Former FBI agent: With the Cohen/Manafort raids, Mueller is treating them like drug dealers
or terrorists. Not like people who can be trusted to respond to subpoenas.

What is perhaps most telling about this action is that the special counsel, and by extension, the SDNY, had no compulsion about executing a search warrant on the President's personal counsel.

Clearly, the use of a search warrant rather than a subpoena in this instance is another indicator that the special counsel’s prosecutors and investigators (and, now those of the SDNY and FBI New York) don't trust a word the clowns in the Trump administration are telling them.
These prosecutors and investigators don't trust them — and are playing hardball, like they would with a drug dealer or a terrorist, not because they don't like the subject-in-chief or his minions, or because they have a bias against them, but because that trust was long ago violated.
As a result, Trump and company get to face the wrath of a federal investigation scorned. Truth is, it's their own damned fault. If I were in their shoes, I should think I'd be peeing my pants, too.
