Earlier this week CNN reported what radio talk show host (and former Justice Department official) Mark Levin revealed in March, that secret FISA court orders had been implemented during the Obama Administration to wire tap Paul Manafort. Mediaite then pointed out that the former Director of National Intelligence under President Obama, James Clapper, had unequivocally denied the existence of any such FISA wiretap during an interview on Meet the Press:
James Clapper was the Director of National Intelligence overseeing the surveillance and intelligence gathering of seventeen different government agencies. He has correctly asserted that if there was a FISA order to wiretap an American citizen he would know about it. CNN has now confirmed that the FBI had just such an order to monitor Paul Manafort. This leaves us with only a handful of conclusions.
CNNs reporting is completely wrong resulting it possibly one of the most high-profile journalistic blunders of our time
James Clapper is a serial liar.
James Clapper has a health condition that has damaged his memory
The FBI under James Comeys direction and under President Obamas control conducted covert, renegade surveillance of American citizens without the appropriate oversight or constitutional checks and balances at such a high level that even the Director of National Intelligence was kept in the dark.
Either way, we either have a very sick man in James Clapper, or we have a scandal brewing that could shatter the medias love affair with the Obama presidency. If theyd only have half an interest in pursuing it.

If the political parties were reversed it is guaranteed that the Dems would have prosecuted and jailed every single person in the Republican administration by now.....including the ex President.
I was watching Lou Dobbs last night and he had Ed Rollins on. Ed said that he had know Manafort for 20 years and that he was not a good person.
I guess Ed’s feelings are the same as yours.
It appears that much of the DC power structure is crooked.
Clapper is a liar and should be in jail.
HUH??
I predict that if the Swamp levels any charges against President Trump, that Sessions will spring into action against his boss. I shall now forevermore call him Jeff Swampssions.
If Sessions is doing his job????
We will not know until indictments
Fox Showed footage of Brennan claiming he didn’t recollect anyone from State requesting unmasking too - it was obvious he was hedging and trying to lie w/o actually perjuring himself - they all knew and approved -— and lied.
It’s starting to fall apart. These conspirators are starting to turn on each other. It was ever thus with criminal cabals.
Crapper has been known to lie under oath. Why would anybody believe anything this known liars says?
Crapper’s lips moving is also a “tell” he is lying.
Besides, ignorance is no defense when it comes to the law. He knew, and was complicit in it all.
I agree. Paul Manafort is not a good guy and his problems are his own. What bothers me is that this investigation is now going back ten years into Manafort’s activities. As far as I know Donald Trump wasn’t running for President ten years ago. This ‘investigation’ has gone so far off the rails that it’s impossible to see from here where it’s headed. But one thing I’m pretty sure of. Someone close to the President is going to be indicted.
2. Have you seen anything from a credible source about this?
Everyone knew about Clapper lying??? What about Jeffy Sessions? He knew. He is the AG and sworn to uphold the law. Hasn’t moved an inch toward charging Clapper. Or maybe he didn;t know what everyone else with an IQ over 70 does/did!
Thank you for the apology. Not gloating. Too much at stake. Got to get rid of Jeffy Sessions.
Sessions moronically recused himself from the Russia investigation which the Manafort FISA wiretapping clearly is part of. Trump was correct in being really angry about this. The ripple effects of his recusal are vast. And of course Rosenstein, who wrote the memo that got Comey fired, which firing is also under investigation by Mueller, has refused to recuse himself from being Mueller’s boss, even though he is a witness to what Mueller is investigating.
If you're asking about the ten years back in Manafort's history, the answer is nothing in print just what I've heard reported on FOX and FBN.
