Manafort case should be chilling for anyone interested in political freedom

Lex's extensive take on PDJT’s UN speech
All of the right people are PO'd, so I’d say it was a home run.

Worst Case: The Deep State entering people’s homes with guns drawn
In a nation where 20% of college “students” think that it’s okay to use violence to shut down free speech on campus, this should surprise no one.  While serving a no-knock warrant, the FBI picked the lock of PDJT’s one time campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and entered his home.  Picking the lock may be nothing more than a safety measure for the agents as it lessens the likelihood of the home-owner opening fire on the unannounced intruders I suppose, but it just seems wrong in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

This is what we’ve become: armed agents of the government storming into the home of a political opponent in an effort to intimidate him into turning states evidence.  My sense is that this was nothing more than an intimidation move, because Manafort isn’t Shrillda the Hutt.  He and his lawyers know that if any evidence that the FBI was interested in “disappeared,” he and the lawyers would be in serious trouble.  Claiming that there was “no intent” would be no defense.  That means there were no exigent circumstances for getting anything out of Manafort’s home.  So why go to these extraordinary means to get inside?  Intimidation seems the most likely answer to me.

We’ve seen this before from the Dopes.  Remember the “John Doe” warrants issued by the Dope WI Attorney General against conservative supporters of Governor Walker?

All of this would seem a lot less suspicious if were being applied across the political spectrum.  It isn’t.  The FBI treated Shrillda the Hutt and her entire team with kid gloves. The FBI interviewed the Hutt without putting her under oath and only after interviewing her lawyer who they gave immunity.  So the Hutt went into her interview only after her lawyer had the questions and received immunity for her answers from the FBI.  That’s a sweet deal Manafort would never be offered.

It’s all deep state BS.  PDJT knows.  Paul Manafort probably knows it.  Any hope the FBI had of turning Manafort ended the night PDJT pardoned Joe Arpio.  That was a pretty clear signal to all that the Dopes puling the strings of the deep state to criminalize politics would not fly with PDJT. George W. Bush let Scooter Libby go to jail for nothing.  PDJT is not likely to do that to his friends.  In my book, that’s good enough reason alone to like the guy.

If you wanted to dive the Lefty Libs over the cliff, you’d be hoping for an indictment of Manafort and a quick pardon by PDJT.  That’d be hilarious to watch.  While issuing the pardon, PDJT would cite the “lack of any intent” on Manafort’s part.  The irony would be totally lost on the Lefty Libs as their seething rage melted them like the Wicked Witch, or better yet the Nazi in the Raiders of the Lost Ark.  It’d be more fun to watch than a good movie, which sadly they do not make anymore.
