Just read where WH folks are worried that their colleagues are wearing wires.

Seems they are worried about everyone wiretapping them, even each other.

Sure looks like the Trumpistas are celebrating the fact that their God-Emperor's campaign manager was so dirty, a judge approved a wiretap as part of a criminal investigation. Not sure why this is a good thing, but hey...

In fact, the warrant was issued before Manafort was Trump's campaign manager..but you know this as well.

Where is the illegality?

And let's not ring in some rumor about a dossier being used to gain the warrant...no proof at all that is the case.
That is yet to be revealed as there's reports that the FISA court relied on "questionable" evidence. Going to be interesting how this whole thing plays out.
Getting the popcorn popper ready!

They got a secret warrant in 2014 and ended up dropping it because...."no evidence".
They got another one last fall with the "Russian connection" and a year later haven't charged him with anything.

The government has more leaks than a sieve. All of it is "may" and "possibly" and all provided by unamed sources.
I would imagine that few people have access to these secret FISA warrants.

It's almost like they want Americans sitting on the edge of their seats continuously waiting for the next morsel to be fed to them.

So much for Mueller's tight lipped team.

Truth is very clear.

What is clear is that they investigated Manafort before the Trump campaign existed and discontinued it because nothing incriminating was found.


Then, when Trump became the Republican nominee, the investigation that was discontinued because nothing was found after two years of investigating was restarted because Manafort became Trump's campaign chairman.


Speaks for itself.

Wow, one wonders why they don't just hire you and then have you judge the case?

Personally I would like to see some hangings...if that is still part of the Federal death penalty. But it probably is not so I would like to see LONG prison terms, especially since Club Fed is a joke (camp) anyway.

I know a guy who went to Club Fed and was always talking about how many bands he played in there.

Crime pays. As always, the dude who takes a joyride in a car or who sells some weed will see a prison with horrible conditions - but the guy who makes tens of millions will likely walk - or, at worse, do a little time and still be a millionaire when they get out.

The world is so unfair.

Only Clapper cause he did lie to Congress.

Rice was an Obama puppet that took the heat in front of Americans for Hillary who was too tired to go on TV for a nice cushy job at the UN.
Comey..he says anything to get facetime..big ego.

So, who wants to find all the threads about how ridiculous Trump was for saying there were wiretaps? You'd think the lemmings on he left would learn to stop following the media over the cliff.
