Court filing highlights breadth of Mueller's investigation into Manafort

Federal prosecutors’ investigation into Paul Manafort’s financial dealings was enormous in scope, with FBI agents executing at least 15 search warrants and assembling a trove of hundreds of thousands of records related to the case, according to details in a new court filing.

Prosecutors said that, by Monday, Manafort’s defense attorneys will have electronic copies of “400,000 items,” such as emails, bank and tax records, and documents from vendors Manafort allegedly paid with some of the money, and images of 36 electronic devices such as laptops, phones and thumb drives.

Mueller’s team said that because the amount of materials in the legal discovery process is so great, the prosecution has tried to flag the most significant records.

“Given the volume of discovery in this case, the government also produced to defendants certain documents that it identified as ‘hot,’” prosecutors said, with about 2,000 records in that category.

They didn't just dump the data letting them wade through it. They told them what was suspicious, so the defense can't say later they didn't have, or couldn't find the information.
