BREAKING: CNN admit Paul Manafort was wiretapped

[Baz Ares]

And this is a problem?

This criminal with connections to a hostile foreign power was wiretapped?

What a shocker huh?

From your link

Some of the intelligence collected includes communications that sparked concerns among investigators that Manafort had encouraged the Russians to help with the campaign, according to three sources familiar with the investigation.

Conductin espionage against American citizens is against the law, dumbass.

It's interesting how all you Trump hating scum practice the same moral code as the KGB.

For such a great guy he sure is racking up felonies.
New York state prosecutors charged Manafort with SIXTEEN NEW state felonies. After racking up 49 months in jail time. He should die in jail, I wonder when the great Douche will be in the cell next door?

What "state felonies?"

Mortgage fraud, Taxes fraud, Real Estate fraud to start. He will be convicted. It's a paper case.

Wrong.

Paul Manafort Convicted of 8 Counts of Bank and Tax Fraud

A jury found Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, guilty on eight counts of bank and tax fraud related to his work as a political consultant overseas.​

Fraud on your federal taxes is not a state crime.

Trump can pardon Manafort for all of these charges.

Can't pardon him on the coming 16 felony frauds.

 

[Baz Ares]

What the fuck to "mob guys" have to do with anything? What "mob" is Manafort in?

THEY...like Manafort...are fucking criminals you dimwit.

And Manafort was a member of the Trump crime family anyway

There is no Trump "crime family," you incurable douchebag. Manafort is nothing like a "mob guy." No one was harmed by anything he did. "Mob guys" kill people.

White collar crime harms no one?

They should be allowed to break the law?

Newsflash...you said that NO Americans citizens could be wiretapped...dumfuk

Cheating on your taxes harms no one.

Cheating on your taxes harms all Taxpayers who pay correct taxes. We have to cover the cheaters like the Great Douche.

Manafort was a scumbag lawyer who got caught doing what lawyers do! being a Scumbag bottom feeder. He should maybe get his lawyer to pay off some gang bangers or recidivist felons to protect his Anal Virginity on Rikers Island. I guess the Prosecutors in New York couldn't force him to lie about Trump so...…. Off to the meat grinder for Poor Paul!

 

[Uncensored2008]

CNN / Snowflakes seem to be trying to have it both ways - Manafort Wire Tap Bringing America Closer To Evidence Of Trump Colluding With Russians ... BUT ....the Wire Tap Had Nothing to do with Trump and the 'Russian Collusion' accusation....

Which is it? Turns out it is just part of the 'big picture' smear / undermining campaign by the Leftist Liberal Extremists.....


Left-Wing Media Continue to Drop Russia-Trump Conspiracy Stories at Strategic Times - Breitbart

"Whenever President Donald Trump is about to embark on a major diplomatic initiative, like clockwork CNN, the Washington Post or the New York Times drop a leak about the Trump-Russia conspiracy narrative seemingly designed to taint the presidency with the aura of treason.

With Trump’s major foreign policy speech today at the United Nations General Assembly, it was only a matter of which of those three news media outlets would drop an anonymously sourced story attempting to once again tie Trump to Russia despite the lack of any actual evidence.

As we learned last night, it was CNN’s turn. Lo and behold, the cable network that played a critical role in originally publicizing the existence of a largely discredited 35-page dossier on Trump released a new story last night trying to ratchet up the Russia conspiracy storyline.

CNN cited “three sources familiar with” the Russia investigation revealing that the government utilized a FISA court warrant to secretly snoop on former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort before and after the 2016 presidential election, including during periods when Manafort was known to have communicated with Trump.

One has to read to the bottom of the story to discover that the original warrant had nothing to do with the Trump campaign, but was first reportedly obtained in 2014 as part of another government investigation into consulting work done by Manafort and others for Ukraine’s former ruling party, according to the sources."

Fake News CNN was part of the Conspiracy, running this story to try to keep the NON-EXISTENT 'Collusion' Scandal alive when it had nothing to do with 'Trump-Russia Collusion'.

SSDD! No Evidence. No Collusion.

You can't cite Breitbart as a source while calling CNN "fake news" with a straight face.

You can call the Russia investigation a "smear campaign" while going apol

Their reasoning was because Manafort worked for the Party of Regions. BUT guess who else worked for the Party of Regions? The Podesta Group.

Obviously they were only targeting the Trump campaign.

