Paul Manafort ran President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign for months after Corey Lewandowski left. Now, we learned his home in Virginia was raided by the FBI for documents related to Russian “meddling.” What a witch hunt!
As The Washington Post reports, the raid happened two weeks ago, but it’s just now becoming public:
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. Jason Maloni, a spokesman for Manafort, confirmed that agents executed a warrant at one of the political consultant’s homes and that Manafort cooperated with the search.
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.
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.
As we’re learning, Special Counsel Robert Mueller has expanded the investigation improperly– far beyond the scope of Russia. Now he’s going after Manafort personally, using his unchecked powers to destroy Manafort’s professional and personal life.
It’s unclear what information was found as a result of the raid. And we may never know those details.

This is a breaking news story. We will have more details as they become available.
Looks like the FederalBabyburnerInstigators still in the swamp!
Someone should measure the depths of this swamp. It seems to get deeper each day!
AAG Rosenstein is playing double agent. Mueller isn’t following the “rules” of this engagement, and Rosenstein knows it. #Americans would like to invoice of services rendered for each investigation and its yield.
And, in the meantime, absolutely nothing is being investigated with regard to all of the criminal and corrupt activities of Hillary and Bill Clinton, including all of their associates. All of Obama’s nefarious illegal activities apparently don’t matter to anyone in the government. New things are being uncovered daily. Yet, nothing is being done.
Trump is GOING DOWN!. Trump will look good wearing ORANGE. Jail time for Trump!
Dream on, moronic liberals, grow a brain, would you?
You have a fetish for prison sex, don’t you?
Dream on, because that is the only way you will see a proven Trump Russian entanglement, Mary.
You stayed glued to his news outlet, don’t you? It is a bit like gender bending to you, right? But sure you know what to do with that odd fellow you picked up behind Greyhound, don’t you sissy LOL
Get real, name a law he’s violated, unlike the Clinton’s, Obama’s, Comey and a list too long to list.

IF I WAS MANAFORT I WOULD SUE THE FBI FOR INVASION OF PRIVACY IF NOTHING IS FOUND !!!!! WHAT A STUPID LIBERAL WITCH HUNT !!!!!
Since the liberals are wanting an investigation, let them investigate this. https://youtu.be/4FWSnMNt0bM
And the FBI and Mueller are doing jack about Hillary and the people leaking classified intel to the media, including former FBI director Comey. Maybe the FBI is working for he Russians.
