Things have gone from bad to worse for Trump officials targeted in Russia probe
"U.S. investigators wiretapped Manafort, a former Trump campaign chairman, both before and after the 2016 election, CNN reported Monday, due to their suspicions over his ties to Ukrainian and Russian operatives."
"And in July, after conducting a raid on his Alexandria, Virginia home, prosecutors working for special counsel Robert Mueller also warned Manafort that he’d soon be indicted, the New York Times reported on Monday."
"Flynn, who reportedly has more than seven lawyers working on his core legal team, tweeted out a link to a fund set up to help defray what his benefactors called the “tremendous costs of legal representation.”

Wow! Obama did wiretap Trump campaign!!! Incredible!
Trump was right! What did Obama know and when did he know it?
This will turn out to be a Democratic Watergate.
Don't be silly.
I do realize the acolytes are highly prone to distributing hysterical, hyperbolic bombast but, here are the facts:
"A secret order authorized by the court that handles the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) began after Manafort became the subject of an FBI investigation that began in 2014."
"It centered on work done by a group of Washington consulting firms for Ukraine's former ruling party"
"Such warrants require the approval of top Justice Department and FBI officials, and the FBI must provide the court with information showing suspicion that the subject of the warrant may be acting as an agent of a foreign power."
Then came "the Russia thing"
and FISA warrant #2 was issued.
For the same reasons listed above.
Hope that helps calm your fantasy.

Exclusive: US government wiretapped former Trump campaign chairman
"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."
"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."
"Special counsel Robert Mueller's team, which is leading the investigation into Russia's involvement in the election, has been provided details of these communications."

No , they are not on the t_rr_t sites yet.
But if it's again those lefties putting down Trump , I don't need to see it.
About 1GB and 1,5 hour better spend on other things.
Don't be silly.
You can watch "those lefties" on YouTube at your leisure.
No need to download.

A Look Inside the Hate-Filled Twitter Accounts That President Trump Retweeted
"President Donald Trump retweeted posts from two Twitter accounts Sunday —
both of which have histories of hate-filled posts including anti-Muslim sentiments."
"Trump retweeted a video, which was posted by a user with the handle "Fuctupmind" Sunday morning, that depicted him striking Hillary Clinton in the back with a golf ball."
"Trump also retweeted several images on Sunday from an account with the handle @Team_Trump45 that depicted the influence of his "Make America Great Again" agenda."

The occupier of the White House spends his time alone in the wee hours,
cruising racist, bigoted, Twitter accounts for inspiration.

You see this typical type of response from the leftie liberal minority.
They revert to name calling and insults fairly rapidly.
They really need to improve their argument, not increase the level of name calling.
I think what irks them the most is that the (lefty) media, the Hollywood 'stars', various singers and media tarts etc thought they had the election in the bag.
It doesn't happen very often as a lot of people let the loonie left hog the limelight -
until something really important to them comes along like a Presidential election.
Does anyone know how many of the nightie shredding movie stars and singers actually moved to Canada as they weeping proclaimed in the media shortly after King Donalds coronation?

Trump is normal - he found it very funny and just like thousands did, he tweeted to his followers.
Sure. Normal.
Consistantly re-Tweeting from racist, bigoted, anti-semitic sites.
Conceivably why you and others are attracted to him.
Perhaps "normal" in your world, but not in the majority.

"a drain on social security payments and food stamps"
A bunch of hyperbolic gibberish.
How is anyone "a drain on social security payments"?
Taxes paid by illegal immigrants
IRS estimates that about 6 million unauthorized immigrants file individual income tax returns each year.
Research reviewed by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office indicates that between 50 percent and 75 percent of unauthorized immigrants pay federal, state, and local taxes.
Illegal immigrants are estimated to pay in about $7 billion per year into Social Security.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_impact_of_illegal_immigrants_in_the_United_States
Illegal immigrants pay social security payroll taxes but are not eligible for benefits.
That's a $7 billion surplus, bubba.
A drain?
Who tells you this stuff? Rush Limbaugh? Alex Jones?
As for food stamps, hear hear!
Let's get rid of all these bums who are of the majority on food stamps:

Donald Trump's unpresidential presidency keeps hitting new lows
"That message -- a trollish attempt at humor with overtones of violence against women -- went out to Trump's 38.5 million Twitter followers and turned a Sunday expected to be focused on the President's preparations for the United Nations General Assembly meetings this week into a now-familiar White House circus."
"The simple fact is this: With every passing day, it becomes more and more clear that Trump not only will never act "presidential" but also seems to revel in taking the very word -- and concept -- and dragging it through the mud."
"Since winning the White House, Trump's promises of a presidential pivot have become fewer and farther between as he appears to have more fully embraced his Internet troll persona."
http://edition.cnn.com/2017/09/18/politics/trump-golf-ball-clinton/index.html
Well said.
A pathetic isolated elderly man with the mind of a trolling child.
This misogynist never will get over the fact that he lost to a woman by three million votes.

Felix Sater is cooperating with a money laundering investigation. That’s bad news for Trump.
"The Financial Times reported Thursday morning that Felix Sater, former business partner of President Donald Trump with deep ties to the Mafia and Russian government, is cooperating in an international investigation into an alleged money-laundering network."
"Sater has a history of channeling money from prominent families in the Eastern bloc into Trump properties."
"This could pose problems for Trump, given Sater’s history of outing former close associates in exchange for immunity."