The original FISA warrant was issued in 2014, long before Manaforte became Trump's campaign chairman. So Obama did not tape the Trump campaign. After Manaforte became Trump's campaign chair, the warrant was allowed to expire. The FBI reapplied for a NEW FISA warrant after he was fired because he was under criminal investigation.

Apparently you idiots didn't bother to read the article.

What are you talking about. The CNN article is very vague on the time lines. And the Obama administration hacks definitely targeted the Trump campaign.

"By then the FBI had noticed what counterintelligence agents thought was a series of odd connections between Trump associates and Russia."

Meanwhile the Podesta Group was on Capitol Hill lobbying for sanctions to be lifted on the Russian government bank. Sberbank. It's the Kremlin's bank. But it was the Trump team that needed to be investigated for their so called Russian connections.

Oh no freaking bias there. It's a witch hunt plain and simple.



"The media’s focus on Trump’s Russian connections ignores the much more extensive and lucrative business relationships of top Democrats with Kremlin-associated oligarchs and companies.

Thanks to the Panama Papers, we know that the Podesta Group (founded by John Podesta’s brother, Tony) lobbied for Russia’s largest bank, Sberbank.

“Sberbank is the Kremlin, they don’t do anything major without Putin’s go-ahead, and they don’t tell him ‘no’ either,” explained a retired senior U.S. intelligence official.

According to a Reuters report, Tony Podesta was “among the high-profile lobbyists registered to represent organizations backing Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich.” Among these was the European Center, which paid Podesta $900,000 for his lobbying.

That’s not all: The busy Podesta Group also represented Uranium One, a uranium company acquired by the Russian government which received approval from Hillary Clinton’s State Department to mine for uranium in the U.S. and gave Russia twenty percent control of US uranium. The New York Times reported Uranium One’s chairman, Frank Guistra, made significant donations to the Clinton Foundation, and Bill Clinton was paid $500,000 for one speech from a Russian investment bank that has “links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.”

Notably, Frank Giustra, the Clinton Foundation’s largest and most controversial donor, does not appear anywhere in Clinton’s “non-private” emails. It is possible that the emails of such key donors were automatically scrubbed to protect the Clinton Foundation.

Let’s not leave out fugitive Ukrainian oligarch, Dymtro Firtash. He is represented by Democratic heavyweight lawyer, Lanny Davis"

No One Mentions That The Russian Trail Leads To Democratic Lobbyists

Meeting with Russians and doing business with Russians isn't illegal. Inviting Russians to hack Hillary Clinton's email is illegal. If all of these meetings were so innocent, why did everyone on the Trump campaign lie about them?

The Russian interference in the election was all to aid Donald Trump. Putin didn't want Clinton as President.

The Russia investigations don't constitute a witch hunt. A witch hunt is 25 years of Republican investigations costing in excess of $100 million dollars of tax payer money which produced absolutely nothing but a lie about a blow job. No criminal charges, no evidence and no convictions. The target - Hillary Clinton.

Why not?

Breitbart is the most ligitimate source of news in the nation - hands down.

CNN isn't news at all, it is DNC advocacy and propaganda.

You hate them BECAUSE they are honest news. Facts are the greatest danger to you and your filthy party.

Doesn't matter, the Communists are having him murdered.

Meeting with Russians and doing business with Russians isn't illegal. Inviting Russians to hack Hillary Clinton's email is illegal.

So we FINALLY get to THE ORIGIN of snowflakes' belief in the faux 'Russian Collusion' conspiracy theory.

Let's frame the situation, shall we?!

Hillary Clinton had been 'asked politely' by Obama's boy Comey to turn in her private server, all of her devices, and all of her documents...when it was convenient for her to do so...as opposed to the militant raids on Trump Associates while CNN cameras rolled, raids in which the targets were NOT 'asked politely' to turn over their subpoenaed items 'when it was convenient' for them. No, unlike with Hillary, Comey would send in a full-scale armored / armed squad who SEIZED anything and everything ...and more...that was on the subpoena.

In Hillary's case, Hillary was ASKED to turn in 'everything'. Unlike with Trump associates, Hillary was GRANTED PERMISSION TO DELETE / DESTROY / PURGE anything on her server and devices SHE declared was 'personal' and which the FBI had 'NO RIGHT' to have / see.
-- To say allowing the subject of an investigation to decide FOR the FBI what the FBI could and could not have after being subpoenaed is, as the US IG stated, at the very least a 'deviation from standard FBI practices and protocols'. It was / is damn-near UNHEARD of...but that is what they allowed her to do.

'Surprisingly', it was reported that THOUSANDS of Hillary files and e-mails had gone 'missing' and that the FBI was attempting to recover them.

