- FBI conducted predawn raid of former Trump campaign chairman Manaforts home
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/fbi-conducted-predawn-raid-of-former-trump-campaign-chairman-manaforts-home/2017/08/09/5879fa9c-7c45-11e7-9d08-b79f191668ed_story.html?tid=ss_tw-amp&utm_term=.3ef7f1551d19
FBI agents raided the Alexandria home of President Trump's former campaign chairman late last month, using a search warrant to seize documents and other materials, according to people familiar with the special counsel investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Federal agents appeared at Paul Manafort's home without advance warning in the predawn hours of July 26, the day after he met voluntarily with the staff for the Senate Intelligence Committee. The search warrant was wide-ranging and FBI agents working with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III departed the home with various records. The raid came as Manafort has been voluntarily producing documents to congressional committees investigating Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election. 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. It could also have been intended to send a message to President Trump's former campaign chairman that he should not expect gentle treatment or legal courtesies from Mueller's team.

Wonder how this would be reported on if it were happening in, say, a South American country. I think people in a certain south american country would be partying if the federal government was raiding the homes of people who supported and assisted with the dictator's rise to power. |
It's interesting to note the raid was done last month. Just goes to show you how well Mueller's team can keep FBI raids under the radar when Trump can't even keep simple comments from leaking to the press.

The documents included materials Manafort had already provided to Congress, said people familiar with the search. So they didn't find anything he hadn't already voluntarily turned over, and this was mainly a symbolic gesture. Been several months and hundreds of thousands of words about Russia, and still not one single, credible thread of wrongdoing. Almost staggering.

Again, this is nothing. Manafort may be the only person in trouble and that was due to lying to the FBI and Trump. If this were anything serious we'd of know about it ages ago.

You do realize that statement doesn't mean the only documents found were the ones he already handed over, correct? Nice spin attempt though |

if you seriously believe Trump has any hope whatsoever of getting re-elected, then you have no chance in life. Half this board was saying this a year ago, just swapping a re-elected for elected. Remind me how that turned out again? I didn't think Trump was going to win either, but I wasn't stupid enough to make a declaration like this. And it's even less excusable to be stupid enough to continue to make arrogant declarations like this when you've literally been wrong about everything up to now.

k darkfire posted... Sad. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/8/4/16085892/trump-support-battleground-districts Close congressional districts are close because they contain an even mix of people from both sides of the aisle. Opinions about the president are extremely polarized by political affiliation — among Republicans and right-leaning independents, the Trump approval rate remains well over 80 percent. Among Democrats and left-leaning independents, the approval rate is less than 10 percent. [...] |

People should at least learn their lesson after spewing "I know it will never happen!" talk and then absolutely eating crow. The saddest part is the election is basically 4 years away. But, sure, I'll listen to some leftists about how he will never win again and it's impossible

One year after he got exposed and broke headlines. Over a year after that Eastern European dictator self-exiled and someone rifled through his financial records to find Manafort on his pay roll?
We're really on a ball here, aren't we? Seems like this should have happened a year ago and didn't because people didn't want to mess with the election. A year later though, are we sure this isn't just for show?

Are you suggesting that the few Republicans who regret voting for him can't have their opinions changed over several years?
Trump can't gain anymore popularity within those years?
Making an absolute statement like that this early in the game is pretty foolish. But, then again, so is continuing to double down on Trump losing after he continued to prove everyone wrong.

Here's a more recent poll on Trump's approval among Republicans
https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2017-08-08/trump-says-his-base-is-stronger-than-ever-but-polls-show-strong-approval-slipping
In the survey taken Aug. 3-6, the number of Republicans who say they strongly approve of Trump's job performance has dropped to 59 percent, 14 points down from February.
The drop is significantly driven by disillusionment among whites without a college degree, a group that was key to Trump's victory in November. In February, 47 percent of non-college whites said they strongly approved of the president's job performance; now, just 35 percent say the same.
When taking into account all respondents, Trump's strong approval in August is 24 percent, a drop of 9 points from February. Meanwhile, 47 percent say they disapprove strongly, a figure that has increased 4 points in the first six months of Trump's presidency.
...
Even it if decreasing in fervency, Trump's support among Republicans remains relatively normal, with 83 percent of Republicans saying they approve of the president's job performance in the latest CNN poll.
But some research indicates those numbers may also be softer than they appear.
A working paper published by Emory University suggests that party identification may be artificially inflating Trump's support among Republicans, in that those who previously identified as Republicans may stop doing so over their disapproval of Trump. The paper cites Gallup data finding a 4-point drop in the Republican Party identification since the election – people who the polls would "miss" because they don't track how individuals' opinions change over time.
tl;dr: still quite good, but it has declined since the election, and so has the number of people who identify as Republicans.
