So I guess all of the seized documents that will take time to go over and may produce another avenue to walk down in the investigation are what? Insignificant? Hmmm. How interesting that you view this as a big nothing burger without any analysis of the documents. Okay. Having a low information stance does make things simpler and easier to believe what one wants to believe without facts to prove or disprove I guess. I think I'll wait to pass judgement until after the investigations conclude and Flynn cooperates. Does anyone else see immunity in his future? He says he has a story to tell, and I believe him. Big nothing burger? I doubt it.

Now I am imagining the FBI raiding the Hamburgler, and coming out of his house with sacks and sacks of cheese burgers, ketchup, mustard, etc. Maybe posing for a photo op in front of a huge pile of burgers and guns on a table somewhere.

Did they expect him to pull an AK and resist? The use of tactics like predawn raids when not confronting expected violent suspects should not be a SOP thing in a free society

I'm sure Manaforts past, err, record of obfuscation and financial, err, irregularities had something to do with approval of the raid.

Not the kind of player you would want on your team, unless of course you like or condone that sort of thing..

DWorkin on Twitter: "To obtain such a warrant for Manafort's house, FBI would need to show probable cause that a crime was committed. "

This is HUGE. If criminal evidence was found, it most likely implicates Trump himself. If your campaign chairman is guilty of wrongdoing, chances are he was doing it for the campaign, and Trump had to have known.

Well, if Manafort colluded with Russians, then I hope they find proof and burn is behind..


I am not holding my breath though. Russia may have tried to influence our election but I do not believe they had any inside help doing so. Just my opinion.

Raid!!!
People, this all happened a month ago......... OLD news and it didn't go down like they are trying to frame it. There was no pre-dawn raid.

No it was not a raid. It was all arranged by lawyers. Infowars Roger Stone reported on it last month, that Manafort would be turning over all the information requested in the investigation later. That has happened the following day at the lawyers office..

Roger Stone himself, is to do the same thing, along with Page.

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.
