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.

Manafort is going to get perp walked. Dims want a scalp and he is low hanging fruit. Never mind that his business was involved in UKRAINE and not Russia.

The FBI has become the enforcement arm of the DNC........................

The acts of treason and depravity committed by “The Swamp” over the years must be so heinous that they’re not trying to hide their desperate attempt to get rid of the president. They’re deathly afraid of being exposed and of course they don’t want to lose all the perks and the power that comes with membership in the Deep State.

Last month? Well there you have it.

I am betting Paul had nothing to hide, and if he did, it was long gone.

Either this is fake news or a setup.

Exactly, Manafort has been playing the game since the days of Nixon, if he had ever done anything wrong, he destroyed any paper trail looooonnng before July...

The fact they ignore Hillary and Podesta’s Russian connection

While fulling “investigating” Manafort’s years ago UKRAINIAN connections.

This is banana republic stuff.

Manafort was knee deep in the Ukrainian swamp for years. I’d bet my house they already have more than enough to put him away in Club Fed for a few years.

[Brilliant]

I suspect Manafort has some legal problems having nothing to do with Russian interference by the campaign that Mueller wants to use to put pressure on him to spill his guts about the Russians.

It could also have been intended to send a message to President Trump’s former campaign chairman that he should not expect gentle treatment or legal courtesies from Mueller’s team.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~No kidding!!!

[Fantasywriter]

Thanks to the tag team of Sessions and Rosenstein. It couldn’t have happened without them.

Spit.

[dowcaet]

That too!

In some ways Pyongyang is run more democratically than D.C. Our congress and our fed cops march to the orders of those as evil as the Kims.

[Red Badger]

....and when it does finally come to light, it’s in the WaPo...................

[mandaladon]

Manafort’s allies fear that Mueller hopes to build a case against Manafort unrelated to the 2016 campaign, in hopes that the former campaign operative would provide information against others in Trump’s inner circle in exchange for lessening his own legal exposure.~~~~~~~~~They'll try anything...

[redgolum]

Trump is being viewed by those in the belt way as a dead man walking.

When the boss is on the verge of being taken out, you don’t work with the boss. Otherwise you might get walked out too.
