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.

Wrong answer.
Do you really think anyone here would ever come close to electing an AH even remotely close to that one ?

I don’t and that picture of that condescending POS irritates the snot out of me and should everyone here.

Despicable for sure.

At least with the DemComs, what you saw is what you got. But this one’s covert deceit is breathtaking.

I can but pray that one day he will get his comeuppance for the treason he has committed not only against the President, but against We the People and our United States.

He wasn’t president and didn’t deliberately screw up the country

I doubt that the Russian story was invented after the election. I believe that it was the excuse used to obtain the “secret” warrant for the wiretap. Courts aren’t going to issue warrants without at least some flimsy excuse.

I’m guessing he’s been “neutralized”; somehow. As probably 90%+ of the House and the Senate. That’s why Obama and co. used spies.

My guess as well. A guess only. They probably have something on Jeff "Back Stabber" Sessions. What sin? I don't know. But these are the sins that have sunk many a powerful man in Washington D.C., including Generals, CEOs, Senators, etc.: adultery, greed, porn.

No, we have to educate the public what natural born citizen means and never let it happen again.

Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because they could be no other.

Let’s face it, the whole Russia thing is an attempt to cover up a failed rigging of the election by Hillary Clinton and Debby Wasserman Schultz, with lots of neocon supporters.

How many freakin’ times are you going to post that claptrap? I’m an old women too, but don’t feel compelled to be the Corrector-in-Chief of what people write. Hell, most of what you’ve bitched about is said on TV these days. Get over it.
