Gun-wielding FBI agents busted into Paul Manafort’s home as he was asleep in bed and even searched his wife for weapons, it was revealed Tuesday.
Agents took an unusually tough approach in executing a search warrant, dealing with potential financial crimes by President Trump’s former campaign chief, sources familiar with the July 25 raid, told CNN.
The pre-dawn, guns-blazing tactics and weapons search of Kathleen Manafort left the Alexandria, Va. couple shaken, according to CNN’s report.
Manafort is in the crosshairs of special counsel Robert Mueller, as he probes Russian interference into the 2016 presidential election.
Mueller’s dovetail investigation of Manafort stretches into potential financial wrongdoing dating back to January, 2006.

“I hate that Sessions created all this for a media pat on the head without thinking it through.”
Sessions is a member of our irredeemably corrupt and depraved political class. What should we have expected of him?
I was hoping and praying that Trump would appoint decent men to his cabinet. The answer to that prayer was “no.”
“The FBI was founded with a corrupt, cross-dressing, deviant as its director”
Oh, for the love of...
It is demonstrated—not theorized, but proven, conclusively, beyond any shred of reasonable doubt—that the whole cross-dressing thing was an invention of the KGB. There was never any truth to it, at all.
Will people kindly catch the frick up and stop repeating Cold-War disinformation?
this has been known for at least 10 day publicly and is not breaking news.
Yep. A long way from 1965...
I posted it in News/Activism General Interest section not Highlights.
AGREE!!!!!!
With all due respect, I look to Breaking News for the latest current news.
Why is this in the “Breaking News” Sidebar??
This happened in July...There were articles on FR and elsewhere:

And what did they do when the burst in and seized Hillary’s server?
And when they took possession of the “hacked” Democrat server for forensic evidence against Russia?
Oh, they didn’t.
Armed robbery of an election.
Ok, fine. This sets the stage for how Podesta will be treated when they bust him for things that are 1000 times worse and which he is actually guilty of.
then somebody else elevated it
“They don’t pick the lock, they kick down the door”
Proving that the FBI isn’t a bunch of Nazis.
Because the Nazis knocked first.
Does anyone know if we currently have an Attorney General or is that post vacant?
“With the same unchecked power given to the NKVD’s Lavrenti Beria.”
Despicable.
The key words here are “FBI agents.” Guess what...the FBI is part of the Executive Branch. If they’re out of order, the Chief Executive should do something about it. If he doesn’t have control, then that is the real issue.
I guess that Manafort doesn’t have a dog. It would have alerted him and his wife to the raiders.
Digs, the best alarm systems money can buy.
