No kidding!
It must have dawned on them that they may not be able to lie their way around this? If they went after Manafort, then no one else in the Trump inner circle is safe from FBI inspection.
No doubt, Manafort felt pretty secure that he could lie and bluff his way around the investigation, just as he has done for the last 30 or so years. One can imagine the surprise when early in the morning, someone knocked on his bedroom door and outside stood 12 FBI agents with flak jackets, just in case someone might open fire? "Let me call my lawyer" would have been one of his earliest thoughts.
How many in the White House started shredding documents? How much did Manafort know? How much did he tell the FBI?
Two of the most "rattled", besides Trump himself, were probably Jared Kushner and Don Jr? The idea that the same might happen to them?
With all the news in the last couple of days, Donald Trump must be feeling somewhat desperate today. He can become very unpredictable when he feels the pressure. He wants to strike back at someone - just as he tried to strike back at North Korea with his inflammatory comments. The Manafort raid and the continuing threat of Bob Mueller must be occupying his mind considerably?
