(8,801 posts)Manafort had no advance warning about the raid, which took place July 26. According to the Post, documents and other materials were seized.
Manafort is a key figure in the investigation into the Trump campaigns ties to Russia.
One day before the raid, Manafort met with Senate Intelligence Committee investigators to discuss a meeting between a Russian lawyer and members of Trumps campaign team that took place during the 2016 presidential election. Jason Maloni, Manaforts spokesman, said Manafort answered their questions fully.

He did this for 2 reasons ...first and always, he's an asshole and secondly, the media frenzy regarding the transgender banning would greatly distract from the Manafort raid... which it indeed did...Trump is a successful manlipulator and grifter in chief..

(11,527 posts)After all this started with Comey and Mueller wouldn't everyone involved destroy anything they could?
They can't change phone calls, texts, or emails...they can try to delete.
Paper trail though if I was involved I would have gathered it all up and had a big camp fire. Or at very least moved any folders to another state and hid well.
Bank statements though, follow the money, can't change that.

(111,111 posts)We heard that news yesterday. Why did he feel the need to talk to Mueller? Was it a veiled threat?

(27,848 posts)None of the Bush Crime Family is in jail, Reagan is still revered, Comey still swayed the election and broke my heart. Does it matter? I feel so discouraged.
