http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/09/18/former-trump-campaign-chair-paul-manafort-wiretapped-by-us-investigators-report-says.html Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was wiretapped by U.S. government investigators both before and after the 2016 presidential election, according to a report out Monday night. The wiretapping was authorized by a secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court after the FBI started to investigate Manafort, 68, in 2014, CNN reported. He's been under scrutiny over his financial dealings and lobbying efforts with pro-Russia and Ukrainian officials but has denied colluding with Russia to influence the election. The order to monitor Manafort was discontinued in 2016, but investigators obtained another FISA warrant that stretched into early 2017, according to the report. Some of the intelligence collected during the surveillance reportedly signaled that Manafort may have pushed for Russian officials to help try to get then-candidate Donald Trump elected. However, sources told CNN the evidence was not conclusive. Manafort, according to the report, was not surveilled during the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting in which Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and Manafort met with Kremlin-linked attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya. Manafort – who is a key figure in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s involvement with the election – had his Virginia home raided in July by FBI agents who were looking for financial documents related to the election. The FBI took documents and other materials related to Mueller’s investigation during the raid, just one day after Manafort had voluntarily met with members of the Senate Intelligence Committee. The raid was followed up with a warning to Manafort from Mueller’s prosecutors that they planned to indict him, The New York Times reported. |

Abbeybailey:He promised to build a wall that Mexico would pay for and they took him seriously. ![]() You must be extremely dvmb to fall for it. ![]() I am enjoying his failure to deliver so so much. It plays out as I thought it would. For them his ranting was a sign of strength. They could have equally voted for a rabid monkey. ![]() |

obixcel:Village rat, what do you know ?. Nazi sympathizing flag waver. Majority of Americans appreciate Obama and that's why his approval rating is skyrocketing unlike some demented old fool pretending to be a president. You won't know that from your rats infested village. |

Mindfulness:And Mexico paid for it. What a joke of a president. I can't wait till this 71 year old racist pig goes into hall of shame that he belongs. He can take his Nazi pals with him for all I care. |

The way things are going I'm gonna predict that if indictments come down on Trump associates and surrogates over Russia collusion, Trump supporters will say "Well it was his associates not Trump himself that colluded with Russia". Let's keep watching. |

LordReed:Mueller has nothing on Trump. No evidence of any real smoking gun. |
| Re: American Politics Lounge - Donald Trump Is US President-Elect ! by Abbeybailey(m): 6:30pm On Sep 19, 2017 |
LordReed:Obviously, Manafort will be indicted and I am predicting Mike Flynn is next. I won't be surprised when Trump Jnr and Jared Kushner who is Trumpster son in law is indicted too. That's when serious flipping and snitching like a canary bird starts. This is what America get from electing this abomination and abberation called trump. It's sad for a beautiful country to become a laughing stock of the world. It gladdens my earth though that Director Mueller is going unperturbed with his work. |

Abbeybailey:You will keep looking out forever with utter hoplessness, Basement Rat. TRUMP IS PRESIDENT. Bite your fingers on that, or jump off the roof. |

obixcel:Village rat, trump doesn't even know of your worthless existence in your hell hole. We will haunt that racist pig out of office and there's nothing a village loser like you can do several thousands miles away. |

TheShopKeeper:And That proves Trump right again, his Trump tower was wiretapped. |
| Re: American Politics Lounge - Donald Trump Is US President-Elect ! by LordReed(m): 9:34pm On Sep 19, 2017 |
obixcel:We shall see. If his associates are indicted for collusion with Russia you think his election will still be considered free and fair? obixcel:Another attempt to conflate issues. Trump was not wiretapped, stop carrying fake news on your head. Is the whole of Trump Tower his home? Besides his claim of wiretap did not mention Trump Tower so what the heck are you saying? |
| Re: American Politics Lounge - Donald Trump Is US President-Elect ! by Abbeybailey(m): 9:35pm On Sep 19, 2017 |
obixcel:When I tell you that you don't have a clue about how things work in America, you think I am belittling you. FISA was approved by a Federal Judge before Manafort phone was tapped when the Feds knew that he was working in collaboration with Russians to sabotage American electoral system. He was caught red handed and he will pay dearly for it in the Federal penitentiary. Trump is lawyering up as we speak and the end will be ugly for him. Keep wetting your pant in your village. Any discomfort to you and your racist trump gladdens my heart. |

