US government wiretapped former Trump campaign chairman - CNNPolitics
'As Manafort took the reins as Trump campaign chairman in May, the FBI surveillance technicians were no longer listening. ', "Sources say the second warrant was part of the FBI's efforts to investigate ties between Trump campaign associates and suspected Russian operatives."
'Washington (CNN) 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. ', "While Manafort has a residence in Trump Tower, it's unclear whether FBI surveillance of him took place there."
'The government snooping continued into early this year, including a period when Manafort was known to talk to President Donald Trump. '

They wire tapped Manafort so they could listen to his conversations with Trump. Meaning they listened to Trump, meaning Trump was wiretapped.
It was all a pretext to spy on Trump's campaign. They tried to dig up some dirt on him and failed but they made up Pissgate anyway. Then they used whatever pretext they could to spy on Trump, even after the FISA court denied their first warrant... The same court rebuked Obama for spying on "up to" 5% of the US population with bulk collection and unmasking. The documents have been out there for months.
And this was all because of one 'ping' from a russian server to Trump Tower. https://imgtc.com/xw5HdAN (tangentially, isn't it funny seeing all of these Hillary fans who've become experts on email servers all of a sudden?)
This isn't just a retraction though - this is going to fuck Pres. Obama "Biggly". This is basically FISA Court Fraud rolled into Illegal Surveillance of a DNC competitors campaign. If "Water Gate" was bad for spying on a campaign... Imagine if Nixon had his FISA warrants fraudulently taken out and an official FBI wiretap of the entire campaign??????

Yes. The entire time that Pres. Obama was at the helm, Trump Tower was wiretapped as were his Campaign Chief.
Disgusting and 100x worse than Watergate.
