Is there a single person who ever doubted they were?

But it was her turn...

>cnn reporting this

what

Come on user Sup Forums always believes what CNN says

nobody trusted CNN before but now that they're telling the truth all of a sudden people think the just thing is about to happen plato style. quite the contrary. the legacy media supports the establishment. the legacy media represents the intelligence agencies. when they start telling the truth, you should be even more worried about what that means.

Russians hacked the elections. End of story. This is just stupid damage control nonsense.

TRUMP

WAS

RIGHT

AGAIN

>now that they're telling the truth

?????????????????

>OBAMA WIRETAPPED TRUMP TOWER

Confirmed now, they wiretapped Paul Manafort who was in Trump Tower. Trump was right again!

How is he right? He said Obama was wiretapping him in his home, this is about his campaign manager ordered by FISA, probably Obama had no idea of it.

Trump said Obama "Tapped" his campaign and "tapped" was in quotes. Obongo wiretapped the Trump Tower, which Trump owns and lives in.

>Obama doesn't control his own agencies

Your boy spied on a political rival. That's a big no-no.

Trump tower is his home...

Also reporting Trump's wiretapping claims still false.

IT WAS HER TURN

>obama wiretapped trump
>but let me tell you obama didn't wiretap trump

They were, this story looks related to this:
nytimes.com/2017/09/18/us/politics/mueller-russia-investigation.html
>The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, then followed the house search with a warning: His prosecutors told Mr. Manafort they planned to indict him, said two people close to the investigation.

Manafort is fucked, question is now how many he takes with him.

so what's going to happen? it was probably under a rubber Stamped FISA warrant, so technically legal but unethical as fuck. If there was anything illegal CNN wouldnt even mention this.

So are they trying to reignite the Russia probe because that shady fuck Manafort probably did do something illegal. I'm trying to figure out why CNN woulf start telling the truth now. like said, the new only tells the truth to further a bigger lie. What is it?

jew*

Didn't he cut a deal a while back?

>US investigators wiretapped former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort under secret court orders before and after the election, sources tell CNN, an extraordinary step involving a high-ranking campaign official now at the center of the Russia meddling probe.

>The government snooping continued into early this year, including a period when Manafort was known to talk to President Donald Trump.

>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. Two of these sources, however, cautioned that the evidence is not conclusive.

>Special counsel Robert Mueller's team, which is leading the investigation into Russia's involvement in the election, has been provided details of these communications.

>A secret order authorized by the court that handles the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) began after Manafort became the subject of an FBI investigation that began in 2014. It centered on work done by a group of Washington consulting firms for Ukraine's former ruling party, the sources told CNN.

>The surveillance was discontinued at some point last year for lack of evidence, according to one of the sources.

>The FBI then restarted the surveillance after obtaining a new FISA warrant that extended at least into early this year.

>Sources say the second warrant was part of the FBI's efforts to investigate ties between Trump campaign associates and suspected Russian operatives. Such warrants require the approval of top Justice Department and FBI officials, and the FBI must provide the court with information showing suspicion that the subject of the warrant may be acting as an agent of a foreign power.

>Trump said Obama "Tapped" his campaign and "tapped" was in quotes. Obongo wiretapped the Trump Tower, which Trump owns and lives in.

Great but none of that is in that CNN article.

>It is unclear when the new warrant started. The FBI interest deepened last fall because of intercepted communications between Manafort and suspected Russian operatives, and among the Russians themselves, that reignited their interest in Manafort, the sources told CNN. As part of the FISA warrant, CNN has learned that earlier this year, the FBI conducted a search of a storage facility belonging to Manafort. It's not known what they found.

>The conversations between Manafort and Trump continued after the President took office, long after the FBI investigation into Manafort was publicly known, the sources told CNN. They went on until lawyers for the President and Manafort insisted that they stop, according to the sources.

>It's unclear whether Trump himself was picked up on the surveillance.

>The White House declined to comment for this story. A spokesperson for Manafort didn't comment for this story.

>Manafort previously has denied that he ever "knowingly" communicated with Russian intelligence operatives during the election and also has denied participating in any Russian efforts to "undermine the interests of the United States."

>The FBI wasn't listening in June 2016, the sources said, when Donald Trump Jr. led a meeting that included Manafort, then campaign chairman, and Jared Kushner, the President's son-in-law, with a Russian lawyer who had promised negative information on Hillary Clinton.

