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.
You really like spreading useless rumors... Manafort was a crook that had dealings that did not include Trump, could it be possible that FBI is investigating Manafort (since 2014) for something else... I know I shouldn't feed a troll, but sometimes I just can't help myself...

Breaking August 9th..... Ya, sure! Wool, meet your eyes.
Manafort's attorney confirmed the warrant/ raid.

Courts are not subject to the Public Records Act. A search warrant is not public information unless/ until it is used as an exhibit during a trial.

Trump trying his hardest to discredit Manafort. Donald, how dumb are you? LOL. For somebody that isn't guilty of anything, Trump sure knows how to raise some eyebrows with his behavior.

Yeah. Neither interesting nor surprising.

Show me the man and I will find you the crime.

Do we live under the Constitution of Freedom & Liberty, or is this the new Kremlin?




It is right there, before your very eyes.

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.

I'm betting you're right.

No, that happened during the Clinton presidency. Crooked Trump is all that and then some.

Well heeled people pay cash and later finance, all the time and often do so to free up cash for their next purchase or investment or pay off private debt. It's not necessarily money laundering.


Property changes hands...... The government knows all about it. Deeds are funny things.

Trumplings consider everything illegal that Trump does as a "nothingburger".

How does this make sense, or do you have a very short memory?

All 3 - Manafort, Page and Stone, have all begged to testify in open congressional investigation so we can all hear the truth. The government wants it all behind closed doors and then when that is agreed, they cancel the testimony all together. Happened twice to Stone and Manafort.

There is no law against being a lobbyiest for a foreign country. How a private citizen earns a living is none of our business. It is not like the Clinton's being paid millions by Russia while Hillary is Sec of State.

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.
You were misinformed. Imagine that.

Yes, it was a predawn raid. They had a warrant but there was no notice given of the raid.

The FBI conducted a predawn raid on Paul Manafort's home to seize documents related to the Russia probe
