FBI conducted predawn raid of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manaforts home in July
Federal agents appeared at Manaforts Virginia home without advance warning in the early hours of July 26, the day after he met voluntarily with the staff for the Senate Intelligence Committee as part of a probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, people with knowledge of the investigation said.
The search warrant was wide-ranging, and FBI agents working with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III departed with various records. The raid came as Manafort had been voluntarily providing documents to congressional committees as part of the investigation. The search warrant indicates investigators may have argued to a federal judge they had reason to believe Manafort could not be trusted to turn over all records in response to a grand jury subpoena.

To use colloquial parlance that's some gangsta shit.

The so-called no-knock warrant, which was first reported by The Washington Post, was served at Manafort's home in Washington's northern Virginia suburbs on July 26, the day after Manafort met with Senate intelligence committee investigators.

OP
Remember, Manafort's kids implied that he literally had people murdered in Ukraine

Does it matter? Even if they knocked Manafort wouldn't have time to get rid of evidence...

Whether it was a no knock or not, I am sure that the battering ram made a knocking sound several

I'd guess anything incriminating is long gone. Also means Manafort isnt cooperating
