Morphine Prince 110,034 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 WASHINGTON (AP) -- FBI agents have searched one of the homes of Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, Manafort's spokesman said Wednesday. Spokesman Jason Maloni said in a statement that FBI agents had obtained a warrant and searched one of Manafort's homes, but he would not say when the search occurred. The Washington Post, which first reported the raid, said it occurred the morning of July 26 at Manafort's home in Alexandria, Va. "Mr. Manafort has consistently cooperated with law enforcement and other serious inquiries and did so on this occasion as well," Maloni said. Manafort has been a subject of a longstanding FBI investigation into his dealings in Ukraine and work for the country's former president, Viktor Yanukovych. Special Counsel Robert Mueller is also investigating Manafort as part of his probe into Russia's meddling in the 2016 election and any possible collusion with Trump associates.

This could be separate from collusion, and might play into flipping Manafort against Trump. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 The morning the raided Manafort was the same morning Trump tweeted about the Transgender military ban. He was nervous and needed a distraction out there. I knew there had to be some reason that he pulled that out of his ass that day. Trump is certainly acting like a guilty man.
