There WAS wiretapping at Trump Tower: FBI eavesdropped on Russian money-laundering ring [tr]
Daily Mail ^

When President Donald Trump angrily tweeted earlier this month that there was wiretapping going on in Trump Tower, he was not mistaken, as it turns out.

Between 2011 and 2013, the FBI had a court-approved warrant to monitor a Russian money-laundering ring that was operating out of unit 63A in Trump Tower, just three floors below the real estate mogul's gilded penthouse, reported ABC News.

The federal investigation led to an indictment of 30 suspects, many who whom were captured during a raid on their swanky Manhattan hideout, but the alleged mastermind of the criminal organization, notorious Russian mafia boss Alimzhan Tokhtakhunov, was able to slip away.

Daily Mail and some others are rolling with this VERY OLD story toadying it's getting some hits on Disgracebook. One of my liberal Disgracebook "friends" is peeing his pants with excitement this morning... he thinks he's got the big scoop!

Thought I'd share it here for Freepers to educate themselves on the matter.

Liberal twits will use this non-story as ammo - don't let them! Or at least ignore and it'll fade away as it should.

Probably what they used to get approval to spy on the landlord and his employees.

Dont know if operation dragnet was real...but seems plausible

All of this bullshit is about Obama. The Deep State’s current objective is to shield Obama from further scrutiny and due process because he is vulnerable to the ‘mother of all unmaskings’.

Many, many people and businesses either bought or rented space in Trump Tower.

The libtards can pee their pants with glee all they want; it means nothing.

It doesn’t matter what is discovered now. Check the Demoncrat “news” sites: it’s already out there that “Trump lied about Obama wiretapping him.” That’s the narrative, and since they write the narrative, they’re sticking to it. The CIA/Demonrat complex owns the media, the courts, the schools, the universities, the culture, and all major social media providers. They will lie good and hard all day long, and people will lap it up.

And people want to -with a straight face mind you- try to say that one or more of Obama's minions did NOT try to piggyback on this Trump Tower wiretap to surveil the Trump campaign? Please! That doesn't pass the laugh test.

So how is Comey running the current investigation without surveillance?

Also the FBI missed the Clintons taking bribes.
Hundreds of millions in bribes. Missed it somehow....
