“Protocol is not a matter of law and if a shock is desired then there will be no notification.”
The FBI breaking into Manifort’s home was uncalled for. They could have knocked and entered. Break-ins should only be used if evidence could easily be destroyed. If they wanted his computer and files then a break-in was strictly for shock value. I would assume that Mueller is continuing with the shock tactics.
The siege of the Branch Davidian house in Waco was indefensible as the official target David Koresh could have been arrested any day when he was going into town alone.Janet Reno definitely “called for” it, though. This crap is done rather often, mostly by local agencies but often enough by the Feds.
