According to Manafort, the employee didn\u2019t have the authority to allow a FBI agent into the unit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The motion challenges consent give to a look in the storage unit by a person who, in my attempting to read through the redactions, was the person on the lease and had a key. Manafort is described as a mere &#8220;authorized user&#8221; of the storage unit. The entry to look was thus by someone with actual authority to consent. But it was a look: no records were looked at all though the marking on the boxes were recorded and they include box marked &#8220;Ukraine binders.&#8221; The motion goes on to raise the argument this was an invalid &#8220;all records&#8221; warrant. The latter argument has more legs than the former because they &#8220;seized virtually everything from the premises.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Now we have to wait to see what the government contends in response.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Hill: Manafort challenges evidence seized by Mueller by Jacqueline Thomsen (link to motion, affidavit, and warrant):<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,7,101],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32568","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-consent","category-overbreadth","category-overseizure"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32568"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32568\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32569,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32568\/revisions\/32569"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
