Sorry, no. No judge is going to allow a person's private home and private property to be searched unless there is probable cause.

He was well connected to Russian interests and pro-Russian interests in Ukraine before he ever was involved with the Trump campaign. There was a lot of money involved in his efforts. He is believed to be the driving force behind the infamous change in the Republican platform in 2016.


This is specifically why he was asked to leave, the pro-Russian publicity about him was hurting the campaign.

Good question.

I've had some good reads/heard some good stories about Manafort and his past. He's either really, really good, or there's enough collateral info to nail him. Dealings with not just Russia and Ukraine, but Philippines Marcos in the eighties, a Lebanese arms merchant with a shady deal of French subs to Pakistan... I mean some pretty shady stuff cloaked as 'an advisor'.

Not to mention the Ukraine election crap- whether anyone wants to believe it or not.

Trump and Manafort go waaaay back- via Manaforts old partner Roger Stone.

I'm quite sure there is a lot 'there' that Manafort should be concerned about. And a lot of 'track' to cover.

For the feds to go in with a warrant to search the house, they must have had quite a bit of information/proof to show to a federal judge.

So, while Trumpers cry like snowflakes and say this is fake news and that Manafort hasn't been on the campaign since July, blah blah blah.....the fact that a federal judge approved a raid means they've got something on Manafort.


Hey Trumpers. Keep deflecting, snowflakes. Because Mueller keeps digging.

The raid occurred on July 26, 2017. That same day, Trump tweeted about transgender not being allowed to serve in the military. The tweet got a lot of press.

I bet Trump tweeted about transgender/military to DEFLECT from the Manafort FBI raid. Trump likely thought the raid would be written about in the press that day, so he created a 'bigger story' to deflect.
However, the Manafort raid didn't get written about in the press on July 26.

This explains why Trump, out of the blue, created that controversial tweet on July 26.

Someone does not know the meaning of a warrant.....


If they already have the "information/PROOF" as you stated why would they need a warrant?

For more evidence and proof of more related crimes.

I agree. Someone here definitely does not understand how warrants work, but its not to whom you directed your response.

Mueller sounds like such a loser, he can't even raid President Trump's home, he has to settle for virtual nobodies....

Not the kind of player you would want on your team, unless of course you like or condone that sort of thing..
I think it was his Russian dealings in general, not Trump related par-say. If it is, that is great though.
