The Vise Is Closing on Manafort

Former Trump Campaign Manager to Be Indicted

Reports surfaced today that Robert Mueller, the special investigator for the Russia probe, intends to indict Paul Manafort, former campaign chairman for Donald Trump.

Also surfacing today are reports that the FISA court granted warrants to wiretap Manafort because of the CIA's severe concerns about Manafort's Russia contacts, long before he became Trump's campaign chairman.  This suggests that evidence against Manafort is already on tape in the form of intelligence intercepts.

FBI agents picked the lock of Manafort's home and knocked on his bedroom door before removing documents and copying computer files, back in June.  For a FISA court order to grant this extraordinary power, Mueller must have had good evidence of a serious crime, and reason to believe that Manafort would destroy the evidence.

Again, Trump's former campaign manager has been notified that he will be indicted.  The pressure is ratcheting up on Trump and his cronies, the traitors who sold out the US to its Russian enemies.
