Some people in the CIA, NSA, FBI, Justice Dept, Cabinet offices and State Dept need federal indictments, prosecutions, convictions and long prison sentences.

Using the power of the federal government against political opponents, for political reasons, is third world banana republic tactics which have no place in a Constitutional Republic.

Paul Manafort is not DT .. where did you see anything about wiretapping DT? He talked to someone who was under suspicion for good reason.. and at one time in his employ. Details can make or break a case ..

Newsflash: Trump owned the building, ergo, Trump was wiretapped.

Not only does President Trump own Trump Tower but his conversations with Paul Manafort were wiretapped. That may be only the tip of the iceberg that's been exposed.

This is unacceptable on any level of Presidential..Obama...governance.

Indeed Randall..."Lock them up"!

As usual it seems you haven't bothered to read thru what you posted. Nowhere is Trump Tower mentioned and if Manafort had an office or apartment there it doesn't follow that DT himself was being tapped. unless you want to suggest that everyone in Trump Tower is tied to DT in some way? Those apartments are sold to individual tenants.

They were tapping Manafort 3 years ago.. along with others you might not object so much to

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 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

It seems fairly clear though, that DT thought he could talk to someone who was being tapped without risking being heard himself. That could indicate innocence..or not.. but it makes his complaints of victimization ridiculous.

The release of secret/confidential information which is part of an federal
investigation is a federal felony. Using a federal agency or agencies to snoop, wiretap or institute surveillance against political opponents is also felonious.

Time for Jeff Sessions to un-recuse himself and start investigating leaks to the idiot press from Congress, congressional staff and federal agencies...or resign his position.