LordReed:Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism! 12:35 - 4. März 2017 The above was one of his series of tweets http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2017/mar/21/timeline-donald-trumps-false-wiretapping-charge/ By the way u are the one conflating issues. TRUMP won fair and square and if that is difficult to take do the needful. ![]() |
| Re: American Politics Lounge - Donald Trump Is US President-Elect ! by LordReed(m): 4:02am On Sep 20, 2017 |
obixcel:Still he says my. So suddenly Manafort's wiretap is also Trump's? When the wheels of justice turn we shall see. |

LordReed:If you wiretapp the campaign manager of a party , definitely you've wiretap the candidate. Especially doing it during the campaign |
| Re: American Politics Lounge - Donald Trump Is US President-Elect ! by Just30: 8:01am On Sep 20, 2017 |
Abbeybailey:keep your kul there wont be any indictments cos they've found nothing. Manafort is requesting for his intercepted conversation to be made public. Anyone of those conversation that includes Trump would lead to a criminal investigation of the previous administration. |
| Re: American Politics Lounge - Donald Trump Is US President-Elect ! by LordReed(m): 8:16am On Sep 20, 2017 |
Just30:Pure speculation. Manafort had been under investigation/surveillance since 2014. When did he become campaign chairman? |
| Re: American Politics Lounge - Donald Trump Is US President-Elect ! by LordReed(m): 8:19am On Sep 20, 2017 |
Just30:LoL. Hope you are not getting legal advise from a Trump University graduate. You have absolutely no idea how these things work. Go and research a bit more before you give out opinions. |
| Re: American Politics Lounge - Donald Trump Is US President-Elect ! by obixcel(m): 9:58am On Sep 20, 2017 |
LordReed:Liar!! You specifically emphasised that he never mentioned "Trump Tower" - there you have it. TRUMP would always be vindicated one way or the other and you dim wits will always have a hard time accepting it |
| Re: American Politics Lounge - Donald Trump Is US President-Elect ! by obixcel(m): 10:19am On Sep 20, 2017 |
Just30:The fact that they did it twice hoping to find something, and frankly if there was enough smoking gun it would have been let out of the bag a long time ago. |
| Re: American Politics Lounge - Donald Trump Is US President-Elect ! by obixcel(m): 10:22am On Sep 20, 2017 |
Just30:I love it when they get their hopes high....they think Trump would be indicted? ![]() |

obixcel:I will tell you again to stick to your local politics and leave American politics to people with functioning medulla. There is a process to uncover things legally in US unlike Nigeria where palms are greased. If there's nothing to Russiagate, why is your clueless 71 year old dimwit hired teams of lawyers?. Why Jnr and Kushner his son in law hired criminal attorneys ?. Why some of his aides are lawyering up?. You are a confirmed and unashamed Nazi worshipper. Keep watching because the hammer is coming down on that racist piece of poo and there's nothing a village underachieving rat like you can do in your village several thousands miles away. Your relevance doesn't go beyond the idiocy you display on nairaland. |

Just30:Travel to DC and tell Director Mueller that. |

obixcel:LoL, feeling triggered snowflake? LMAO. |
| Re: American Politics Lounge - Donald Trump Is US President-Elect ! by Just30: 5:07pm On Sep 20, 2017 |
Abbeybailey:Mueller has nothing else he would be calling on congress to remove the president. |
| Re: American Politics Lounge - Donald Trump Is US President-Elect ! by Just30: 5:10pm On Sep 20, 2017 |
obixcel:they're just stupidly looking for somewhere to pay blame A week ago , it was Facebook accepting 100,000 dollars for ad placements from Russia. The simple question to that is , how can 100,000 dollars out weight 1.2 billion dollars in ad placements? |
