WASHINGTON — Paul J. Manafort was in bed early one morning in July when federal agents bearing a search warrant picked the lock on his front door and raided his Virginia home. They took binders stuffed with documents and copied his computer files, looking for evidence that Mr. Manafort, President Trump’s former campaign chairman, set up secret offshore bank accounts. They even photographed the expensive suits in his closet.
The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, then followed the house search with a warning: His prosecutors told Mr. Manafort they planned to indict him, said two people close to the investigation.
The moves against Mr. Manafort are just a glimpse of the aggressive tactics used by Mr. Mueller and his team of prosecutors in the four months since taking over the Justice Department’s investigation into Russia’s attempts to disrupt last year’s election, according to lawyers, witnesses and American officials who have described the approach. Dispensing with the plodding pace typical of many white-collar investigations, Mr. Mueller’s team has used what some describe as shock-and-awe tactics to intimidate witnesses and potential targets of the inquiry.
Mr. Mueller has obtained a flurry of subpoenas to compel witnesses to testify before a grand jury, lawyers and witnesses say, sometimes before his prosecutors have taken the customary first step of interviewing them. One witness was called before the grand jury less than a month after his name surfaced in news accounts. The special counsel even took the unusual step of obtaining a subpoena for one of Mr. Manafort’s former lawyers, claiming an exception to the rule that shields attorney-client discussions from scrutiny.

No mention in the article all of these prosecutors are biased Hilary supporters.
They’re trying to flip him. Guess what? If they had anything, he’d be behind bars.
With operation this size you could bring down Mother Theresa.
Mueller acts like he’s prosecuting the a the west coast branch of Mara Salvatrucha.
The Attorney General acts like he belongs in an special care home for Alzheimer patients.
Before this is over, every one of the criminals in the Demagogic Party will have to hang. Short of that, none of us will ever again be free, or secure.

Ya but nothing will happen. The AG apparently still works for the Obama enhanced swamp and not the President and the American people.
Mueller is moving at warp speed to come up with any indictment of any trump connections before awan/seth rich/hildabeast & podestas own russian collusion explodes in his face.
everybody should definitely acquire firearms, etc...take a class in how to use them safely and effectively for home and self defense
They are practically treating manafort like El Chapo or something- Is he so dangerous that they have to break into his home when He’s asleep?
None of this would be happening if Jeff Sessions was still alive :-/
Why are you only dealing with half the problem?
Compare and contrast with the pretend investigation of Hillary, in which everyone was granted immunity and no one was questioned under oath.
This article describes what I would call a lawless political witchhunt.
If Jeff Sessions had any integrity he would have resigned a long time ago.
Mueller is totally out of control. Sessions set Trump up and swamper Rosenstein took it from there.
Yes, which is saying a lot for a liberal rag like the New York Slimes.
hes just to gd old.....so annoying, Trumps biggest mistake.
