Giuliani is Trump’s personal attorney, and the Democrats revealed they obtained some of Giuliani’s phone records in the recent Impeachment Inquiry Report. Some questions:
Did they need a warrant?
Did they have a warrant?
Did it violate attorney client privilege?
Can Trump invoke a “fruit of the poisoned tree” legal manuever?
In what proceeding? Congress is only bound by “legal maneuvers” to the extent that it relies on the courts to do work for it. You can’t go to court to dismiss an impeachment because you think they did it wrong.
Can anyone comment on whether the speech and debate clause would protect a congressional investigation from a lawsuit against a valid subpoena? I mean, on top of the subpoena being presumably valid.
While there are factual questions involved, the OP is so free ranging (and also contains a political jab in the title) I think this is better for Elections.
Trumpers have this desperate need to find that magic bullet that will make this all go away. Newflash: There is not going to be a technicality that causes all of this disappear. I know that accountability for one’s actions is anathema to Republicans in regards to other Republicans, but none of their theories will nullify the corruption and wrongdoing that has been cataloged. They tried this with the Carter Page FISA warrant, the Steele dossier, Mueller’s “conflicts of interest”, the whistleblower speaking to House Intel staffers and being directed to the proper channels to report, now I guess the latest is spying on Giuliani. It’s desperate flailing, that’s all it is.
Well then the voters get the ultimate say. Both for POTUS and for the Senators that abandoned their constitutional duty. If that still isn’t enough, then I guess we live in an authoritarian dictatorship.

Anybody can sue anyone for any reason they want. If Guiliani does so he is unlikely to win. Congress’s subpoena and oversight power is very broad and no privileged information was obtained.
