Apparently Manaforts phone was tapped. Trump was right. Obama did tap the phones of his campaign.
Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!
So he didn't say the phones of his campaign he said that his personal wires were tapped.
And he implied that Obama made the order.
Manafort is not Trump.
The FBI was casing Manafort for a while. He happened to have a residence in Trump tower.
Maybe Obama was informed at some point (he wouldn't be told of every single FBI wire tap) but that is different that saying Obama had the wires tapped.
And there was cause for the FBI to do this.
Now we may find out that illegal discussions with Trump occured while listening to Manafort. If that happened, it would be cause to the surveil Trump.
Spying on Trump because he was the opposition candidate would be very wrong, but doing so because of a true lead would be different.
And if something illegal is found ...
Lock Trump up!
