CNN reported Monday evening that the U.S. government, under President Barack Obama, had wiretapped Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort — both during after the 2016 presidential campaign.
The report vindicates earlier reporting by conservative talk radio host Mark Levin, and by Breitbart News, which the entire mainstream media attempted to dismiss at the time as a “conspiracy theory” to mock Trump and to protect Obama.
The media pounced after President Trump tweeted on March 4: “Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my “wires tapped” in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!”
Leading the “conspiracy theory” charge was none other than CNN itself. Brian Stelter, host of Reliable Sources, wrote at the time that the wiretapping story was an “incendiary idea” floated by Levin, Breitbart News, and others before reaching Trump’s attention.
CNN’s Jeff Zeleny specifically reported that the Breitbart News story about the wiretapping had been widely read in the West Wing of the White House. “Was Breitbart the main source for Trump’s tweet?” Stelter wondered.
He had little interest in the underlying story, which had stitched together facts from mainstream media reports in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and other sources. Instead, Stelter and others at CNN poured scorn on the idea.
...
And so it has. Literally the entire mainstream media were wrong, and Mark Levin and Breitbart News — and Trump himself — were right.
And we were right because the facts were sitting in front of our noses, in bold print at the top of the front page of the New York Times.
But for the mainstream media, it was more important to protect Obama, to demonize Trump, and to smear conservative media outlets.
Call it a fake news conspiracy to cover up the truth.

============================================
FROM ONE OF THE MANY EXPOSES---Seeking to retain his position as CIA director under Hillary, Obama-era Brennan at the CIA used phony foreign intel as a pretext for a multi-agency investigation into Trump.
That led the FBI to probe a computer server connected to Trump Tower and gave cover to Susan Rice's sifting/unmasking operations.
Not only Brennan.... "Susan The Sifter" had a dog in this hunt......Hillary tapped her for Secy of State. One could conclude Comey also had his reasons .....to stay on as a Hillary factotum. Mighty powerful incentives for anti-Trump shenanigans.
.......apparently there are records proving that Obama's CIA director, John Brennan, oversaw repeated spying on the phone calls of President Donald Trump and millions of other private American citizens. An audiotape just released by Federal Judge G. Murray Snow is part of a civil case........
Whomever tried the translation from English to Russian screwed-up several times....... and this is how they were outed.
bkmark for later.
I wanted to comment before I read the other comments. For me this is the last straw. If Trump and Sessions do not get on this immediately they should resign. If you are not going to fight, leave with your tail between your legs.
The meat in this story is that Mueller either has been given access to NSA snooping or is wanting access to NSA snooping.
If he gets it, dirt can be dug up on anyone.
That's easy.
The use whatever they (illegally) gleaned from the wiretaps to go after Trump.
“Russia hacked the election” was a phony excuse the Obama administration used to justify wiretapping the Trump campaign.
- - - For me this is the last straw. If Trump and Sessions do not get on this immediately - - -
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The unbelievable chutzpa that you KNOW ALL ABOUT THIS ??!!!!
“This whole Obama/Rice/Comey/Mueller/Democrat spy apparat is almost unbelievably sordid.”
Yes. They thought they were in full control and untouchable. If WE don’t drain the swamp soon, they will become untouchable.
Pray often for President Trump and the good people on his team.
Okay......agree, praying is the key.
“CNN Admits Trump Campaign Was Wiretapped: Breitbart News and Mark Levin Right, Mainstream Media Wrong”
The MSM had to say that because Mueller will now ask for the wiretaps. Meanwhile the MSM will go, “oops, us bad.”
I’m sure more recusals from Jeff sessions.
This is a scream! Last night the talking heads were beside themselves announcing the possible indictment of Manafort. The next thing was: “So Trump WAS wiretapped by Obama after all...” OOPS!
Yep. See post 12.
The swamp must be drained and prosecuted.
Leftwing M.O.
1. Lie
2. Lie some more.
3. Lie again.
4. In the face of overwhelming evidence that you were lying, finally admit the truth.
5. Declare that the issue is “old news” and we need to forget about it and “move on”.
6. Except if it’s racist. Slavery can be used against white people who had nothing to do with it for at least 150 years and probably forever.
They HAD to nominate Hitlery. She was in on the game. Sanders was not. Sanders was a useful idiot who could run as a pretend opponent in the primaries to make it seem legit, but when he was actually getting some traction, he had to be destroyed. They brought him into the game just far enough to pay him off so he would shut up.
If you are waiting for Jeff Sessions to do anything, the next step is absolutely nothing.
Amen! Too much evil is aligned against Trump and his team. Without supernatural intercession, these evildoers will skate.
I couldn't possibly agree more!! Well stated CincyRichieRich!
People mocked him when Trump said he was wiretapped....
