliani said the U. S. Attorney\u2019s Office in Manhattan on Thursday informed his attorney, Robert Costello, that covert wiretapping took place.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHe asked [the prosecutor] to repeat it because he couldn\u2019t believe it was true,\u201d Mr. Giuliani said this week on the \u201cRita Cosby Show\u201d on WABC radio in New York. \u201cTo me they just trashed the president of the United States.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Giuliani, once the mob-fighting top prosecutor in New York and then the city\u2019s 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article quotes The Washington Times<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t fathom that would be done to an ordinary citizen,\u201d he said. \u201cThe president doesn\u2019t have any more rights than anybody else, but he doesn\u2019t have any less. To me, they just trashed the president of the United States like he has no constitutional rights.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Giuliani said he conducted many conversations with the president that presumably could be retrieved off of iCloud \u2014 a backup cyber storage system for emails, texts, documents, photos \u2014 just about anything contained on personal devices such as cellphones and computers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cUnless these people have no ethics or any sense of what it means to be a lawyer, what you do when you do that, people who listen to this now say how can I trust talking to my lawyer,\u201d he said. \u201cThe government may come in and start listening to it or might try to see text of memoranda.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Giuliani said that after he learned of the iCloud penetration, he notified two Trump attorneys.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI let them know his rights once again have been trashed by what now has to be described as the department of injustice,\u201d Mr. Giuliani said. \u201cIf they can do this to us they can do this to anyone they want to do it to.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

If we have learned nothing else during the past five years, we have learned that the Washington swamp is deep and wide. It is unfortunate that President Trump was not able to drain more of it than he did. Hopefully he will get another chance in the future. Meanwhile we have a politicized justice department that is willing to turn its head when laws are broken by its political allies and to violate the civil rights of those who hold different political beliefs.<\/p>\n
