It reportedly is part of an investigation into alleged lobbying activities by Giuliani in Ukraine, where he was investigating why Hunter Biden received $83,000 a month from a corrupt Ukrainian energy company while his father was vice president.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But this is no way to treat the mayor who pulled New York out of its descent into disorder in the 1990s. It\u2019s no way to treat the courageous US attorney for Manhattan who brought down the mob in the 1980s. And it\u2019s no way to treat the former personal lawyer to a president.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What the hell is going on ?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn banana republics, in . . . many parts of the world, when a candidate loses for president, they go after the candidate, they go after his lawyers, they go after his friends,\u201d Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz told radio host John Catsimatidis on Sunday. \u201cThat\u2019s h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ening in America now.

On the surface, at least, it looks to be a continuation of the witch hunt conducted by the FBI against Trump and his associates even before he took office, hobbling his presidency and emboldening his political adversaries.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What makes it even more perplexing is that the attorney\u2019s office for the Southern District has so prided itself on its independence from political interference, that it has been dubbed the \u201cSovereign District of New York.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It is where Giuliani successfully prosecuted the five families of the New York Mafia and survived a mob contract on his life. It is where he brought down Wall Street untouchables such as Ivan Boesky and Michael Milken. The office was Giuliani and Giuliani was the office.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>No doubt he hasn\u2019t won friends at his old workplace by saying they are jealous of him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But that doesn\u2019t explain such an ostentatious show of force over what reportedly are allegations of technical violations of an 80-year-old statute, the Foreign Agents Registration Act, that rarely was enforced until the advent of Trump. It was used against Trump\u2019s former campaign chair, Paul Manafort, and his former national security adviser, Gen. Mike Flynn, and now it seems it is being deployed against Giuliani.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump\" class=\"wp-image-18133429 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/giuliani.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/giuliani.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/giuliani.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/giuliani.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/giuliani.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Trump\u2019s enemies believe he is the true target of the raid on Rudy Giuliani\u2019s apartment.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">REUTERS\/Carlo Allegri\/File Photo<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Considering the evidence of multiple alleged FARA violations on the laptop Hunter Biden abandoned at a repair shop in 2019 \u2014 which has been in the hands of the FBI for more than a year \u2014 it\u2019s no wonder Costello points to a \u201ccorrupt double standard.\u201d No dawn raids on any Biden family homes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s enemies have no doubt that the ultimate target is Trump.

South Dakota, a den of white Republicans, by contrast has 35.8 percent of its population fully vaccinated, even though, arguably, rural people are not at as great a risk as those in dense cities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"President Joe Biden puts his face mask on after speaking to a joint session of Congress Wednesday, April 28, 2021\" class=\"wp-image-18133399 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/biden-mask.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/biden-mask.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/biden-mask.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/biden-mask.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/biden-mask.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>President Joe Biden puts his face mask on after speaking to a joint session of Congress Wednesday, April 28, 2021.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP Photo\/Andrew Harnik, Pool<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The majority of blacks are Democrat voters, and the majority of whites vote Republican. Yet whites are lining up for anti- COVID-19 shots at a far higher rate than any other racial group, with CDC figures showing 67.2 percent of white non-Hispanics fully vaccinated, while comprising 61.2 percent of the population. Only 8.5 percent of black non-Hispanics are vaccinated while comprising 12.5 percent of the population.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>None of this analysis is useful. But nor is falsely blaming Republicans going to get more shots into arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What would help is if President Biden and Dr. Anthony Fauci and other high-profile Democrats who have been fully vaccinated would simply follow CDC advice and dispense with masks outdoors and when they are with other vaccinated people.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Instead, they still wear masks everywhere and Biden flies into a panic every time he mislays his face covering. They are sending a message at odds with the vaccination imperative.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The prospect of resuming a normal life is the only incentive to get vaccinated.
