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.

Federal agents appeared at Paul Manafort’s home without advance warning in the predawn hours of July 26, the day after he met voluntarily with the staff for the Senate Intelligence Committee.

The search warrant was wide-ranging and FBI agents working with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III departed the home with various records.

Manafort bought his house in cash. You think he's gonna have any meaningful records?

The raid came as Manafort has been voluntarily producing documents to congressional committees investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election. The search warrant indicates investigators may have argued to a federal judge they had reason to believe Manafort could not be trusted to turn over all records in response to a grand jury subpoena.

new LINK but this is all generated from WaPo. If they truly had something on him WaPo would not have leaked this from their sauces
So they raided his home at dawn for 'records' he may not have turned in already almost two weeks ago? He has not been arrested so what did the hunt not find?

No idea if Manafort did or did not do anything wrong, but if he still had any evidence of any value left in July 2017 he deserves to go to jail. I'm sure he had a boating accident on the Chesapeake Bay where he lost all his cell phones, iPads, laptops, and other electronic devices. Also a small fire in his workshop where nearly all his paper documents were mysteriously destroyed.

I thought you tell the FBI what you're going to give them and when.

That's what Hillary did

New rule for dealing with the FBI -- just make sure they can't prove intent.

If you broke the law, but didn't intend to break the law back when you were breaking the law then you're good.

What's the worst that can happen? FBI Director may have to release a public statement and you'll lose an election. That's better than going to jail.

It could also have been intended to send a message to President Trump’s former campaign chairman that he should not expect gentle treatment or legal courtesies from Mueller’s team.



Seems like a political witch hunt.

I was thinking Flynn was in the most trouble. Looks like Manafort may give him a run.
