(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.

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

FBI director Comes purposely throws the election to ensure HRC's loss but at the same time was investigating, an actual open investigation, and never says a fucking word.

Comey knew these traitors were dirty but he allowed a traitor into the WH. Did he really want the job as director THAT bad?

Fuck you. That is what you get.

Wiretapping during a campaign. This is what I expect a President to do against an enemy.

I am so glad Obama was President and am sad Hillary was screwed.

He probably thinks he can just pay a fine and BS his way out like he's always done.

major hit on Hillary yesterday. Remember Trump most likely got FYI from the Spooks. His actions seem to follow this heads up.

Meanwhile,where is Donnie Dipstick partner in Crime Pence.
