BREAKING: CNN admit Paul Manafort was wiretapped

Remember those days when you called liberals a bunch of terrorist sympathizers because they did not like the shaky legal grounds that made the FISA courts the final say on the legality of any given surveillance? This is entirely legal because FISA said so. Don't like it? We told you so years ago when all you could do is kiss Bush ass.

ummm Obama was bypassing FISA and illegally using the government for political spying

:lol:

This thread is about a legally executed FISA warrant on Manafort. Did you miss that part?
And they found no credible evidence...did you read that part? Obama spied on another campaign...that's the story.

Oh, they found things. That's why Manafort is going to jail.
Don't kid yourself, Manafort will be bunking with Joe the Sheriff.

They'll have to get him through the NY AG or else Trump will pardon him.

First, FISA is a Carter creation. Second, it is not independent, it must be initiated by the administration. Dumbass.
By the Justice Department and the FBI, not the administration.

Too funny.

The Department of Justice is a department of the Executive branch ie: the administration. The FBI answers to the Justice Department.
You better tell Trump then because he's unaware that the Department of Justice and the FBI are part of his administration.

The president does not have the authority to make the AG or any agency follow clearly unlawful orders. After Nixon it is considered very bad form for the president to even talk to the AG as Justice is expected to be independent and nonpolitical in spite of it being in the executive branch. You can imagine all sorts of nefarious things but AGs are experts at covering their ass and none of them are going to prison for the president no matter the party.
 
This is becoming the most embarrassing line of attack the democrats could possibly have come up with.

Obie never witetapped Trump. But he did. And the result of that is nothing but exposing the Dems as liars and criminals.

This isn't good news for you.

Obama didn't wiretap Trump.

Repeating the same lie, over and over, isn't really going to help you.
Obie didn't wire tap Trump! But with this information from a wiretap we had on his campaign we really got something now!

You're fucked.

A FISA wiretap was placed on Paul Manafort in 2014, long before there was a Trump campaign.

You'd know this, if you'd actually bothered to read the article in the OP.
Manfort was also wiretapped after the election
There's no indication that Manafort was wiretapped while he was Trump's campaign chairman.
And continued through the campaign.

Wrong. That must be shown at a trial and that is if the wiretap evidence is allowed.

Indeed. But there's no reason the wiretaps would be excluded at trial.
Other than who ordered them and why, and the whole legality of it thing.

You people are digging even deeper holes here.

Amazing how brainwashed you Trumpies have become, completely convinced that no one including Trump could in any way be involved in anything that wasn't absolutely lawful and legal.

But the shit droppings are everywhere, including why Trump Jr. had to lie 4 times about what his reason was for meeting with Russians in June 2016.

Executive branch does not mean administration.

Hell, I just gave you a link to all of the administrative offices and you still can't learn.

I have no time to argue with such an idiot. Now run along.
LOL

You're not arguing with me. You're arguing with the office of the president's administration.

He never thought Trump would win so he figured bugging somebody in Trump campaign would be o.k.
 
FISA warrant used to fight terrorism. Why wouldn't they get a regular warrant? Oh because a normal judge would not authorize it.
 
ummm Obama was bypassing FISA and illegally using the government for political spying

It was a federal warrant. Federal court.

The shit droppings keep landing on your own heads. Are you now going to try to spin Trump was correct and his campaign was wiretapped by Obie but it was fine?

Trump didn't claim that his campaign was wiretapped, he claimed that he was wiretapped.

A FISA wiretap was placed on Paul Manafort in 2014, long before there was a Trump campaign.

You'd know this, if you'd actually bothered to read the article in the OP.
Manfort was also wiretapped after the election
There's no indication that Manafort was wiretapped while he was Trump's campaign chairman.
And continued through the campaign.
There were two warrants. One expired before Manafort was Trump's campaign manager and the date of the second warrant is unknown. Nothing in the article indicates it did or did not start while Manafort was campaign manger, which was from June to August.

Anyone claiming, or denying, Manafort was wiretapped while he was with Trump's campaign -- is full of shit.
 
manafort is being indicted....supposedly he was notified by the Justice department.

We do not know what he is being indicted for....?

Manafort was wire tapped twice.... the first Fisa surveillance was started in 2014....before Trump entered the race and went thru January 2016...before Manafort became Trump's campaign manager....

So, BEFORE Manafort was hired by Trump, he was under surveillance for being an agent of a foreign gvt that was a threat to the USA...

THEN after the Russian investigation began and after the dossier info on him, and the other foreign intel they had, they went to the foreign intelligence court and asked for another surveillance warrant which continued after manafort had quit the campaign....

SOOOOOO, it's possible that this is about Manafort and Russia, but not necessarily with Pres. Trump's involvement....imo.... so we will see when the indictments come down....

AND NO, surveying Manafort is not wire tapping Trump in Trump tower as Trump claimed...and no it was not done illegally and no, obama did not call for it and yes, Pres Trump lied and was wrong to tweet such...
You present a plausible and well thought out argument. And I believe your post to be true. Thank you.
The question then becomes: were those legal wiretaps on Manafort that were obtained while he was working for Trump - were they used illegally against Trump in an attempt to influence the election.
 
And they found no credible evidence...did you read that part? Obama spied on another campaign...that's the story.

Oh, they found things. That's why Manafort is going to jail.

The wiretaps were completely legal. They had warrants.
Trump is an idiot for saying his people were wiretapped.

BTW- we have some new information from Trumps people being wiretapped.

But Trump is still an idiot for thinking that actually happened.

Again, Trump didn't claim that "his people" were wiretapped.

He claimed that he was wiretapped.
