FBI Raid Happening Now in VA

[Sophiegirl]

This is being reported on the local television news.

The warrant was served out of the Eastern District Virginia Court. The same one that issued the Manafort warrant.

I haven’t found anything online about this yet. Large FBI presence and multiple boxes being removed from a condominium in Sterling VA.

I will update as more info comes out.

ETA: So far the only online mention of this is by FOX.

15. Only 9 min away from Trump Golf

46900 block of courtyard square

[Yonnie3]

20. I was looking at the map too.

About 4.4 miles on the road and 2 miles in a helicopter. I've worked events at that course, and the townhouses at Courtyard Square are not at all like the houses near the club.

23. Here are the surrounding neighbors if that isn't the correct address

[Yonnie3]

22. Tax records show ...

The owners mailing address is not at Courtyard Square, but in MCLEAN VA. I'm not posting owners name etc.

I'm guessing this would be a rental.

[bathroommonkey76]

24. Did you look up the owners names

to see if they have a Trump/Kushner connection?

[Yonnie3]

25. Yes.

Nothing at all on those Asian names. Since I don't know if the address is correct, I don't want to go too far. One report said FBI was in and out of other units.

[Arazi]

27. Yes, they're Chinese. I can DM you if you want since there seems to be some reticence about posting

Edited to add I did DM you the names fyi

[bathroommonkey76]

32. Thank you.

[wallyworld2]

43. Nothing says FBI

Like a broken down front door, nobody move, someone calling out 'this is the FBI' and last but not least.
Knock Knock, who's there.......

[Cryptoad]

47. Welcome to DU,,,,,Comrade!

[XRubicon]

19. Hmmmm

wonder what this could be...

[spinbaby]

29. Could be entirely unrelated

The FBI is probably working on cases not connected to Trump.

26. More from a local Fox affiliate

STERLING, Va. - The FBI is conducting a raid in a Northern Virginia neighborhood on Friday.

Aerial footage from SkyFox showed police activity taking place in the 46900 block of Courtyard Square in Sterling.

“At this time we can only confirm that there is court authorized law enforcement activity in Sterling, Virginia,” an FBI spokesperson said in a statement.

No further information was given by authorities at this time.

FOX 5's Cori Coffin reports that FBI agents along with members of the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office and Virginia State Police were going in and out of a home on the street. There is also a mobile unit stationed in the area with FBI agents inside. Several law enforcement members were seen bringing items and boxes from the home.

A neighbor told FOX 5 that a family moved into the home where the raid is taking place about a month ago.

[bathroommonkey76]

36. Yep

There's no need to post anymore.

I doubt this is Trump related. lol

[Frustratedlady]

37. That's dated tomorrow.

Any idea what that means? Defective equipment? What would that have to do with VA Admin.? Strange

[Yonnie3]

41. cryptic post

Gotta love them cryptic posts.

VA is most likely Virginia as the VA doesn't have courts. Defective equipment is a very common motor vehicle violation in Virginia. Possibly this is a record of that ticket. So ... someone, who may or may not own, the Townhouse being searched may have gotten a ticket for a broken taillight or something or other.

[Frustratedlady]

42. Yes, I understand the defective equipment, but that wouldn't call for the FBI

Sounds like it isn't something we were wishing for. False alarm.

Thanks

[HDSam]

51. Defective equipment

was the reason to conduct a traffic stop resulting in a vehicle search that produced evidence or information sufficient to obtain a search warrant.

Just a guess and I am not an attorney.

[FreeState]

34. Address us a very inexpensive property

https://www.redfin.com/VA/Sterling/46930-Courtyard-Sq-20164/home/11948525

(edit: typo rental property)

[ClarendonDem]

35. My first thought was

MS-13, which is a real problem in NoVa and Maryland.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

38. I agree it is, and Trump has mentioned MS-13 a lot, but....

Do you ever get the feeling that Trump's opposition to MS-13 is really in furtherance of the interests of Russian organized crime?

[ClarendonDem]

39. Never thought of it that way

Just know that, as a NoVa resident, MS-13 has experienced a resurgence here.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

53. My S-I-L lives in Frederick MD and says much the same

But I've heard a lot about the Russian mob - money laundering, human trafficking, and brutal violence - El Presidente doesn't say squat.

[Leghorn21]

49. I sure dont know about that, Al - but what I wonder is, if the FBI has indeed rolled up some

MS-15 bad hombres, is LOSER45 going to publicly thank them?! “Tremendous work by our FBI, believe me!”- ?!

[getagrip_already]

45. Dont think its gangs if only fbi.....

They would bring along dea and local swat.

This sounds white collar, not violent crime or terror related.

[Omnivore]

50. I agree, prob not gangs

Agents were walking out with laptops and boxes of papers. Don't think that would be the focus if it was MS-13.

[George II]

40. Sterling is about 20 miles northwest of Washington.

55. WJLA/ABC7 not adding much more info to report ...

FBI conducts raid at Sterling, Virginia home

by Tom Roussey/ABC7
Friday, December 29th 2017

STERLING, Va. (ABC7) — The FBI and other law enforcement spent hours raiding a condominium Friday in a Loudoun County neighborhood.

The raid took place at a home in the Chatham Green Condominiums in the 46900 block of Courtyard Square in Sterling.

The FBI has not said what it's investigating, only confirming that they were carrying out “court authorized law enforcement activity” based on a federal warrant coming out of the Eastern District of Virginia.

FBI agents took boxes and other items from the home and left around 7:30 p.m. after neighbors told ABC7 they arrived in the afternoon.

Neighbors said that at least one man and one woman who they say dressed "Middle Eastern" moved into the home a few months ago. Neighbors said the man would wear a long black robe and had a long beard, while the woman wore a burqa.
