It appears that all politically-sensitive investigations were not treated equally at the Department of Justice during the final days of the Trump administration

Photo: The Washington Post via Getty Im Investigators from the Southern District of New York were gaining momentum last summer in their inquiry into whether Rudy Giuliani had illegally lobbied the Trump administration on behalf of the Ukrainian interests who aided his search for compromising information on the Biden family.

The stalling tactics largely had to do with the November election. Traditionally, the Department of Justice avoids taking actions in the two months prior to the vote that could significantly affect its outcome. And while the DOJ did observe this period, the Times reports that the department also used it as a rationale not to issue Giuliani a search warrant in the summer, well before the 60-day cutoff.

. Though the DOJ refused to sign off on search warrants for Giuliani after the election, the department did give the go-ahead for federal prosecutors in Delaware to issue subpoenas for an investigation into Hunter Biden’s taxes.

The decision to approve a warrant in the sensitive case was ultimately passed on until President Biden administration took over; to date, it is not known if prosecutors have successfully obtained a warrant in the first four weeks of the new administration.

Gargoyle should fry

Rudy must've been chuckling when he was looking at his own search warrant before he personally tossed it in a bin.

Surprise, surprise, surprise!

How can there not be a 9/11 style commission for the Trump administration? America requires it. This abhorrent 4 years of hell must be studied so every child knows what happens when you elect a conman as president
