That's the way they always do raids.

with witnesses that are cooperating? Seems the whole point of this "raid" was intimidation

You're assuming he was cooperating.

Yet Another Major Russia Story Falls Apart. Is Skepticism Permissible Yet? | The Intercept

But this is no isolated incident. Quite the contrary: this has happened over and over and over again. Inflammatory claims about Russia get mindlessly hyped by media outlets, almost always based on nothing more than evidence-free claims from government officials, only to collapse under the slightest scrutiny, because they are entirely lacking in evidence.

The examples of such debacles when it comes to claims about Russia are too numerous to comprehensively chronicle. I wrote about this phenomenon many times and listed many of the examples, the last time in June when 3 CNN journalists “resigned” over a completely false story linking Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci to investigations into a Russian investment fund which the network was forced to retract

Remember that time the Washington Post claimed that Russia had hacked the U.S. electricity grid, causing politicians to denounce Putin for trying to deny heat to Americans, only to have to issue multiple retractions because none of that ever happened? Or the time that the Post had to publish a massive editor’s note after its reporters made claims about Russian infiltration of the internet and spreading of “Fake News” based on an anonymous group’s McCarthyite blacklist that counted sites like the Drudge Report and various left-wing outlets as Kremlin agents?

Or that time when Slate claimed that Trump had created a secret server with a Russian bank, all based on evidence that every other media outlet which looked at it were too embarrassed to get near? Or the time the Guardian was forced to retract its report by Ben Jacobs – which went viral – that casually asserted that WikiLeaks has a long relationship with the Kremlin? Or the time that Fortune retracted suggestions that RT had hacked into and taken over C-SPAN’s network? And then there’s the huge market that was created – led by leading Democrats – that blindly ingested every conspiratorial, unhinged claim about Russia churned out by an army of unhinged conspiracists such as Louise Mensch and Claude “TrueFactsStated” Taylor?

And now we have the Russia-hacked-the-voting-systems-of-21-states to add to this trash heap. Each time the stories go viral; each time they further shape the narrative; each time those who spread them say little to nothing when it is debunked

every article I've read so far says he was cooperating. Until someone proves otherwise I'll go with it.

It’s the left trying to divide. It’s what they do.

Perhaps you've not paid sufficient attention to the lousy human being who is our president. He's made divisiveness his speciality.

because the country was super-unified under Obama

Manafort is a ginormous sleaze, like Trump and many in his cabinet. I can only hope the feds are putting the squeeze on him and Flynn and a few others.

ironic the leader of fake news has a story about fake news

because the country was super-unified under Obama

which is what a lot of the sharpies on this board like to do, only demonstrates a lack of honesty and IQ. The two men could not be more different. One is extremely intelligent and well-spoken, mature, thoughtful, respectful of the rule of law and the office of the president...and the other is Donald Trump. Seriously, trying to lump Obama with Trump in any way is just a sign of complete ignorance. The number of deceitful, stupid and illegal things that Trump has said and done is off the charts.

Please list the "many" members of Trump's cabinet who are "sleaze."

Well when you are reading the national review for info you aren't going to get anything honest. I mean just read the article you posted. It's a giant hit job. It's as bad as using a HuffPo article

Freak needs more bandwidth.

Nothing off the top of the head? The way you talk about him I figured you might have something.

Probably easier listing the ones who aren't.

 

[Boston Vol]

Probably easier listing the ones who aren't.

Well go ahead and do it.

The Cambridge police acted stupidly.

You didn’t build that.

Clinging to guns and religion.

Now let me be clear.

Don't you see, according to the Obamabots he was just being honest not divisive.

Investigation has gone off the rails
