Exclusive: US government wiretapped former Trump campaign chairman (BREAKING!!!)
CNN.com ^ | September 18, 2017 | Evan Perez, Shimon Prokupecz and Pamela Brown

Washington (CNN)US investigators wiretapped former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort under secret court orders before and after the election, sources tell CNN, an extraordinary step involving a high-ranking campaign official now at the center of the Russia meddling probe.

The government snooping continued into early this year, including a period when Manafort was known to talk to President Donald Trump.

Some of the intelligence collected includes communications that sparked concerns among investigators that Manafort had encouraged the Russians to help with the campaign, according to three sources familiar with the investigation. Two of these sources, however, cautioned that the evidence is not conclusive.

No kidding. Like if he doesn’t appear here he won’t be seen on TV (CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, etc.) , internet sites like Yahoo, etc.

This clown and Hillary ain’t going away. What about Bill Clinton? We can’t post pictures of him either.

Good gosh.

And...NOTHING will happen. Mark my word.

Why should anyone take your word? My guess is you're projecting here.

With brown shoes, LOL.

I have one pastor friend who would wear stuff like that on TV. He definitely did that on purpose.

That actually IS a scary picture.

What you say may be true but my point was that the Hawaii governor’s statement effectively shut down any official governmental inquiry.
Dr. Orly Taitz attempted to pursue Social Security card fraud in a civil lawsuit but she was shut down by a Ronald Reagan appointed judge who summarily dismissed her lawsuit—Orly Taitz v Social Security Commissioner Michael J. Astrue: “Ever persistent, plaintiff has once again come before this Court in an effort to uncover ‘the biggest cover up in the history of this nation.’ She believes that the President is using a ‘fraudulently obtained’ social security number and that the Social Security Administration—among other agencies—is involved in a scheme to ‘cover up social security fraud, IRS fraud, elections fraud and possibly treason’ committed by the President. As her numerous filings with the Court demonstrate, plaintiff will stop at nothing to get to the bottom of this alleged conspiracy. Unfortunately for plaintiff, today is not her lucky day.”-Chief U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth, August 30, 2011

What is your theory on why Obama’s SS# fails e-verify?

Btw, government isn’t everything. Conservatives recognize that government is fundamentally corrupt and hasn’t been on our side/the side of truth for ages. You being a radical Leftist, naturally disagree.

Let’s JUST SAY for laughs that Manafort said “I know a guy over there (Russia) who could help us out”

And Trump said “no”.

Is anyone in trouble? Is this even admissible since it seems so TOTALITARIAN?!?!

You need to stop such transparent lies.

Sessions supported Trump long before he had the nomination wrapped up, in FACT, he was the first major elected official to support him.

Your “explanation” explains nothing.

Sessions? Someone want to find/wake-up Rip Van Sessions? *START* the farking paperwork to find the culprits and start arresting people, at the *LEAST* get the witch hunt shut-down??

And, anyone thinks Congress was blind? Where are they NOW will this ‘shocking’ (*wink wink*) revelation?

You and the Idiot Brigade would be “fairly limited” responding to a First Grader.

Whether or not Manafort did anything illegal, I don’t know, but a) since when has Russia (and US, for that matter) NOT interfered with other countries elections?, b)he could ask them to til he’s blue in the face, but Teddy Kennedy set a precedent of doing so, and evidently proved, thereby, that it’s not a criminal act, since he was never charged for it, let alone punished. Besides, leftists in our own government, for a hundred years, have espoused socialism, even in the face of Stalin’s atrocities, so why have they suddenly decided Russia is the bad guy?

It isn't a lie. It is an observation. It was too cute by half how Sessions was asked just the right question in his confirmation hearing to elicit a promise of recusal. Even cuter how Sessions recused so fast after being confirmed without even telling the new president of his plans. Enter Rosenstein who accepts a special prosecutor demand almost before he put his hand down from his swearing in ceremony. And who does he hire but swamp dweller Mueller, who in turn hires a passle of leftist lawyers. Rosenstein then lies in interviews about how he has restricted what Mueller can investigate.

In the meantime, Sessions is focusing on low hanging fruit while totally ignoring numerous clear reasons to challenge everything from the Clinton emails to Comey's likely crimes, to the Dem IT scandal, to Obama's use of the FBI and courts to spy on American citizens and the Trump campaign. How many coincidences does one need to wake up to the strong likelihood that none of this sequence of events is coincidental at all?

Not when there are nuts spreading crap at every opportunity.
But who wouldn’t be arrogant responding to their ilk?

No, it is false. Somehow the legal geniuses here who think they could run the DoJ better than the most conservative member of the Senate and the most conservative Attorney General within our lifetime.

Don’t forget:1) the Clinton Crime Family has decades of experience in hiding their crimes; 2) any Grand Jury empaneled in DC would not indict; 3) if, by some miracle, one did indict, what jury from that area would convict?; 4)

It is COMPLETELY false that Sessions jumped on the bandwagon after it was rolling. He helped START the bandwagon. So rather than calling your statement a “lie” I’ll just call it a big falsehood. Only after claiming that a number of times does it reach the level of a “lie”.

That summary is so accurate. We have been betrayed. It stinks like a week old whale carcass.

Once again, my point of view is based on observation, not false information. Now you could say I have drawn the wrong conclusions from my observations, but it is what I maintain until facts arise to refute my point of view. If and when Sessions goes after much higher fruit than what he has done so far, I will be among the first to say I was wrong.

If you were observing you would know that it is false that Sessions was a late arrival to the Trump campaign when, in fact, he was the first major political endorser. THAT is a fact.
