FBI agents raided the Alexandria home of President Trump’s former campaign chairman late last month, using a search warrant to seize documents and other materials, according to people familiar with the special counsel investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Federal agents appeared at Paul Manafort’s home without advance warning in the predawn hours of July 26, the day after he met voluntarily with the staff for the Senate Intelligence Committee.

The search warrant was wide-ranging and FBI agents working with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III departed the home with various records.

Why wouldnt Trump lower the boom now? Why would he allow all this to go on and continue to mount the public against him and sink his poll numbers into Jimmy Carter or GW Bush territory?

The longer this continues, the more damage is done. We can say the polls are BS all we want, but I dont think they are that far off. Everywhere you go it seems he is hates. The people who support him have to keep quiet to avoid scorn. His truly the most hated president in my lifetime (and I go back to Nixon). If he has eveidence of the 0bama administations guilt, why would he sit on it while the overwhelming majority of Americans think he is the guilty party.

Lower the boom? If hasnt done it by now, he never will.

The Senate never has worked with Trump - was nothing to stop. And even if they get Flynn or Manafort on some unrelated to Russian collusion financial change doesn’t mean its going to impact Trump whatsoever.

This is a guy who communicated through drafts instead of actual sent messages

Of course he would be careful

They need to turn him. Finding something he didnt turn over as required would help.Doesn’t have to be a piece that links him to Semion

Weissmann is a master flipper. He took down a mafia don. They will be looking for anything they can use.

Btw..dont discount that someone could have ratted out manafort as to bank accounts or hidden docs.. Daughter in hot seat with dustin hoffman.

Polls don't matter, only elections. The timing of elections means to have something done by next summer. Obviously the MAGA stuff will have to be done on his own, but he is making amazing strides getting jobs for American workers. The "something else" done by summer will be some prosecutions. Remember that Comey gave immunity to most of Hillary's underlings and that is a huge hurdle.

The boom can't be lowered until there is substantial evidence gathered. The most salient fact about Trump is that he follows the law. He is not going to do banana republic nonsense just because the last admin did it. There will be no filmakers locked up or D'Souza or anyone else. He doesn't do that. People who want perp walks and other theatre are going to have to chill. "Lock her up" is a humorous chant to annoy the media. It may come true some day but only if it is done properly.

Uh-oh. Look where Manafort was! I imagine the cameras will be rolling when they raid Trump Tower. This will be a guilt by association game.

This is why the GOP has stopped working with Trump.

Yep...they hope Mueller will have an indictment of the president by the time they return from recess.

If Manafort has guilty material, and has not already deeply hidden it he is a fool.

"...shall consist only in levying War against them"

What do you think weaponizing the federal gubbermint against the American people is called?

High treason...they are waging war against the American people in complete violation of the Constitution.
