Exclusive: US government wiretapped former Trump campaign chairman (BREAKING!!!)
CNN.com ^ | September 18, 2017 | Evan Perez, Shimon Prokupecz and Pamela Brown

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.

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.

I didn’t say he was a late arrival. Didn’t comment on when he arrived. Being first or early in no way disproves my Trojan horse contention.

I just think the whole sequence of events that led to Mueller and his cabal is not a series of coincidences, and it stinks to high heaven. I do not see Sessions even trying to mitigate the damage or do things that would at least show that justice is even handed in his DOJ.

Added evidence of the Trojan Horse theory. A, Sessions lied bold-faced about Cruz [this was after Jeff was supporting Trump]. He said Cruz killed amnesty. Patently false—and Sessions later ***admitted*** it wasn’t true.

Bigger lie. On his security clearance application, Sessions claimed no interaction with Russia apart from official senatorial duties. A flaming lie. He had discussed the Trump campaign with the Russian ambassador. At the opprtune time [i.e.: when it would hurt Trump most] US intelligence agencies leaked that A, the Russian ambassador had reported the details of the conversation (with Sessions) to the Kremlin, and B, that phone call had been intercepted and recorded.

Traitor Sessions fell all over himself with his recusal. It saved his hide while throwing Trump to the wolves.

Sessions is not an honorable man. When he learned that his conversation with the Russian ambassador was public knowledge he should have told Trump about it. Before recusing himself he should have offered the option of his resignation.

Instead Sessions unleashed Mueller on Trump and his supporters. He is a scoundrel, pure and simple.

I repeat:

When you scroll down and get to the picture just close your eyes or put your hand over them. No peeking! Keep scrolling until the picture is no longer on the screen. You ask how do you know when the picture is no longer on the screen you say?

Exactly.

When some people attempted to follow up on why Obama’s Social Security Number was not accessible through E-Verify they received the following form letter from the Social Security Administration: “In addition to our rigorous safeguards designed to protect the personal information of all individuals in our databases, we have further security restrictions in place to prevent unauthorized access of Social Security records of select national figures.

We share response information only with our trusted partners who are authorized to use our verification services.

Safeguarding the public’s information has been an important issue ever since the creation of Social Security. In 1937, the first regulation adopted by the Social Security Board outlined the rules regarding privacy and disclosure of Social Security records. Through the years, other regulations and the Privacy Act have further defined our responsibilities to ensure the confidentiality of the information we collect and hold.”

So Obama didn’t “fail” E-Verify, those who were trying to check his SS # through E-Verify were blocked from doing so because they weren’t “trusted partners.”

You will believe ANYTHING. I will never be so blindly devoted to a politician as you are to Obama. I will never be so blindly trusting of corrupt government officials as you are.

Skip tracer Al Hendershot was raided by the FBI, handcuffed and searched. His computer was confiscated. What was his crime? He is the person who discovered whose SS# Obama is using. During the fascist Obama years, that was a crime.

Read the entire article. Every word. Obama SS# is fraudulent. It’s been proven.

Several birthers pretended to be employers and accessed the E-Verify system illegally. They were lucky that nobody pressed charges.
Here is what Mr. Hendershot wrote on his blog: “Evidentiary finding #3:

“This was a SSN verification that was completed in 2008 using Obama’s name associated with the stolen 042-68-4425 with his name listed as the owner. The result came back as a failure because naturally his name was never legally associated with that number.”

Actually the result came back as failure because those attempting to use E-Verify were never employers seeking to hire or verify an employee’s Social Security number.

But nice try!
The Social Security number meme was always among the sillier of birther claims. The Obamas had put federal income tax returns online from 2000 to 2015. Does anyone in their right mind (you excluded of course) think that the IRS is going to allow someone with a phony or fake Social Security number to file 1040s for 15 years? We’re talking about many years before there was any thought of runnng for president. Get real.

So you didn’t read the interview with Al Hendershot. Instead you raced off to one of your moonbat rabid Leftist sites and copied their info. With the typical level of dishonesty that is all that keeps Obama-worship alive, the site you ran to omitted all the information of importance. This wholesale misrepresentation of facts is the stock in trade of Obots. How it deceives anyone with an IQ above 85—if indeed it ever does—is the real mystery.

Btw, I notice that you skipped over the fact that AL Hendershot was raided by the FBI. What, in that pathetically cherry-picked post of yours, was so egregious that it warranted handcuffing, computer confiscation, etc.?

Honestly, it takes all my patience to deal with you Obots. Can you at least come up with the crime Hendershot was accused of? Or in your world is it typical and acceptable for the FBI to swoop down on totally innocent people who are not even accused of any kind of wrongdoing, handcuff them, search them and take their computer (by which they make their living)?

I’ve said it before. If Obots could think, they wouldn’t be Obots.

agreed!! perhaps we should compose a list of miscreants to send to our legislators.... Let’s see, there’s Obama agency heads, every single solitary one of them, who lied their asses off, knowing they were lying to the American people,and to Congress,-—— if we don’t put a HALT to this shit, we are sure to have much, much more of the same.

Would Maobama have sicced the FBI after anyone who wiretapped HIM? You can bet your last dollar! GOP plays nice, while evil respects only strength.

“And I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that Hillary is saying TODAY that she’s thinking of “challenging the election”.

We will find out very soon if Ryan (Romney) and McConnell (Bush) are in on the game. “

Yes, that does make sense.

Whatever are you implying here as you have responded in kind. Your question becomes hypocritical with your response. So sad to be you.

For all the illegal snooping, the Dems sure have been on the losing side a lot.
