Manafort charges grew out of records seized in 'no-knock' raid

The FBI’s predawn search of Paul Manafort’s northern Virginia home in July yielded important new evidence crucial to the indictment of Donald Trump’s campaign chairman and one of his close associates, according to the indictments unsealed yesterday by special counsel Robert Mueller.

The “no-knock” raid by agents who picked the lock on Manafort’s front door turned up records showing the longtime political operative had been directly involved in a secret lobbying campaign on behalf of a Ukrainian political party closely aligned with Vladimir Putin’s Russian government, according to the court papers. Manafort, who ran Trump’s campaign for several crucial months last year, has been charged, along with his longtime business partner Rick Gates, with running a scheme to conceal and avoid paying taxes on millions of dollars in fees they collected for their work.

I just read this story.  Confined to house arrest on high bail.  They should have been indicted on this scheme.   Although the article mentions that Manafort ran Trump's campaign for a few months, it later admits there is apparently no connection to Trump.

Yahoo omitted the 'sob' after admitting this.

Keep in mind that a Grand Jury will indict ham sandwiches, and this Wash. DC GJ draws from a region that votes 90+ percent Hillary.

And also keep in mind the charges, are NOT about Trump collusion, so the SP is really stretching his efforts like a political fishing expedition.

Finally they have ONLY been accused, but NOT tried and convicted.

But after striking out for 18 months I can see how the Kasich-Kristol-Kevin faction gets Boehners over this type innings.
