That's certainly how the FBI handled Hillary Clinton. Remember when they searched her house? Neither do I.

bullshite!
If that were the case, all they needed to do was show up during the day and knock on the door.

This was conducted as if it was an assault on Pablo Escobar's lair.

No excuse for this BS in America. None!

Can some one explain why a no knock raid was appropriate in this instance? Why did the judge or magistrate approve this?

No. I’m pretty sure no one on this forum can answer that question. Maybe save it for a press conference when people that can answer the question are available.

What the frick are you talking about? A question was asked, I answered it.

That most certainly WAS the reason a no knock warrant was approved. Whether you think that should happen in the US is irrelevant as to the reason it was done in this case.

I swear logic is such a challenge for some of you.

Manafort was laundering Russian organized crime money through a shell company in Cyprus.

How about the newly acquired cell phone in someone else's name. Any red flags there?

The question was already answered by someone familiar with the investigation . The no knock warrant was approved because the warrant specified that there were documents in the house that they were afraid Manafort would destroy if he had advance warning of the search.

Do you remember when Hillary Clinton was indicted for a criminal offense and a search warrant seeking more than emails was signed by a federal judge? Neither do I.

It was approved for the same reason it was requested.
It had not one damn thing to do with any sudden destruction of evidence.
It was approved to justify a thuggish home raid, scaring hell out of the occupants, and gain ability to either physically embarrass/abuse occupants including wives/children present or worse.

Lol
No, that is not how it works when investigating criminal conduct, certainly not on every case, particularly when money laundering and conspiracy against the United States is involved.

Of course you don't, because no federal grand jury was ever empaneled, even though the fricking Director of the FBI said on national TV "she did break the law" and if you are too stupid to understand that Comey did say Hillary broke the law, but that no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute, he did NOT say Hillary didn't break the law, then don't even bother responding.

Zero. Zip. There are a dozen legitimate reasons for an international business man to have a burner phone.

The nitwit also approved immediate house arrest and gis ankle monitoring.
She is considering now whether Manafort and Gates are guilty, thus needing to remain under house arrest, until they can prove their innocence in Apr 2018.
Unbelievable.

She released them on bond under conditions not uncommon for people with significant foreign ties and the means to flee.

She is not now considering whether Manafort and Gates are guilty. That’s a much later phase. The burden is not on them to prove their innocence. What led you to believe that?

You are not very smart are you? Have you ever applied for a search warrant? I have , thousands of times, you have to put a valid reason on the request to get it approved. I mean thee's an actual fricking record. "I want to intimidate the witness" isn't going to fly and no judge is going to approve that request.

However, "we fear the defendant will destroy records if he has warning" is a valid reason that will pass muster with a judge . So even if you believed the real reason the FBI wanted a no knock warrant was to harrass an old lady, the question was "why did the judge approve of it?" To which I answered correctly, because the FBI made the case that there were records that Manafort would destroy if he had advance warning.

In fact, this is exactly what should have been done in regards to Hillary's email server, and other electronic devices, the FBI should have shown up at 6 am and kicked down the door and confiscated everything before she had a chance to wipe anything with a cloth, but instead they actually gave everyone months to make sure they destroyed evidence before they looked at any devices.

Sometimes it's best just to acknowledge that you have no actual knowledge of how things works and thus acknowledge that your opinion isn't as valid as the opinion of those who do.
