Advice to Paul Manafort: Keep the Porch Light On and the Door Unlocked, it's Still Dark at 5:00 AM

You can sleep in your clothes tonight, if you want to save some time.

Shower before going to bed, you may not have time in the morning.

Watch your head getting into the car tomorrow.

And if Trump every said about you, "I barely know the guy," you should also pack a light lunch.

Then again, there's the issue of flight risk. Safe to assume the FBI is watching for last minute, one way flights to Moscow this weekend.

If you wear gold cuff links, then you can have your lawyer take you in his limosine and they don't smack you around when you get there.

"The raid, which occurred without warning on July 26, signaled an aggressive new approach by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and his team in dealing with a key figure in the Russia inquiry. Manafort has been under increasing pressure as the Mueller team looked into his personal finances and his professional career as a highly paid foreign political consultant."

Take what might possibly be your last shower for awhile.
Plans for the pets to be taken care of.
Any documents they might want on your person or in your home just put in a bag next to the door ( with cell phone. )
