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.

I overheard Cokie Roberts talking on some news show and from their perspective it seemed like this was absolute proof that Trump was guilty of colluding with Russia. Totally an alternate universe!

No one with a social security number would use someone else’s except to cover for a crime. Period. Especially when 16. Especially when President of the United States. But Barack Hussein Obama did.

That is absolutely correct. And it got tens and tens of millions of people tortured and killed. Some say close to 100 million.

It’s like being on the Titanic and the liberals / Uniparty are at the helm steering towards the iceberg.

Because “they know what’s best” for all of us.

Clapper was not at NSA; he was never at NSA. Clapper was DIA, and later was appointed DNI.

Mike Rogers runs NSA.Shortly after the election, he had an unusual meeting with Trump outside the normal chain of command at Trump Tower and may very well have warned Trump he was under surveillance; he notified neither the DNI, Clapper, nor the President that he was going to see the President-Elect.

Clapper told 0bama Rogers should be fired as a result. I think 0bama demurred because Rogers was not part of Club Hillary, and he didn't want to call attention to their shenanigans.

Now is the time for our SLEEPING DOJ run by none other than The Honorable (hurmph) Jeff Session to spring into action and do SOMETHING. This crap cannot fly. Obama needs to be bought to justice no matter what the consequences and Session needs to do it now.

Let the riots begin. We as a nation can handle the outcome and will support our President.

I cringe at the thought of how close Hillary came to pulling off the biggest crime in Americas history.

If she has not pulled off the biggest, this biotch and her gang of three has pulled off the next too the greatest and are walking are streets free as birds. First broken promise of our President and the first botched job of Jeff Sessions as AG.

He understands the tactics and the law better than you.

There may be no impeachment but manafort will likely get indicted unless he flips


Indicted for what?

How can Manafort flip if there is no crime? You expect him to lie about their being a Russian connection to the Trump campaign where none exists?

Manaforts daughter claims in hacked text that he communicated via draft emails never sent. Not tech savvy enough to know if those can be accessed by forensics.

Probably Fake News. Manafort knows that that's what tripped up General David Petraeus and his girlfriend a couple of years ago.

Did they get the court order the day before yesterday from the same place that gave us obama’s birth certificate?

"What is there to like about this country anymore?"

Well, let's see...

...there's President Trump, and the vast popular majority that actually elected him, despite Clinton having over 28-Million illegal, fraudulent votes registered on her behalf...

Then there're cops beating back Antifa thugs while chanting, "Whose streets? OUR STREETS!"...

And we've got Blacks carrying signs insisting how "Black Lives Matter" while they slaughter each other like it's a Sudan election...

Keystone Pipeline...

Dakota Access Pipeline...

Neil Gorsuch...

Newly-discovered shale, oil and NG deposits that will quickly make America the world's largest, wealthiest energy exporter...

...Say, how much time you got?

From Greg Jarett on Fox news. You should immediately contact him and get his head straight. He must have been reading FR last night.

“Jeff Sessions should never have accepted the position of Attorney General of the United States. His leadership has proven unproductive and ineffectual.

There are two reasons for this.

First, he deceived President Trump by concealing his intent to recuse himself from the federal investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election.”

Since FISA court granted Manafort wiretap based on Golden Showers dossier, would evidence collected be considered Fruit of the Poisoned Pee?
