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.

“Best just to ignore it. Pretty much everyone else does.”

I can see why after those responses. Bunch of ado about nothing.

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

I remember how it was with the Cruz Contingent here, and how they made every excuse and insult when it was pointed out that he obviously isn't a natural born citizen either. — Keep in mind that he's supposed to be the hot-shot "super-conservative" Constitutional/Constitutionalist Lawyer, and the crap he pulled in Iowa and Colorado, and I think it's safe to say he's a giant AH, too.
So, yes.

Draining the swamp very likely means getting some sludge on your boots. Let’s get to it.

No, it means that a lot of people need to hang — enough that it'd bring down the entire government… and you know what, I don't care. I want these criminals held to account, I want this corruption out of my country, I want people to know there is Justice.

That's my 2020 platform: relentless anti-corruption.
(I know, it's a single-issue, but I think enough of my fellow-citizens desire real Justice that it'd be a winning one— especially if I can swing public hangings for traitors.)

No longer the respected, powerful Senator that he was, he has that hunted look, almost as if he’s been blackmailed and coopted.

I remember back in the 70’s where planting a bug in a campaign HQ would get a President impeached.

If the weasel cannot find it within himself to jump on all of this, he should resign, or be fired.

He's complicit. If Hillary were at all investigated, it would reveal how deep the corruption of the Pay to Play Clinton foundation goes; which, in turn, would expose how involved the then-senate, house of representatives, and highly-placed bureaucrats were compromised… and given that the Senate committed Treason in broad daylight [the Iran Deal], it's literally a matter of life and death for Sessions [who voted yea for the Iran Deal] to keep anything from happening.
