Pretty amazing that we just found out about the raid on Manafort's house

and it was conducted July 26. I would have thought the news of that would have become public knowledge sooner. Is it all part of the process of getting the goods on him so that he will flip? Even Judge Napolitano on FAUX said it means there is a "there there"

All those people working on it, and no leaks? Interesting. There may be more bombshells that we just haven't heard about yet.

Trump asking to have the acting FBI head removed from office.

Thanks. I thought I was losing it, which isn't too hard to do these days. Too much going on.

Search warrant returns (I read on another blog) are usually available, filed in court, some time after the raid. That's when it becomes public knowledge.

The plot thickens. Sometimes you forget that Mueller is putting together a giant puzzle behind closed doors. All we hear about is the spin and lies and deflections of Team Trump. We are probably winning this battle bigly, we just don't realize it yet.
