FBI agents raided the Alexandria home of President Trump’s former campaign chairman late last month, using a search warrant to seize documents and other materials, according to people familiar with the special counsel investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Federal agents appeared at Paul Manafort’s home without advance warning in the predawn hours of July 26, the day after he met voluntarily with the staff for the Senate Intelligence Committee.

The search warrant was wide-ranging and FBI agents working with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III departed the home with various records.

And now they can create “evidence” at their leisure.

Btw, for those that follow money laundering trails and trials and investigations...Daughter said in a text how Manafort avoids detection.

They log in and write drafts...not sent over servers.

Not an IT person so I don’t know if that can be caught. The log ins probably can be detected.

It was very CLEAR to me where this was going..and it isn’t done yet..despite those that think because two weeks has gone by it must be over. LUDICROUS.

This was reportedly a no knock warrant by the FBI....that is a heavy duty thing.

Again, doesn’t mean it is going to lead to Trump. Manafort could flip on a lot of people that the DOJ would love to nail.

This is the first act and serves as cover for the main act which is Hillary Clinton’s indictment.

The appearance has to be that the Trump team is being bludgeoned by the FBI.

When the Clinton indictments come it will be very hard to say this is partisan. So obvious!

“Funny they never did that with Hillary’s secret server”

If you’re a democrat you can delay, obstruct and drag it out for years.

If you’re a republican and cooperate, you get raided and should be happy they didn’t shoot you.

So much for cooperating.

I’ve seen the corrupt FBI in action watching the Oregon Standoff story where an agent and his four buddies lied about the shots they fired at the nonviolent protestors in a pickup truck.

Then in Nevada manipulating evidence to send people involved in the standoff near Bundy Ranch back in 2014 to jail for life.

“Trump is being viewed by those in the belt way as a dead man walking.

When the boss is on the verge of being taken out, you don’t work with the boss. Otherwise you might get walked out too.”

They said that he was going to end his campaign after Iowa.

Going to apologize to me yet? Look at the date of this exchange compared to when the FBI raided Manafort.

“Look at the date of this exchange”

Good catch on the date, If I was Trump I can’t even say how ticked I’d be at Sessions. Trump, his family, his friends and his associates are being fed through the meat grinder to achieve a process crime to try get someone to turn. All because of the Sessions wimped out recusal. Simple No recusal no Mueller.
Now it Looks like they have their Scooter Libby. No raid on the witch, No raid on Shultz, No raid on Rice, No Raid on Lynch, not even a raid on the house Awan was renting. The only reason they found the drives is an ex-Marine found them when he rented the house. The FBI has been totally compromised it started with Janet Reno and make no waves W did nothing to stop it or even slow it down.

Justice should respond by seizing all of the Obama records held in storage for the Presidential library.

The Deep State had better realize they are not Gods, they are not 10 feet tall, nor are they bullet proof.
Our President was justly elected and if they take him out, WE WILL RESPOND IN KIND.

I have received endless crap from a few posters....I feel vindicated today. There are some serious issues with manafort that are glaring red sirens. Doesnt mean it will lead to trump

I just wish clinton got the same microscopes because she has even more glaring red sirens. Too big to take down...imo.

Meanwhile. ..dubious mcmaster has put a Cair outreach person in charge of counter terrorism.

Apologize for what, that you’re a conspiracy nut? I can’t help that fact. My retort to you still stands from back then, and you’re still a tin foil hat nut that appears to be an emotional basket case: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3571953/posts?page=378#378

I heard something this morning about Russian payments going to a lot fo Manafort’s shell companies but I wasn’t really paying attention since I was shopping online for my granddaughter. You know - something important.
