As prosecutors bear down on Rudy Giuliani, his legal team has made a decision: take his antics of the past two years and hold them up as a knot prosecutors will have to untangle.
Giulianis attorneys filed a letter on Monday in response to a request by Manhattan federal prosecutors to appoint a special master to oversee evidence gathered after the feds executed search warrants on Giulianis office and home last month. Agents also seized the phone of Victoria Toensing, an attorney who worked with Giuliani as he attempted to gather dirt from Ukraine on Joe Biden.
The former mayor is asking the judge to force prosecutors to give up the affidavits and underlying evidence for the warrants, while Toensing wants materials seized from her, overtly and covertly, returned. Both want the right of first review on any material taken under the warrants before they go to any special master or to the prosecutors.
The request itself is completely out of order, former federal prosecutor Harry Sandick told TPM.
You dont suppress evidence before theres been an indictment, hes taking all the things out of sequence, Sandick said.

(14,742 posts)He's broke by all accounts. But there is likely no shortage of firms that would take him on pro bono. Up to a point.
And lets not forget he could be directed his lawyers on tactics. He does have a fool for a client. He always has fools for clients.
His claim that the evidence should be suppressed because he is famous and has famous clients is equally bizarre.
Hopefully the judge orders a psych review and throws out his requests.
