"US government wiretapped former Trump campaign chairman"

Via Drudge:  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.

An honest man....soon to be trashed by the media.

You can't get much further away in political Ideology and belief than I am with respect to Dennis Kucinich. He is as liberal as you can get and as a Congressman was all about abortion and gun control and wasting our money on dubious liberal bullshit. But I have to respect him as an honest guy. Sort of reminds me of Robert Cook who you remember posting on that other place. You don't have to agree with anything he says to acknowledge his integrity.

Recently Congressman Kucinich stated that he had no doubt that President Trump and his campaign was wiretapped. Because he had been wiretapped as a sitting Congressman. Just as in the case with the Trump campaign there are transcripts of a private call between Kucinich and the Libyan government. Read about here at RealClearPolitics.

The left and the media are scrambling to ridicule President Trumps claim that Obama wiretapped his campaign. When just last week they were quoting transcripts and demanding everyone from General Flynn to Jeff Sessions to the President resign because of some make believe scandal. One tweet changed all that. Now they are circling the wagons around the Jug Eared Jesus and screeching that all the stuff they were quoting from never happened.
