Robert Mueller’s sprawling special-counsel investigation is playing hardball.
It was not enough to get a search warrant to ransack the Virginia home of Paul Manafort, even as the former Trump campaign chairman was cooperating with congressional investigators. Mueller’s bad-asses persuaded a judge to give them permission to pick the door lock. That way, they could break into the premises in the wee hours, while Manafort and his wife were in bed sleeping. They proceeded to secure the premises — of a man they are reportedly investigating for tax and financial crimes, not gang murders and Mafia hits — by drawing their guns on the stunned couple, apparently to check their pajamas for weapons.

Not dunce. Trojan horse and willing co-conspirator to bring down the Trump presidency by any means possible. I wish people would get that about Sessions. I know there are people here who are fans of his, but the entire sequence of events that led to Mueller’s appointment screams set up and Trojan horse AG.
Lock picking at the dead of night and holding them at gunpoint. Wow — comparing that to the Hillary ‘investigation’ was a good call.
Liz, your pings ROCK!
And we should keep hammering away about the targeted IRS audits of the Tea Party.
Combine that with this, and people will see clearly that that Trump’s opposition is routinely TRYRANNICAL.
Mueller’s ever expanding, extra legal tactics are moving ever closer to secretive and repressive police state style intimidation. Its clear that his mission (orders from the Swamp) is to get Trump. He is clearly attempting to manufacture evidence to flip Manafort and get him to implicate the president in something, anything. People will only tolerate so much of this abuse.
Their defense is to start a massive investigation of the Trump campaign to delegitimize any revelations the current administration might reveal about the previous administration.
Or at least use the old excuse "both parties do it".
I’m not sure what’s more sad, that Mueller thinks he gains anything by employing jackboot techniques, or that there are so may willing participants in the FBI to carry out this midnight raid.
I’m reminded of the Claire Wolfe quote, except we’ve perhaps passed the point of it being too early. The State is the enemy of the People.
“America is at that awkward stage; it’s too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards.”
— Claire Wolfe
These bastards would not let Mrs. Manafort change out of her nightgown before frisking her, because everyone sleeps with a loaded gun in their nightgown doncha know.
Her husband had testified before one congressional committee the day before and was preparing to go to another the day this Soviet-style attack by the FBI took place. Does this sound to you like their rights as American citizens were respected? Keep in mind that if it happened to them, it can happen to you.
You are either naive or missing the fact that Mueller has his DC-Dem loving grand jury to indict on whatever Mueller wants them to, and Mueller can easily find a corrupt judge to preside over any kangaroo trial court. The Swamp manufactured a casus belli to go to war against Trump and his administration. Do you seriously think they are going to let it go to waste?
Makes you wonder who killed Seth Rich. A regular old assassin or a regular old government employee/contractor.
I don’t recall federal agents breaking into Cheryl Mills, or Robby Mook, or John Podesta’s home to investigate Crooked Hillarys violation of the espionage act. In fact, Hillarys goons were given immunity fer cryin’ out loud!
WHERE THE HELL IS JEFF SESSIONS??
This whole situation is extremely unfair and extremely frustrating!!
It’s been reported that Manafort had been under surveillance since 2014, so why no indictments?
Should it be determined that the fake Russia dossier was used as a basis for continuing/renewing surveillance then there’s the strong likelhood that any evidence obtained from that surveillance will be inadmissable in court.
I've been reading these idiotic rants from people on FreeRepublic ever since a bunch of nuts here were insisting Barack Obama was going to cancel the 2016 election and stay in office as a dictator for life.
Yes, God Bless the Manafort and Flynn families as they suffer this outrageous political inquisition directed by a rogue agent Mueller hired and given power to use a weaponized partisan FBI stasi
While Jeff Sessions and congressional Republicans say and do NOTHING
Sessions is teetering on joining Earl Warren, David Souter, and John Roberts as GOP disasters. A coward and traitor.
I dearly hope that Jeffy the Ineffectual makes me eat those words but it is likely a forlorn hope. What a disappointment
And at least the goons didnt shoot their family dog when they broke in
Must not have one
mueller did deliver the uranium according to a wikileaks release.

so here we are again with the dems blaming others to hide exactly what they have done themselves.
Right we are and have been since 2008. And what hurts is Trump has not the vision to realize that Mueller is a communists rag and Trump must call a halt to the Special Counsel.
Odd coincidence Seth was photographed out drinking with Imran Awans tech team the night he was assassinated, eh?
None of whom were questioned
“Their defense is to start a massive investigation of the Trump campaign to delegitimize any revelations the current administration might reveal about the previous administration.”
Exactly.
