Det andra intressanta med CNN:s "scoop" är att räden mot Manafort inte var direkt kopplat till Ryssland vilket iaf jag trodde (jag trodde nämligen att orsaken till husrannsakningsorder var att Manafort skulle "gömma" (och bränna?

) några dokumentd om ryssmötet).

Exclusive: Mueller team's focus on Manafort spans 11 years
Citat:
The FBI's warrant for a July search of Manafort's Alexandria, Virginia, home said the investigation centered on possible crimes committed as far back as January 2006, according to a source briefed on the investigation.
Citat:
Mueller's team has warned Manafort that they are working to charge him with possible tax and financial crimes, the sources said, an indication the investigation could be in an advanced stage.
A spokesman for Manafort declined to comment.
Manafort has previously denied financial wrongdoing regarding his Ukraine-related payments, his bank accounts in offshore tax shelters, and his various real estate transactions over the years.
Justice Department prosecutors concluded last year that there wasn't enough evidence to bring charges against Manafort or any of the other US subjects in the Ukraine probe, according to sources briefed on the investigation. A spokesman for the special counsel declined to comment.
Mueller's team could be facing a deadline if they want to bring charges arising from older tax returns: The six-year statute of limitations for Manafort's taxes filed in 2011 expires October 15. They already may be too late for the years prior to 2011.
But the government could have more time depending on the exact nature of the charges that it wants to bring.
Det är också intressant att 'Justice Department prosecutors concluded last year that there wasn't enough evidence to bring charges against Manafort or any of the other US subjects in the Ukraine probe'. Undrar om det har ändrats i och med att Mueller hotade med att Manafort skulle åtalas (det har gått mer än månad sedan hans hot dock).