>That gap could prove crucial as prosecutors and investigators under Mueller work to determine whether there's evidence of a crime in myriad connections that have come to light between suspected Russian government operatives and associates of Trump.

>bragging about how the FBI showed enough evidence to a judge in order to get a wire tap
>bragging about betraying your country and accepting outside help and money
DURR DIS IS IT. DOLAND T. (I'M A GLOBALIST) TRUMP 2020

Fucking nigger... Seems like you don't understand All Trump's great power!

>Origins of the FBI's interest in Manafort

>The FBI interest in Manafort dates back at least to 2014, partly as an outgrowth of a US investigation of Viktor Yanukovych, the former Ukrainian president whose pro-Russian regime was ousted amid street protests. Yanukovych's Party of Regions was accused of corruption, and Ukrainian authorities claimed he squirreled millions of dollars out of the country.

>Investigators have spent years probing any possible role played by Manafort's firm and other US consultants, including the Podesta Group and Mercury LLC, that worked with the former Ukraine regime. The basis for the case hinged on the failure by the US firms to register under the US Foreign Agents Registration Act, a law that the Justice Department only rarely uses to bring charges.

>All three firms earlier this year filed retroactive registrations with the Justice Department.

>It hasn't proved easy to make a case.

>Last year, Justice Department prosecutors concluded that there wasn't enough evidence to bring charges against Manafort or anyone of the other US subjects in the probe, according to sources briefed on the investigation.

>The FBI and Justice Department have to periodically seek renewed FISA authorization to continue their surveillance.

>As Manafort took the reins as Trump campaign chairman in May, the FBI surveillance technicians were no longer listening. The fact he was part of the campaign didn't play a role in the discontinued monitoring, sources told CNN. It was the lack of evidence relating to the Ukraine investigation that prompted the FBI to pull back.

so Trump was wiretapped.

All rumors I think. I assume we'll know when someone cuts a deal since the only deal Mueler is going to take is direct evidence linking this shit to someone currently in the White House. Otherwise they're already pretty high up and ladder and can probably easily work their way backwards towards smaller fries.

This is correct

>Renewed surveillance

>Manafort was ousted from the campaign in August. By then the FBI had noticed what counterintelligence agents thought was a series of odd connections between Trump associates and Russia. The CIA also had developed information, including from human intelligence sources, that they believed showed Russian President Vladimir Putin had ordered his intelligence services to conduct a broad operation to meddle with the US election, according to current and former US officials.

>The FBI surveillance teams, under a new FISA warrant, began monitoring Manafort again, sources tell CNN.

>The court that oversees government snooping under FISA operates in secret, the surveillance so intrusive that the existence of the warrants only rarely become public.

>For that reason, speculation has run rampant about whether Manafort or others associated with Trump were under surveillance. The President himself fueled the speculation when in March he used his Twitter account to accuse former President Barack Obama of having his "wires tapped" in Trump Tower.

>The Justice Department and the FBI have denied that Trump's own "wires" were tapped.
While Manafort has a residence in Trump Tower, it's unclear whether FBI surveillance of him took place there.

>Manafort has a home as well in Alexandria, Virginia. FBI agents raided the Alexandria residence in July.

>The FBI also eavesdropped on Carter Page, a campaign associate that then candidate Trump once identified as a national security adviser. Page's ties to Russia, including an attempt by Russian spies to cultivate him, prompted the FBI to obtain a FISA court warrant in 2014.

wut? How does that work

>Secret laws interpreted by secret courts issuing secret rulings where only the government is represented
>Free country

Who gives a shit?

Idk, they brought the tweet up and the cuck said he's still not vindicated. Literally can't listen to that shit for more than a minute or two at a time.

fellow maga pedes xD
this is uh AWEOOOVEMENT XDDDDDJdviodfhvodirhngo hdfgohjd09fh xdo hahahahaha WELP BACK TO LE REDDIT XDDD

We listened to conversations with Trump but it wasn't surveillance??

Bump

Boom. If there was any dirt on Trump in existence anywhere, it would've come out before Election Day. Having someone without a career in politics meant very little to no skeletons in the closet for (((them))) to leverage. The "Grab 'em by the pussy" was their Hail Mary at 4th and long, and they choked miserably.
/bread

He probably will get re-elected after accepting the DREAM anchor babies he'll go ahead and grant amnesty to 11 million illegals and win in a landslide. and pol will celebrate and talk about how 7 demensional his moves are.

