There must be a reason for this wire tap information to come out now. Perhaps Mueller needs it to make the case for impeachment?

If this story is true, Manafort was wire tapped long before the election.
U can bet if there was something incriminating against Trump, it would
have been leaked BEFORE the election.

IMO it wouldn't have been leaked if an indictment was pending. This was done to get DJT to react, perhaps even fire Mueller (which I think he should go ahead and do at this point).

And I'm sure it's just a coincidence that Hillary is saying TODAY that she's thinking of "challenging the election".

We will find out very soon if Ryan (Romney) and McConnell (Bush) are in on the game.

Agree completely. I can hear it now: "The crimes of the Trump administration were/are so egregious that this unprecedented step was required."

God, I sound like a concern troll but I have become so cynical. And I'm disgusted at the publics willingness to lap up and repeat any justification that is given.

Maybe because it just came out that some rat in the Awan investigation gave the FBI a faked server
