It's time for a revisit. It was the first FBI raid in this journey.
ANNAPOLIS, Md.
FBI agents executed a search warrant Thursday at an office of a fundraising and consulting firm in Annapolis that works for Republican candidates and conservative causes nationwide, 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.
An FBI spokesperson said don't expect a release of documents "anytime soon."
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 firm has close ties to Republican consultant Scott B. Mackenzie, a treasurer for multiple political action committees that have drawn scrutiny for spending little money on candidates and instead steering donations to consultants, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Rogers said in an interview that he helped lead one of those groups, the Conservative Strike Force.

"The raid has fueled intense speculation about possible connections, largely because of timing. It comes right in the middle of the firestorm over the president's firing of FBI Director Jim Comey."
Comey was fired on May 10th. The raid was May 11th.
I'm wondering if they were the "funnel" for Russia.
