FBI conducted pre dawn raid of Paul Manaforts home (lawyer, accuse, nationalist)

At least it is moving along.

Looks like they are finding a lot....

The documents included materials Manafort had already provided to Congress, said people familiar with the search.

Wouldn't it stand to reason that they would indeed 'find' the same documents he brought in the day before?

I thought the reason was to find different stuff?

If the documents "included" some which were already produced, presumably there are other documents that were recovered.

Since when do investigators release evidence to the public in an ongoing investigation?

I would imagine it was Manafort (thru his attorneys) that said "oh they found the same stuff he brought in yesterday"..

I highly doubt they, or any investigator would announce "Hey!!! They found a BUNCH more stuff in that raid!!", lol.

Amazing how Trump supporters just refuse to admit how serious the Russia investigation is.
Two grand juries.
Sixteen prosecutors.
Subpoenas.
Now an FBI raid on Manafort's home. Once again, no judge will grant a search warrant unless there's evidence of a crime.

The Trump administration is in big, big trouble.

Manafort is slippery. I'm sure he took great steps to destroy or otherwise obscure some things. He has a looong history of dealing in the shadier side of business.

I heard they found a bag of 'nothingburgers' in the locked basement freezer, lol.

This is amateur hour at the white house, fumbling and bumbling around like the idiots they are. And now Manaforts home is raided. Yep, the FBI raids your home and thats good news if you listen to Donny boys rabid fanbase.

Yeah I'd be really surprised if, months later, he has incriminating files that haven't been wiped/burnt.
