Long time since I’ve blogged here. Or done anything here. But I thought this maybe merited some attention. The site itself is conservative, mostly full of crap, but the author is a reliable #NeverTrump type. Day late and dollar short. Make of it what you will.
NBC ** FBI Making Inquiry Into Ex-Trump Campaign Manager's Foreign Ties
by Ken Dilanian, Robert Windrem, William M. Arkin and Tom Winter Nov 1 2016, 2:43 am ET
The FBI has been conducting a preliminary inquiry into Donald Trump's former campaign manager ..... comes a day after Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid criticized Comey's revelation and asserted that Comey possesses "explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government."
Manafort told NBC News ... "This is all political propaganda, meant to deflect," ... An FBI inquiry is a preliminary examination that falls short of a criminal investigation. ......
"Any specifics of what the FBI or intelligence agencies may be looking at are not something that the bureau should be discussing publicly," Schiff said. "But here, where the director has discussed an investigation involving one candidate, it opens the director up to claims of bias if he doesn't discuss other potential investigations."

For this kind of info some official name needs to be on it, not just some "source" this is no joke

By that standard, every "government official stated" report in news would be buried. Deep Throat?

Not every report carries the weight this one does, tangible ties to Russia would be investigations
