FBI wire tapped Manafort

[Anonymous]

Federal Government under Obama got into Sharyl Attkinson's computer after her reporting on Benghazi - crickets...

Federal Government under Obama got into James Rosen (and his parents) computer after his reporting on Benghazi - crickets...

Federal Government under Obama got an extension of the Paul Manafort "wire-tappping" to put pressure on him turning - RAGE!!!

Imagine that. Anyone surprised?

Nope. Isn't this what Trump was saying all along? Looks like he was correct. Stupid liberals.

If Manafort isn't consorting with the Russians, there is no wiretapping.

Get it?

Exactly. This is the essence of it.


Confirmation of what everyone knew or at least suspected, but every democrat earnestly denied.


And now we know.

No, but we know Trump supporters are dumb as hell.

Ooooooooooh, good one! so clever!

Why don't you insult my mother next?

Does your mother condone treason?

Truer words have never been posted. The FBI is not Obama and Manafort is not Trump Tower.

True except for the fact that it's not true, LOLz.


The FBI is the Justice Dept, which is the AG, which IS essentially the President.

Manafort is Trump Tower, and therefore Trump, because Manafort is TALKING to Trump!

The President was using all the intel assets available to the executive branch to spy on a political opponent of his preferred successor. It really IS that simple.


Logical extension Inst your strong suit, is it? Poor thing...... I feel so sorry for you.






Ask yourself this: what would your reaction be if you discovered that George W Bush had been using all the resources of the govt to spy on the Obama campaign by wiretapping Valerie Jarrat? Would you REALLY believe that Jarrat was the target of the investigation? Of course not. It's plainly obvious who the intended target is, Jarrat is just a portal to surveil Obama without getting the actual warrant FOR Obama.

So what would your reaction be if the roles were 100% reversed?

We already know the answer.

Why are you defending treason? Are you really a Russian bot that people claim you to be? You are loyal to party first and country is way down the list.

Do you mean when Obama modified EO 12333 less than 2 weeks before leaving office?

Yep, its Obama's fault!

In hindsight, it is likely that Obama did this specifically to allow the IC to collaborate on what they were seeing from Manafort, Page, Trump(s) and the others. But if you really want to blame anyone, blame W - the Patriot Act is the root of all of this.

But that doesn't absolve the Trump campaign from colluding with Russians and getting swept up in both domestic and foreign SIGINT.

Why stop at Dubya, blame it on Reagan as he started EO12333.

In reality, 44 did more to disrupt our Constitutional Republic in the last 6 months of office than any previous defeated party in the past. This crash and burn will impact us for years to come and history will look back unfavorable on 44.

Aren't you special. You want to protect traitors and are upset that they are being roped in for their treasonous acts. So now it is the law that is wrong and Manafort is just a victim of the laws of the USA.

I'm all for actually draining the swamp of parasites like Manafort, but this is just an attempt to bankrupt via legal fees anyone who was associated with Trump's campaign.

If Muellers $1000/hour bulldogs went after Podesta, Cheryl Mills, etc. it wouldn't take them long to find something...

Get your facts right. Government lawyers are not paid anywhere close to $1000 hour. LOL

Mueller''s staff gave up $1,000/hr salaries to take government jobs in service to the country.

If you want to complain about the swamp, where is the outrage over Tom Price's $25,000 flight to Philadelphia at taxpayer expense?

My heart doesn't bleed for Trump campaign and administration staffers who are caught up in Trump's dealing with Russia.

If they have nothing to hide, they don't really need an attorney. Just tell the truth and move on.

The only people lawyering up are the ones who know what they have done and know they need to defend it.

Price said he couldn't ride commercial, so he hit the taxpayers up to hire a private plane service.

What exactly is Mueller's all star law team costing US taxpayers? You have no idea.

The only thing "special" here skippy is the protection of the media and the legacy of 44. Manafort will be indicted for financial irregularities prior to the Trump campaign, nothing more. Now can we go back to where the focus of Mueller should go - the Awan's and the DNC?

If this were a non-anymous board, I would put a friendly wager on this. I am very confident that there was actual coordination and collaboration with the Russian troll farms using Russian money and US political insight to spend and target information to specific voters on Facebook and to a lesser extent, Twitter to shape opinion, both in terms of reaffirming and motivating support for Trump and providing disincentive to voters against Clinton.

The circumstantial evidence associated with Kushner's wiz-kid article on the data, along with Pascale's operation in Texas with Cambridge Analytica for too nicely. Add to it, the unique meetings and lies/cover-ups, the change in the one item related to Ukraine in the GOP Platform and the various actions since, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to make the connections.

Layer over that the decades of money laundering and you have a pretty nice package of lifetime in prison for the Trump family and worse for Flynn, Bannon, Manafort and possibly Pence.

"Mueller is moving as quickly as he can and is taking his three-part mandate very seriously, one government official told The Washington Post. He believes for the moment he has all the resources he needs and the office is now a fully-formed agency and using a grand jury for subpoenas and interviews vigorously, the official said.
“I am convinced that no matter where they end up, this investigation will run to completion even if they fire Mueller,” the official said. “There is a feeling of inevitability now that we didn’t have before — not of the outcome of the investigation, but that there will be an outcome. There is no escaping this thing, whatever the conclusions.”

You are giving a +1 to a message that does not exist on this thread anymore, or at least I cannot find it.

Not sure, there was a lot of off-topic stuff that was deleted so this might have gone with it.

The good news is the law shouldn't be partisan, so even though Fox wants to keep banging the drum on illegal wiretapping that wasn't illegal and wasn't wiretapping, the rest of us can move on to follow any indictments and other legal issues as the story evolves.

Manafort offered to give Russian billionaire ‘private briefings’ on 2016 campaign
