Special counsel Robert Mueller just took the gloves off.
A new report detailing a pre-dawn raid at the home of a key Trump ally by FBI agents armed with a wide-ranging search warrant is intended to send a message.
The Washington Post reports:
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.
The raid came as 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.
….
Manafort’s allies fear that Mueller hopes to build a case against Manafort unrelated to the 2016 campaign, in hopes that the former campaign operative would provide information against others in Trump’s inner circle in exchange for lessening his own legal exposure.
This high-pressure tactic appears to come from a member of Mueller’s team – Andrew Weissmann, who Reuters described as “a veteran federal prosecutor” known for “persuading witnesses to turn on friends, colleagues, and superiors.”
Weissmann was a key prosecutor in the Enron scandal.
At the time he was brought on Mueller’s team, Reuters also noted:
Critics have said say Weissmann’s hardball approach can lead to prosecutorial overreach. A number of Enron convictions were overturned on appeal . . .
Defense lawyer Tom Kirkendall, who represented clients related to the Enron case, said the task force intimidated witnesses and misinterpreted the law.
With an investigation team designed to bring down a president, Trump won’t have the benefit of overturning his “conviction” on appeal.
This latest development may be just the latest sign the Deep State is ramping up its efforts to take down Trump for good.
So why can’t the Prez fire him? I wouldn’t care what it looked like if I was Pres Trump, he would be gone and under investigation. Although he would probably end up dead before he could rat out the Clintons. Term limits are the only way to keep this country free.
The wise people would see this is a witch hunt by liberals and clinton people to discredit the president at all cost. We are spending hard earned american money on this nonsense. We have 21 attorneys paying them 100,000 a year and to try to prove there point and that is all. Americans are hurting from Harvey to Maria to vegas and were spending american money on this nonsense. We need to fire Mueller and his cronies and divert money to where it is needed.
I keep saying that Mueller was originally hired by Obama which means he is an Obama worshipper! Someone should have stopped him from doing any investigation against Trump since there is definitely a ‘conflict of interest’! Additionally, Mueller hired all Democrat faithful lawyers to bee part of the team! There was no need to get a Grand Jury since NO crime has been found of collusion with Russians and recently an independent investigation documented ‘nothing found against Trump regarding collusion with Russians’! That was the only subject that the ‘investigation’ was started. It apparently now confirmed “no collusion”. Mueller cannot continue to hold the investigation until someone finds something / anything on Trump! This investigation needs to be closed even if the Democrats (Marxists)don’t like it!
MULLAH MUELLER WORKED FOR OBAMA. THE ONLY PRESIDENT TO PAY TERRORISTS CASH TO KILL AMERICANS. 2,000 KILLED AND 20,000 WOUNDED DURING OBAMA’S RAIN AND HE FLEW THE CASH TO KILL INTO IRAN FASTER THAN A BENGHAZI RESCUE.
Did Obama & Hillary trade our embassy for Bin Ladin? so Obama could get the next election. Where are the Bengazi emails. Muller is afraid of Hillary cartel. The death list should have been investigated years ago 132 plus. An American man in Arkansas has the list of names, the KKK was paid to start the problem in VA, against Pres. Trump. Maxine Waters needs to be careful, I heard she has $200,000 in Globel Inv., so do Russians.
Really stupid – don’t they know President Trump has the power to pardon?
They’re just wasting time and resources that could be better used elsewhere.
This is just the same old BS that has gone on every time a Repub gets in office, if they would investigate the Demorats most of our useless gov would be impeached and in prison. FIRE the rat bastard now and imprison Killary and Omuslime
I think Mueller quest for discovery has exceeded what the objective
was in this investigation. To seek out for discovery Real Estate transactions for 10 years prior is excessive breach of what the investigation is trying to find out. What significance is 10 years prior private Real Estate leasing to foreign business men/women regardless if these individuals were from Russia or not? Trump and his business dealings were private in nature as he was a private business man running a real estate company that leases to many individuals from foreign countries in addition to domestic tenants. What so called collusion can be discovered from the leases?
None! This is another way to get Trump off message. The witch hunt continues!
Let’s investigate Mueller, NOW !!!!!!!!!!!
Time to fire Mueller. This Soviet style stuff.
Back in 2001 after the first jihadist attack in NY that murdered 3,000 Americans, President Bush asked Mueller to institute a tracking program of probable jihadist mass murderers; Mueller refused saying that “it would be un-American”. Then came jihadist mass murders in Boston, Orlando, Chattanooga, San Bernardino… Thank you comrade Mueller!
Sounds like he’s just delaying the time when the investigation will turn on Clinton and Obama where it should be!
BS makes the grow green!!!

He’s been a fan of the Clintons forever..He delivered Hilary’s uranium sample to moscow.Most of the lawyers on his staff sre ex Clinton foundation personnel So you know they are UNBIASED. LOL
Former FBI Director James Comey has a long history of involvement in Department of Justice actions that arguably ended up favorable to the Clintons. In 2001, following the original 9/11 mass murder by the Muslim jihadists, President Bush asked the FBI to track the movements of likely Muslim jihadists; Comey and Mueller refused that request on the basis that such tracking would be “un-American”. The jihadist mass murders of Americans in Boston, Chattanooga, Orlando, Fort Hood, and San Bernardino are therefore the direct result of that criminal refusal. In 2004 Comey, then serving as a deputy attorney general in the Justice Department, apparently limited the scope of the criminal investigation of Sandy Berger, which left out former Clinton administration officials who may have coordinated with Berger in his removal and destruction of classified records from the National Archives. The documents were relevant to the accusations that the Clinton administration was negligent in the build-up to the 9/11 terrorist attack. Back a year or two ago, FBI director Comey announced that despite the evidence of “extreme negligence” by Hillary Clinton and her top aides regarding the handling of classified information through her unprotected private email server, the FBI would not refer criminal charges to Attorney General Loretta Lynch and the Justice Department since it was just a case of innocent negligence. Imagine a similar finding of the Nuremberg trials of the Nazi criminals: “Well – yes, Goebbels did order that 6 million Jews be exterminated – but he really did not mean it, so let him go free with an appropriate government pension”. And now those two criminals – Comey and Mueller – are “investigating” Russian influence in the Trump electoral victory???
not a witch hunt , it’s a lynch mob, even worse then star trek , going where no one has gone before , so how many more people will he investigate and come up empty , it’s bin a half dozen already
Mueller is ALL IN on a false investigation and a conspiracy to unseat the President.
I hope he’s fired very soon and prosecuted.
Mueller needs to GO!!!!! He is Not American!!!
Now he is going into peoples businesses!! WHY is he flooding his team with Hitlary and Odummy personnel!!!

Mueller could get so much more done if he would go after Obama or Hillary or Lynch!
Not in his playbook!
I guess it would depend on what he finds. And it assumes that there is evidence of something regarding Trump. Manafort is not Trump by the way.
Mueller needs to go.. wasting americans tax money..
Right HDMania….someone needs to ‘shit-can’ the LibTurd Trump hater….I still think that weasel Rodenstein is looking for self glory and wants to take Trump out also!!
