As the president's improvised threats against an unstable totalitarian regime push the world closer to the brink of nuclear war, The Washington Post has tantalizing new details on Robert Mueller's investigation that might one day result, God willing, in America's weapons of mass destruction being controlled by someone other than Donald Trump: Two weeks ago, the FBI reportedly raided the Virginia home of former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort, seizing "documents and other materials" in a predawn operation that occurred just a day after his closed-door interview with the Senate Intelligence Committee. In a probably-entirely-unrelated story, President Trump had some very mean things to say about the FBI that day.

The Post reports that Manafort "cooperated" with law enforcement during the search, which sounds like a polite way of saying that he opened the door so as to avoid risking any dramatic, COPS-style damage to his presumably expensive front door.

Given that he has already voluntarily turned over some of the goods—including his notes from the infamous meeting at which the president's eldest and dumbest son attempted to score damaging information on Hillary Clinton from purported representatives of the Russian government—to various investigative entities, why would the FBI feel the need to make an early-morning house call? Because Mueller and company, to use a legal phrase, apparently don't trust a single thing that man says.
