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.

If this is becoming public knowledge 15 days after the fact, I’m betting there was no there, there. Otherwise we would have known about it 15 days ago. JMHO!

The FBI also just recently tried to have George Webb arrested for sleeping in his car. The judge knew that there was no law against that and it was thrown out because the FBI couldn’t show probable cause and the they wouldn’t produce legal evidence why they wanted him arrested. He’s got good lawyers. We have a race going on.

Damn, there hasn’t been any winning since the election thanks to the Media-FBI-DNC Coup that is robbing us of our Democratically elected leader. Can’t believe so-called Repub’s let them get away with this. Sessions is such a POS to set up the President like this.
And Trump was silly for thinking he could trust the guy...his biggest mistake.

I predict an indictment. Four days before the 2018 election.

G. Gordon Liddy, on his old talk radio show, once said the FBI would arrest people and charge them with stupid stuff just to get them riled up, psyched out and put on notice..............

President Trump could put a stop to all that simply by issuing a pardon to Manafort.

Agree with that.
It's a cesspool of corrupted politicians.

I forget, what has Manafort been charged with?

You’ve got that right! I am not going to view Drudge’s tripe anymore now that he has crossed over to the dark side.

So how is he a dead man walking? Can’t picture him ever quitting. And, where do they get enough votes in the senate for removal? For that matter in the house for impeachment?

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

Hopefully there are enough people left in America to make "those in the belt way" dead men in retaliation.

The guy willingly came before the committee. The FBI is dirty. Let’s see what the warrant says.

I see the Mueller has adopted the DNCs Minnesota tactics.

I no longer wonder I now know.

This is a coup attempt to overthrow the government by the DNC.

Nothing. I’m just explaining why Manafort shouldn’t necessarily feel any pressure from a Federal prosecutor.

He’s the pick by Mulehead to prosecute in the hopes he will have something to bargain with on Trump or Trump jr.

The coup is well underway by the fourth branch of government. They must be reined in or the republic is done. The bureaucracy has decided it is the Praetorian Guard of the country and THEY will decide who gets to be president. These SFB’s can’t get anything right: 911, nukes for the Norks, Iraq has WMD’s, oops no they don’t, the VA, obamacare and they demand they be made the sacred protectors of the USA! God help us!

“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.”

Quite a stretch there.
