I think Manafort leaked that there was a fisa warrant

That gives him cover. He can pretend someone else leaked it so it can be called illegal and maybe have a chance for it to be invalidated. Manafort is not as smart as he looks. Sorry he doesn't look smart. He looks like a Mafia Don.

Of course it is a ruse because a leak does not invalidate a F.I.S.A. warrant. Nor is it illegal.
Manafort is claiming it is.

by a bunch of FBI guys executing a no-knock warrant.

If it's taken him this long to connect those dots, he's dumber than he looks.

It seems to me the Righties wouldn't want to challenge the issuance of the warrant anyway because they support the concept of easily obtained warrants. In fact, they would support warrantless searches of Muslims.
