The FBI’s July raid on former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort's Virginia home lasted 10 hours and involved a dozen federal agents, who seized documents labeled “attorney-client,” according to a source close to the investigation.
The July raid was first reported earlier this month, but the new details reflect the intensity and scope of the search, which the source described as “heavy-handed, designed to intimidate.” Elements of the account were backed up by a second individual also not authorized to speak on the record.
New details on FBI raid of Paul Manafort's home The FBI’s July raid on former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort's Virginia home lasted 10 hours and involved a dozen federal agents, who seized documents labeled “attorney-client,” according to a source close to the investigation.
The source said both Manafort and his wife were asleep when FBI agents entered the Alexandria, Va., condo without warning at about 6 a.m. ET. They did not conclude their search until late afternoon, around 4 p.m. ET. The 1,600-square-foot condo includes three bedrooms and a main living area. […]
“This is an unusual step; there is no getting around it,” former Justice Department official Tom Dupree told Fox News. “It is an aggressive step. I think it sends a very strong message both to Manafort himself and potentially other people who might be targets of this investigation that [Special Counsel Robert] Mueller is going to pursue this aggressively.” …

Aka Scooter Libby...
Jeff Feckless pretends he is an honorable man, when really he is a back stabbing traitor. Trump, his family, his business associates, his political allies, and his friends are being persecuted and assaulted by the Deep State, and some are even being driven to financial ruin. And Jeff Feckless sits on the sidelines, acting like this is none of his concern. I am disgusted by him.
If he’s a lawyer and maintains an office in is home, as most do today, why would attorney-client privilege not apply?
Sessions probably commended the Very Special Agents for their compliance to The Rule of Law.
Sessions is not involved up to his jackbooted eyeballs.
Is there any real gray matter between those ears and behind those eyes???
He sure doesn’t look, or act, like it.
Looks like one of the 7 dwarfs...Dopey, maybe???
Remember when that dude stuffed classified docs in his socks? Did anyone raid his house?
THE FBI = DEEP STATE SECRET POLICE!
This country is in SOOOO much trouble!
> That’s why Japan and China have criminal prosecution conviction rates of so near 100%. Because they coerce a confession >90% of the time.
They also just convict some minor criminal of the crime if they can’t find the real criminal.
Their systems do have a major benefit: Close to zero crime. People commit crimes on the basis of how likely they’ll be caught and if the police always get their man people commit very few crimes. Even guilty people who have someone else pay for their crimes think that they got lucky and don’t tend to commit more crimes.
Many communities in the US have close to zero crime, and do so without violating unalienable rights.
I prefer the system outlined in the Constitution.
Manafort was in trouble before Sessions came along... that’s why he was dropped.
It’s only the Feebs. If the 4chan pol autists were on the case there would be cause for concern,

We didn’t really extend full criminal rights to the public at large until the 60s. Before that the rights outlines in the Constitution applied to mostly the middle and upper classes while the lower classes got more of the treatment we see in Japan and China today. Remember that constitutional rights were only really intended for land owners. People responsible enough to own land often were not extended such rights.
Note that when we did extend those full criminal rights to the public at large in the 60s and crime went through the roof. Applying a criminal system justice system designed for responsible people to irresponsible people is bad idea as our experiment with it has demonstrated. In order to get crime down in the 90s and 00s we had to lock up almost 3% of the population and even then we didn’t come anywhere near the low crime rate we had before the 60s.
So we really have 2 choices in crime control: Return to the tradition of only giving full criminal rights to middle and upper classes while applying the harsher system on the lower classes or lock up a huge chunk of the lower classes after they commit crimes and leave entire areas as burned out crime filled slums.
I choose our traditional system. Which do you choose?
Respecting natural rights did not create a crime wave. What a crackpot position to argue. The Great Society with its breakdown of welfare families and control of the educational system is the main culprit.
All of it unconstitutional, as is your contemptuous view of the natural rights of citizens.
>Respecting natural rights did not create a crime wave.
Prove it. Examine how lower class criminals were treated before the 60s.
>The Great Society with its breakdown of welfare families and control of the educational system is the main culprit.
The crime wave started in the early 60s before welfare was a major factor. And yes Welfare made it worse.
>All of it unconstitutional, as is your contemptuous view of the natural rights of citizens.
If it was unconstitutional, why wasn’t it extend to the lower classes before the 60s by activist judges?
