WBAL- Website: Firm was formerly associated with firm operated by Paul Manafort

This a new video from WBAL in Baltimore.



ANNAPOLIS, Md. —
FBI agents executed a search warrant Thursday at an office of a GOP fundraising/consulting firm in Annapolis that has ties to President Donald Trump's former campaign manager, the 11 News I-Team has learned.

The investigation is being run out of Washington, not locally, the I-Team has learned. The Washington FBI office said the investigation, including the raid, is being done with “fierce coordination.”

The FBI used trash bags to cover a window at the third-floor offices of Strategic Campaign Group at 191 Main St. Two agents, with FBI on their body armor, started to tape trash bags over the glass door blocking out any view of what is going on inside. One of the agents had a side arm, one was wearing blue surgical gloves.

The FBI is not saying what the warrant is for.

The state's Republican Party said the raid concerns fundraising questions in a previous political race.

I believed them at first, but this Manafort connection is too big to ignore.

I'll be on that list with you. If Manafort ever touched anything in that office, there's probably buried dirt in the files, and maybe a body somewhere.

I wonder how many Republicans in the house and Senate were tied to this group? And if that might be the reason Republicans such as Numes and Sen Burr are acting so squirrelly?
