FBI raided Manafort home as part of Russia probe
 

Of course theres no collusion :1orglaugh

Washington (CNN)FBI agents raided a home of President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort last month, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.

The agents seized materials in Manafort's home as part of the ongoing Russia investigation led by Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the source said.
"FBI agents executed a search warrant at one of Mr. Manafort's residences. Mr. Manafort has consistently cooperated with law enforcement and other serious inquiries and did so on this occasion as well," Jason Maloni, a spokesman for Manafort, told CNN. He declined to provide further details.
The so-called no-knock warrant, which was first reported by The Washington Post, was served at Manafort's home in Washington's northern Virginia suburbs on July 26, the day after Manafort met with Senate intelligence committee investigators.

A no knock warrant was issued by the court. Nothing to see here ...

Nothing to see here at all, move along....

I feel that the better question to ask as marketers regarding the email fiasco is
what % of those emails hit inbox and which email delivery service provider did they use? :1orglaugh

This is a good thing. It will either prove or not Manafort involvement in the Russia hacking. And what that hacking revealed. Great news.

The expression "But the emails" is a stab at the Republican line of attack where they claim Hillary Clinton deleted 30k emails that were never turned over... blah blah blah.

In fact, working at YNOT Mail I have discovered that political emails have an entirely different set of laws, and the SPAM CAN act does not apply.

This is great news. We are moving closer to the truth. The truth always comes out in the end.

I think.... This is a sign that Manafort is not giving them - the FBI - everything they wanted. Under US law, in order to get a search warrant the FBI has to have a valid reason to search for something specific.... Meaning they go to a judge and say "We believe a crime has been committed, this is what we know, and we believe that a search would give us more evidence". This means the FBI believes a crime has been committed and they are looking for more details.

Hope they smack Trumps head on the roof of the car as they put him in the backseat, just like he told the cops they should do to all suspects.

Manafort has had 8 months warning to cover his tracks. Manafort has 5 homes, just one was raided, that we know of.

That being said , the raid happened on July 26th and this explains the second grand Jury Mueller created in DC less than a week after the raid and his hiring of attorney Greg Andres on August 1st, who used to work for the Department of Justice. He was deputy assistant attorney general in the criminal division, where he oversaw the fraud unit and managed the program that targeted illegal foreign bribery.

So whatever they got from the Manafort raid is solid and promoted creating a DC Grand Jury and and hiring a foreign bribery expert for crimes committed in DC. Manaforts house that was raided is in Alexandria, Va., where the first Grand Jury was created a couple months ago.

So putting the pieces together whatever they found in Virginia is tied to crimes committed in DC involving foreign bribery.

Since May the Whitehouse has been refusing to hand over documents pertaining to Michael Flynn requested by congress. Trump White House Refuses to Give Key Flynn Documents to Congress ? Mother Jones

Why would the Whitehouse refuse to give documents over pertaining to Flynn, an employee that got fired for lying?

So it begins and notice all the red hats are hiding from this topic.. Clearly waiting on Fox news or a Trump tweet to give them an excuse on how to defend and deflect..

Trump's tweets on July 26th, the day of the Manafort raid:

Why didn't A.G. Sessions replace Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, a Comey friend who was in charge of Clinton investigation but got....

...big dollars ($700,000) for his wife's political run from Hillary Clinton and her representatives. Drain the Swamp!

After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow......

....Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military. Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming.....

....victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail. Thank you

IN AMERICA WE DON'T WORSHIP GOVERNMENT - WE WORSHIP GOD!

So Trumps cuck the National Inquirer, owned by Trump's long time friend, published a hit piece against Manafort today...

Why did Trumps favorite tabloid launch a hit against Manafort the same day FBI raid news leaked?

"On Wednesday morning, news leaked that the FBI last month had conducted a pre-dawn raid of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort?s home in Alexandria, Virginia.

Roughly one hour later, the National Enquirer published an article allegedly exposing Manafort being involved in a ?sick sex scandal? that involved affairs with women who were significantly younger than his wife.

The Enquirer hit on Manafort is notable because the tabloid has consistently been a major booster to President Donald Trump ? and has not been shy about attacking his perceived enemies."

I wonder if they found smashed hard drives, if he wired a few hundred grand of fraudulent money out of the country and he was hopping on a flight for a apparent "6 month paid vacation" courtesy of Wasserman-Schultz.

Nope, and that's why we are only hearing about it now.

Speaking of hearing

You remind me of some dude who broke up with his girlfriend 3 years ago and still won't shut the fuck up about her.

They ran their own private servers. That seems to be the issue.
It was out of the normal prying eyes of the government insiders with clearance.

I have a friend like that.

She weighs three hundred pounds, and has three kids with this one man. He suddenly left her for a woman that is twice his age. Every day on Facebook for the past three months she's been ranting about it.

Have they found anything yet?

Getting a search warrant for this would have been easy, just ask a liberal judge.

It will be great if they find anything and great if they find nothing. Because then it will be more proof libtards are sore losers.

Will it stop the investigation if they find nothing?

Or will this be like GWB and the WMD saying the evidence has to be somewhere even if I can't find it?

Getting a search warrant in the biggest investigation in a generation for people with some of the best Attorneys in the country would not be easy and not be given unless there was something there. Your fantasy is not reality.

Sure they will ... just like for the famous emails and Benghazi ....

The GOP manufactures political "legal cases" & conspiracies to rally their base. They abuse the American political system for political gain. They did it with Bill Clinton for years, and later with Hillary Clinton, for years.

From years of "investigations", no charges ever filed, no guilty verdicts. Just a POTUS lying about a blowjob.

When Democrats being a case forward it's legit, because we respect the rule of law & integrity of the system, unlike Republicans who exploit the system for personal gain and flaunt the rule of law for politicians.
