Wow. Former Austrian chancellor Alfred Gusenbauer was part of Paul Manafort’s lobbying campaign on behalf of Viktor Yanukovych, according to new filings made public by special counsel Robert Mueller. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/23/paul-manafort-mueller-probe-washington-lobbying-ukraine-austria-423439 …

Even if this is true, Mueller's sloppy handling of the Manafort investigation, exceeding his special counsel authority, pulling Manafort out of bed at gunpoint, searching his wife (in night gown) for weapons, etc., is likely going to cause the whole cause to be thrown out.
Really? Did a pundit on Fox News say that? </sarcasm> The FBI is investigating Manafort since 2014. Among other things they had enough on him to get a FISA warrant. They even had enough to convince a judge to issue a warrant for a no-knock raid, which they lawfully executed.

And now Rick Gates plead guilty and agreed to cooperate. This is not going away! No amount of "alternative facts" will change that. But look, whatever I say is obviously not going to convince you of anything. So let's just wait and see how it all plays out.

Your ignorance of the FISA court is showing. (See wikipedia) FISA warrants are not criminal warrants, nor could they be. The fact of a FISA warrant is therefore not evidence of a crime, but more likely an abuse of the court. But, yes, we'll see how this plays out.

To get a FISA warrant against a US citizen ("United States person") the law enforcement agency must convince the judge that there is reason to believe the target was knowingly engaging in clandestine intelligence activities for a foreign power that violate American criminal laws.
