I am not sure this is good for the Obama administration.

Only a matter of time before this deflection was coming. Blaming Obama? Really?

There is no reason to brief the president on a FISA applications or court orders. What you do have to do is convince an independent federal judge that there is probable cause to believe that Manafort was acting as an agent of a foreign power.

Manafort is going down and he won't be the only one.

Remember how much blowback Trump got from the lame stream media when he said Obama wiretapped him? Sick!

No the FBI was carrying out a routine counterintelligence investigation. Just because you join a political campaign doesn't give you a free pass to run a criminal operation.

Imagine that. Anyone surprised?

Anyone? I guess not.

Why no "routine counterintelligence investigation" into the Clinton Foundation when she was hauling in hundreds of millions of dollars while SOS? Weird.

You are very naive. Spying on the incoming administration is a huge deal. You don't do it unless the big boss is OK with it. If Manafort can successfully challenge the legality of the FISA order, he will walk free.

And he also has the pardon card.

Naive? LOL. That's all you got? Nobody was spying on the campaign, much less the administration.. What the FBI was looking at was agents of foreign powers like Manafort and Carter Page. Traitors like this need to be turned out.

I think Mueller is trying to flip Manafort here. He is going for bigger fish.

Mueller better shut down the leaks. I thought he was supposedly so good that he would run an airtight investigation.

Seems as if someone on board thinks it’s appropriate to talk to the press. Possibly one of the many Clinton donors on his team?

It started in 2014, long before Trump was a candidate. But the order had to be renewed every 90 day, so clearly there was evidence to continue the surveillance.

The FBI had been monitoring Manafort years before Mueller got involved. Don't assume this leak came from Mueller's team.

I am sorry for whatever happened in your life that made your brain work this way. Really.

It started in 2014. Read the article. trump was a fool for hiring someone who was a known foreign operative, who was known to anyone who reads, that he was laundering foreign money and doing nefarious deeds abroad.
