re: FBI conducted pre-dawn raid of Manafort's home in late July.

I mean maybe the judge was too easily convinced, but since we don't know, and we know "probable cause" is a requirement, it's not crazy to assume they "had a good reason."

The standard is "reasonable and probable grounds" which again is pretty easy to meet, and while I guess you could call that "good reason" based on my experiences with obtaining search warrants I can tell you that isn't always true.

And further proving that the decision to either ask for or grant search warrants is pretty subjective both on the parts of law enforcement and judges , one need look no further than say Hillary Clinton. Were these self righteous assholes who are now screaming about Trump and his associates anywhere to be found when for example the FBI didn't bother to get a warrant to search the homes of Hillary and her associates when it was beyond known that classified material was being sent via unsecure computers? Hell man, it was months later when during an unconnected investigation another device was found that contained classified emails. When any reasonable person would have found it probable to search Huma's abode for more devices in the original investigation.

I simply dislike the outright hypocrisy we have seen here in the last 6 months in all things Trump.
