Yet even as Trump spoke, a threat to his presidency gained new steam. Reports that special counsel Robert Mueller had wiretapped former Trump campaign boss Paul Manafort and plans to indict him sent Washington into a new tizzy of speculation.
According to CNN, which first carried the wiretapping report, Manafort was surveilled under a FISA warrant, meaning the FBI suspected he was operating as a foreign agent. The network said it is possible G-men listened to the president talking to Manafort because the wiretap continued into this year and Trump and Manafort often talked in 2017.
If so, that would mark an infamous history an American president being overheard by secret agents of his own government. It would also be additional support for Trumps charge that former President Barack Obama had my wires tapped in Trump Tower just before the victory.
It was in March when Trump made that explosive claim, and the Democratic media rushed to denounce him even before Obama did. Subsequent denials from then-FBI boss James Comey and other Obama aides all were rock-solid in declaring that no such thing had happened. There was no wiggle room in their denials, some of which were made under oath before Congress.
But something certainly happened. And what if it was the worst imaginable something? What if the Republican candidate for president was put under surveillance by a Democratic administration that was trying to elect another Democrat?
There was reason to suspect that was true before the Manafort reports added fuel to the fire.
Recall that, starting last fall, continuing throughout the transition and into the early months of the administration, much of the media was obsessed with the narrative that Russia hacked the election and Trump colluded.

No, not frog marched. Just cuff his wrists to his ankles and then have him leave the stage. Knowing how this muslim ticks, perhaps add a restraining collar to the set. It would be certain to please him.
He has shown himself to be Hussein the Destroyer. Just as he’s done with everything else, he has destroyed the Judicial System and the Oval Office, leaving congress in tatters. An individual more disliked is a challenge to find.
It’s like man made global warming. That’s code for “We Lie!”
At the tapping station.....
Hey, that’s one of my favorite movies.
Hold on to your horses, man.
Although your point is valid, it is not the only correct answer.
People say "I couldn't care less" and yet they could. For instance they could not even be 'talking' about the subject, or being on a thread posting about it. So when they say "I couldn't care less", what they really mean is "I could care less".
Why do people still talk about "filming" a video, and the "footage" that results? Why do people still talk about "dialing" a phone or "hanging up" when done? Why do people still refer to the TV as "the tube"?
Thanks Oshkalaboomboom.
