Paul Manafort's residence raided by FBI last month!

The home of Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, was raided by FBl agents in July, The Washington Post reports. A Manafort spokesman confirmed the raid to ABCNews "FBI agents executed a search warrant at one of Mr. Manafort's residences," he said in a statement. "Mr. Manafort has consistently cooperated with law enforcement and other serious inquiries and did so on this occasion as well 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 campaign's ties to Russia. One day before the raid, Manafort met with Senate Intelligence Committee investigators to discuss a meeting of a Russian lawyer and members of Trump's campaign team that took place during the 2016 presidential election. Manafort spokesman Jason Maloni said the former campaign chairman "answered their questions fully." On July 27, Manafort retroactively registered as a foreign agent thanks to $17.1 million his firm was paid from 2012 to 2014 for lobbying work he did on behalf of a pro-Russian political party in Ukraine Manafort ran Trump's campaign in 2016 from March to August, when he resigned after questions were raised about that work. Last week, special counsel Robert Mueller, who's leading the Russia investigation, impaneled a grand jury, which will be based in Washington, D.C. Grand juries can be used as legal tools in cases where there is the possibility of criminal conduct, but this doesn't necessarily signify criminal charges will be brought. Trump has maintained that the Russia investigation is a "witch hunt," despite several officials - including Christopher Wray, his pick to replace James Comey as FBl director, and Sen. John Thune (R-SD.)-saying otherwise.

Real Estate is rife with money laundering

I asked Ross Delston, a D.C. attorney and anti-money-laundering expert, what a law-abiding developer in Manhattan, say, is legally required to do to make sure the anonymous buyer of a $50 million penthouse is not Vladimir Putin or the Sinaloa Cartel a law-abiding say,is legally equired to do to maliesnig "Nothing," Delston answered. Loopholes in U.S. regulations serve to "carve out an area that money launderers use all the time: high- end real estate," Delston said. So flagrant is the flood of soiled money in this age of kleptocracies and digital mobsters that the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has identified a half-dozen U.S. real estate markets for heightened scrutiny. New York is on the list, and South Florida, as well as the Bay Area, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Antonio. The Trump Organization is active in at least half of these markets.

Trump's lawyer's words for Mueller.

But Dowd said that the president has no problems with Mueller and that all communications between the White House and the special counsel have been proper. "We get along well with Bob Mueller; our communications have been constructive," he told USA Todav. "But it is important that our communications remain confidential. It's important that there not be any breakdown in that trust."

Trump wants Mueller gone. Republicans complacent.

If Trump isindeed planning an assault on Mueller and his team, Capitol Hil Republicans are uniquely positioned to make the president back down. And yet so far, the reaction from most GOP lawmakers has been somewhat muted and muffled "They should declare that firing the special counsel would cross a red line that would draw the full weight of Congress's powers to check the executive," said Austin Evers, executive director of legal watchdog group American Oversight.

Carter Page was under FISA by 2014

Page had been the subject of a secret intelligence surveillance warrant since 2014, earlier than had been previously reported, US officials briefed on the probe told CNN. When information emerged last summer suggesting that the Russians were attempting to cultivate Page as a way to gain an entrée into the Trump campaign, the FBI renewed its interest in him. Initially, FBI counterintelligence investigators saw the campaign as possible victims being targeted by Russian intelligence. Page denies working with any Russians as part of the Kremlin's election meddling, though he admits interacting with some Russians during the campaign.

Paul Manafort is quite the target

In the summer of 2016, US intelligence agencies noticed a spate of curious contacts between Trump campaign associates and suspected Russian intelligence, according to current and former US officials briefed on the investigation. James Comey, in his Senate testimony, said the FBI opened an investigation into Trump campaign-Russia connections in July 2016. The strand of the two investigations began to merge. In the months that followed, investigators turned up intercepted communications appearing to show efforts by Russian operatives to coordinate with Trump associates on damaging Hillary Clinton's election prospects, officials said. CNN has learned those communications included references to campaign chairman Paul Manafort