On what charge, exactly?

Why would CNN report this? Are they finally off the payroll?

They're only /threatening/ it because they know they can't actually pull it off. There's no charge and no indictment to be had.

Trump: "I was wiretapped!"

Dems: "Ha! What an idiot. You weren't wiretapped."

CNN: "Trump was wiretapped"

Trump was right once again.

drumpf btfo

What exactly did Manafort do that is illegal? He helped political dissidents in Ukraine? Since when has the US government ever brought a wealthy person to jail for messing in other countries politics?

>according to three sources familiar with the investigation

What if they get Trump on these little things that the dems themselves do, and then use the Awan scandal as a minor bust in the DNC as limited hangout to make it all seem legit and unbiased? I really think they could pull something this shitty. I wish thse people knew how corrupt the DNC and RNC is. People will just buy into the narrative. It is infuriating.

Proof. Lock him up.

>2008
>Bush doesn't give a fuck about who's the next President only cares about what time his helicopter leaves the WH

Is this the same Ukraine company that is tied to Podesta the Molesta?

Shilling began in earnest a couple days ago, coinciding with this happening. I find it really interesting. Why are these shilling groups so connected to the base of corruption?

They obtained a fisa warrant you shit heads.

>the government gave the government secret approval to spy on somebody the government didnt like
2/10 bait because i replied

No they didn't. The judge turned it down twice.

fake news

trump is hitler

What the fuck America?...
Didn't Trump say he was being wire tapped by Obama?
Isn't what Obama did essentially what got Nixon impeached?
Seriously, how do people in America make heads or tails of the news anymore. It's all dog shit reasoning...

Will Obama be charged or is Obama immune because he's a President.

Nixon wasn't charged.

Also is this fake news? Obama already said Trumps conversations were not wiretapped.

it's insane right now. both sides are cheering at this news.
libs think this proves Russia, trump supporters think this proves the wiretapping claim.
I'm just sitting here trying to figure out why CNN of all places would report this

I'll fisa your mom's ass. They duped the court, and FBI are going to jail

we do, eat a bullet you commie puke

No but he ordered the wiretapping

Obama lied about being a US citizen and also about marrying a woman so I wouldn't deep throat his cock too much, leaf fag.

Do you realize just how little "evidence" is required to get a warrant from the secret FISA court? It's secret for a reason

Is this fake news. Obama already said Trumps campaign was not wiretapped.

Can Obama be charged or is he immune as he's a President?

Nixon wasn't charged.

>Say hello to Trump 2020.

More like say hello to prison Drumph

soy boys get the rope

Can they charge Obama or is he immune?

Nixon wasn't charged.

All horseshit. The CIA and a few leftist fucks in the FBI literally made all the Russia shit up to delegitimize his presidency. The CIA knew Hillary was going to get buttfucked long before she did

lmao have these weenies not realized that this is bad for trump?

This.

There was no Russian meddling. Only meddling

"We need a FISA for Trump and everyone he knows including family, friends, and all deep sate actors we may be able to put in to place to blackmail him or make him look corrupt."
"Why?"
"Because he announced he is running for president as a Republican."
"Nuf said senpai, done."

I think they made it up because they thought she might have a chance to lose. They also were probably intelligent fucked since wikileaks was dropping truth and the CIA had zero clue where it was coming from. That's why the manufactured the Russian collusion meme.

...and Sup Forums was right again

They have to accuse Trump of colluding with the Russians to conver for the illegal surveillance.

Duh.

We should be asking why now? What's forcing them to finally cover a story they would otherwise continue to ignore?

Millions, if you read and believed the news after Trump tweeted that Obama '"wiretapped'" him.

Awan's laptop has FISA request/approval proof from the Dems that shows treason by the departing admin.

>Sup Forums thinks this is good for trump

pfttttahahahahahahaah

>He said Obama was wiretapping him in his home
>in his home

No, he didn't. But I do love the Progressive fixation on irrelevant, sometimes fabricated, details.

Hopefully someone murders Obama. I want to see him get tortured on video

You're non digits confirm this is a lie and you or a family member will die before 9/23. Keep your shitty liberal fake news in Europe.