FLASHFORWARD TO THE DEBATE:

When the issue of Hillary's 'missing' e-mails / documents came up, Trump offered up something Democrats and snowflakes have proven over and over they do NOT understand / comprehend / register:

HUMOR

Trump had little faith in the FBI - OBAMA's FBI...and as we have discovered, Trump was RIGHT in not having any trust in former fired FBI Director Comey and his senior staff. Trump could see the obvious protection being given to Hillary, the slow-rolling of what was happening, and - like every other non-partisan American - he wanted Hillary's e-mails found. So Trump joked about not caring WHO found them, just as long as they were found. Russians? Trump JOKED about how he did not care if it was the Russians who were able to access them and release them to the public.

Granted, it was an ill-advised JOKE, but it was a JOKE just the same.

The FBI later announced publicly that they had RECOVERED over 15,000 OFFICIAL SUBPOENAED DOCUMENTS HILLARY HAD ATTEMPTED TO DESTROY - over 15,000 documents that showed Hillary lied to the FBI, had attempted to destroy official subpoenaed documents she initially claimed were 'personal' documents, AND that these 15,000+ recovered official subpoenaed documents showed Hillary had violated both the FOIA and Federal Records Act...meaning the FBI had over 15000 criminal counts of violating the FOIA, over 15000 criminal counts of violating the Federal Records Act, over 15000 criminal counts of obstruction, & over 15000 criminal counts of illegal destruction of classified information -- more than 60,000 - SIXTY THOUSAND criminal counts with which the FBI COULD have charged Hillary.
*** According to former FBI Agent Page, though, Obama's DOJ made it clear to her and Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe that it - the DOJ - had NO INTENTION OF PERSUING A CRIMINAL CASE AGAINST CLINTON.

Snowflakes always attempt to attempt to undermine the sources of information because they can not debunk / dispute the actual information being reported. Democrats and snowflakes have used the now debunked 'Russia Collusion' ploy - especially the faux accusation Trump had sent a direct message to Putin that debate night that he wanted Putin and the Russians to hack, recover, and release the DNC's and Hillary's e-mails and dirty little secrets - to distract from the REAL CRIMES exposed by the FBI when they publicly declared they had recovered those more than 15,000 official subpoenaed e-mails and documents Hillary illegally tried to destroy.

'The FBI recovered more than 15,000 official subpoenaed documents Hillary and her team tried to destroy instead of turn over to the FBI, and these documents showed she violated both the FOIA and Federal Records Act.'
-- 'YEAH, BUT DURING A DEBATE DONALD TRUMP USED THE TELEVISED DEBATE TO SEND VLADIMIR PUTIN A DIRECT MESSAGE / REQUEST FOR HIS ARMY OF HACKERS TO HACK INTO HILLARY'S PRIVATE SERVER AND RECOVER AND RELEASE ALL OF HILLARY'S MISSING E-MAILS!'

I always find it funny how snowflakes try to discredit the SOURCE of any reporting that shines a negative light on Democrats...because they can not debunk / disprove what it being reported. If they could, they would do so instead of always attacking the source for not being on the official Liberal Socialist Pre-Approved Faux News / Propaganda Distribution List.

take Crooked Obama to jail. lock him up!

US government wiretapped former Trump campaign chairman - CNNPolitics

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.

So you're equating the Trump campaign with terrorists? If the Obama DOJ misled the FISA court to obtain those warrants for wire taps on a political candidate then this goes beyond what Nixon did with the "plumbers" at the Watergate hotel! It's a clear case of abuse of power. Your claim that it's entirely legal when high ranking FBI and DOJ officials misled the court is amusing.

Then turns around and used Politifraud as his "source." Politifraud then uses itself and alter ego Punditfraud and the notorious fucking liars of Snopes.

One of the "lies" the leftist fucks at Polititfraud claim against Breitbart is that they supposedly believed a lie by the sleazy fucks over at Snopes;

Punditfraud uses themselves as their authority, of course;

{
"According to snopes.com, the inclusion of a bear in the flag was a mistake; it was supposed to be a pear."

Soon after the article went live, a few readers commented that Breitbart had been snookered. The Snopes article, they said, was a ruse.}

Imagine that, Snopes lying. It's true that Brietbart nor anyone else should NEVER believe a single word from the hacks at Snopes - they are NOTORIOUS fucking liars.

Nonetheless, the lie here is by Snopes.

And this is the way the little Goebbels of Politifraud and other demagogue hate sites work.
