Mueller's Manafort Mistake
By Douglas V. Gibbs

If anybody knows if Russia, Russia, Russia did what the Democrats say they did when it comes to manipulating the 2016 Presidential Election that put billionaire Donald J. Trump into the White House, surely Trump’s campaign manager who was let go before the ride ended, Paul John Manafort Jr. would know. The man is a lifelong Republican, having been an adviser for the U.S. presidential campaigns of GOP candidates Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Bob Dole; so in the eyes of the Democrats, he’s got to be dirty. Besides, he’s already considered to be dangerous because of his business dealings with Ukraine, while he was lobbying for Ukraine.
“These failures by Special Counsel to exhaust less intrusive methods is a fatal flaw in the warrant process and would call for a Motion to Suppress the fruits of the search,” Dowd wrote, arguing the required “necessity” of the warrant was “misrepresented to the Court which raises a host of issues involving the accuracy of the warrant application and the supporting FBI affidavit.”
Dowd also said agents seized “privileged and confidential materials prepared for Mr. Manafort by his counsel to aid him in his cooperation with the Congressional committees.”
Dowd said the FBI went too far by executing a search warrant at Manafort’s home.
“Thus, it appears the Search Warrant here was obtained by a gross abuse of the judicial process by the Special Counsel’s office. In addition, given the obvious unlawful deficiencies, this extraordinary invasive tool was employed for its shock value to try to intimidate Mr. Manafort and bring him to his needs. These methods are normally found and employed in Russia not America.”
The special counsel’s office declined to comment.
Manafort’s home was raided in late July of this year, one day after he met voluntarily with members of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
The search warrant seems to indicate that investigators may have had reason to believe Manafort could not be trusted to turn over all of the records sought, The Washington Post reported.
Manafort resigned as Trump’s campaign manager in August 2016 amid questions regarding his business dealings in Ukraine. Special Counsel Robert Mueller has taken over a criminal investigation into Manafort’s financial dealings, which began even before the 2016 election, as he probes Russian meddling in the campaign and possible coordination with Trump associates.
What they are doing is squeezing Manafort, making him feel nervous that he can’t be trusted, and the Ukraine investigation is already there and making him nervous, so they are pulling out the bright light and hot room, hoping to pull out of him information he may know that they can use against President Trump. Likely, they will give him a deal. ”Tell us something that will help us finish off Trump, and your Ukraine investigation goes away.”
