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.

obama should be in prison for this,

then sacking and looting of Libya (since when is such a thing legal under international law),

for the contract killing of Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi,

and causing the syrian "refugee" crisis in europe,

and for having Muslim Brotherhood infiltrate the white House,

for stirring up race riots,

for using the IRS for political gain

For using executive priveledge to undermine the constitution (DACA)

for interfering in Israels election

ETC, eTC, ETc

Because they know what happened.
And at some level they supported it. Or they approved it.
Every one of them is a criminal.

Republicans were in this with Obama right up to their eyeballs.

Here’s the daily caller on it:

The surveillance was ended at some point last year because of a lack of evidence, one source told CNN, but investigators obtained another warrant at some point during the presidential campaign.

They renewed it after he joined the campaign. Remember all those months when Hillary had a counter for every Trump move? That all changed when Manafort left. He was effectively a mole for Hillary’s campaign thanks to the spying. This is huge.

this is a rank, raw political persecution and prosecution. I fully expect Trump to grant Clemency within one hour of this miscarriage of justice. I am so sick of this I could spit. There is NOTHING to this and Mueller should be indicted for conflicts of interest anf being a paid political hack for hillary. This makes me puke!! WHy HAVE WE NOT INDICTED HILLARY??? My GOD!! the crimes!!Actual crimes!! I thought we won the election!!

Any liberal who wants to pretend that wiretapping your political opponent is “no big deal”, ask them to imagine if Trump is still president in 2020 and he approves wiretapping the Democrat nominee and that candidate’s staff for some bogus national security reason, ask them how they’d feel about that.

If the roles were reversed, I guarantee the libs would be plenty pissed off about it. They should be equally pissed that Obama did it to Trump (but of course they won’t be because they are the “ends justifies the means” party).

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


Obama has her beat. He was never even an American citizen until he was given a ceremonial US Passport while serving as a US Senator for official travel. Biggest scam in American history.

Funny! Note how in the second pic, Sessions has that “cheated on my wife” butt mouth expression. Maybe because he is cheating the American people out of Justice.

Once the Republican Governor of Hawaii in 2008, Linda Lingle vouched for his birth there, even the most conservative members of Congress backed off from conducting an investigation. Congress never held a hearing on Obama’s citizenship.
