**Title was abbreviated for space. The complete title is: "Mueller's office attacked The New York Times and Washington Post for 'inaccurately' reporting on his investigation"
But Mueller's team said in Monday's filings that its application for a search warrant "had not sought permission to enter without knocking."
"In issuing the warrant, the magistrate judge authorized the government to execute the warrant any day through August 8, 2017, and to conduct the search 'in the daytime [from] 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.,'" the document says. "The government complied fully with those date and time conditions, and Manafort does not contend otherwise."
That verbiage does not convince me that the reporting of the raid as a "no-knock raid" is "inaccurate". The first part says they didn't ask the judge to allow a no-knock raid, and the second part says nothing to refute an accusation (whether via "unnamed sources" or not) that they did indeed "execute" a no-knock raid via lock-picking while Manafort was out.
It also called out reports that “question the legitimacy of the Special Counsel’s investigation, tending to advance the opinion that the investigation is ‘tainted’ and therefore its results are suspect,” and stories that “include disparaging descriptions of the defendant.”

Translation. Mueller’s case is tainted, and now he’s trying to cover up his own crimes.
“””Robert Mueller has attacked the media, including The New York Times and the Washington Post, for reporting “inaccurately” on the Russia investigation.”””
Or in other words, “Mueller is very angry that the falsehoods in his memo leaked to NYT and WAPO was not printed verbatim.”
I’m totally sick of seeing old moose face on TV.
Compost/Slimes vs. Robert “Heinrich” Müller - a popcorn moment.
Maybe he should make the media part of his investigation. Throw in some subpoenas, raid some offices and take everything, not so much accuse but suggest they just have that smell about them.
He needs better leaks then.
Silly me. I read the headline expecting to see that Mueller was actually worried that the jury pool would be biased AGAINST Manafort.
Of course not. Mueller is worried that exposing the facts will bias the jury pool against the investigators.
It’s also interesting to see the bias in the article. I rarely intentionally read anything from AOL or Business Insider. They are clearly spinning the information in this story.
Interesting. Today’s Wall Street Journal has an op-ed titled “Mueller’s Fruit of the Poisoned Tree.” The subheadline says “It makes no difference how honorable he is. His investigation is tainted by the bias that attended its origin in 2016.”
