Manafort strikes me somewhere between a slimy politician-type, and a mob boss. And we all know the skeletons hiding in slimy politician-type's closets.
Thus, being the good, slimy politician-types themselves, those conducting this "Russia Investigation" recognize one of their own, and thus did everything they could to get this warrant...in the hopes they could dig a little something extra up, with which to pin on ol' Manny and get him to "flip" on someone higher up the Trump food chain.
Maybe it will work...lots of maybes in this investigation to date...