Ex-Trump staffer says US President has ‘hung us out to dry’ over spiralling Russia probe legal costs
"One ex-aide says he has been forced to use his children's college fund to pay for a lawyer as another claims misleading statements by Trump officials gave Congress 'probable cause to destroy our lives at will'
"Another ex-campaign aide also revealed he had been forced to use his children’s college fund to pay for a lawyer to represent him during probes by special counsel Robert Mueller and Congress."
“Multi-billionaire Donald Trump has a moral obligation to pay the mounting legal bills of his advisers who are facing four-, five- and six-figure costs just for doing their jobs,” the ex-staffer said."
Thrown under the bus...

You never answered my question.
Don't you believe in Democracy? Oh let me see, you're an Anti-Trump supremacist.
It was the ignorant, inferior half of the country that vote for him. Do you believe this?
Pointless exercise to respond to false narratives.
To begin with, "half of the country" did not vote for him.
The acolytes are prone to hyperbole and distributing disinformation.
"Anti-Trump supremacist"; is that the new deflection du jour?
To answer your question,
it was the massively uninformed and perhaps willfully ignorant who placed this huckster in the White House.

Another example of an unhinged, disintegrating, elderly mind.
Fuctupmind, another glaring example the Twitter accounts this feeble minded occupier of the White House cruises:
Trump Retweeted A Video From An Anti-Semitic Account Showing Him Hitting Hillary Clinton With A Golf Ball
"President Trump on Sunday morning retweeted a doctored video showing him hitting Hillary Clinton with a golf ball — from an account that makes racial, anti-Semitic, and anti-LGBT comments."

Meet the racist birther Donald Trump just retweeted
"The post, by Twitter user Fuctupmind was part of a slew of early morning retweets of pro-Trump memes by the Preisdent. Fuctupmind has previously pedaled in a number of far-right conspiracy theories, including the belief that Obama is a Muslim, and that Hillary Clinton was involved in the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich."
"Fuctupmind also uses Gab, a social media platform which is popular with white nationalists."

CNN are a joke, only very misguided people would continue watching thsi nonsense.
Calm yourself.
No matter how hard you try to deflect, this has nothing to do with your opinion of CNN.
Reality is:
Investigating the White House and it's associates are:
The F.B.I.The House and Senate Intelligence Committees
The Senate Judiciary and House Oversight and Government Reform Committees
The Department of Justice with Special Counsel Mueller
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman along with the I.R.S. financial crimes unit
The Central Intelligence Agency
The National Security Agency
The Treasury Department
And the Grand Juries in Virginia and D.C.
The F.B.I has raided the house of the occupier of the White House' campaign manager, Paul Manafort.
In the case of NSA Michael Flynn, the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, and the Treasury Department, which also has a financial-crimes division are investigating him.
Grand Juries in Virginia and D.C. have been convened.
Federal prosecutors in eastern Virginia have already issued subpoenas to Flynn associates.
Another FBI target is Carter Page, one-time Trump campaign adviser on foreign-policy issues.
And the fact that the occupier of the White House' son admitted that he,
along with Senior Advisor to the White House Jared Kushner and said occupier's campaign manager,
Paul Manafort, held a clandestine meeting with agents from a foreign adversary, Russia.
Reality.

'Step right, step left': mercurial Trump leaves supporters reeling
"As Trump turned to Democrats for a second time in two weeks, Republicans on Capitol Hill were left wondering whether they had lost sway with the president despite having control of both chambers and a mounting legislative agenda."
"There was also a furious backlash from some in the Trump base, including a photo of a “Make America great again” hat going up in flames on the rightwing website Breitbart."
"What remained unclear was Trump’s strategy – if he has one."

Mike Pence, campaign transition chief who claimed he knew nothing of Michael Flynn's undisclosed work for foreign nations, and insisted on several occasions that there were no russian contacts or meetings whatsoever, lost his Chief of Staff in the recent past as well:
Mike Pence’s chief of staff resigns as Trump-Russia scandal heightens
"This one isn’t all that difficult to figure out: Mike Pence’s chief of staff didn’t sign up to run a Vice President’s office that will be defined and consumed by an ongoing criminal investigation into the President’s campaign."
"And so after less than six months on the job, he’s already out the door. Who’s next?
Vice President Pence Announces Departure of Longtime Aide and Chief of Staff, Josh Pitcock,
and Hiring of Nick Ayers as New Chief of Staff
"After more than twelve years of service to Vice President Mike Pence, including most recently as Chief of Staff, Josh Pitcock informed the Vice President of his intention to depart at the beginning of August."
"Pitcock served in several roles for Pence in Congress, including as his Chief of Staff, ran the DC Office for then Governor Pence, and was a senior advisor to Pence during the presidential campaign and transition."
More professionals who have seen the writing on the wall.
They are acutely aware of their counterparts who have fled the White House in the past and are being hung out to dry by the occupier, and forced to pay their own incurring, mounting legal costs.

It appears, the rats are fleeing the SS Pence as well:
Pence's press secretary to leave White House
"He worked as press secretary on Pence's reelection campaign for governor of Indiana and stayed in the spokesman role when Pence became Donald Trump's running mate."
"He was constantly by Pence's side on the campaign trail and has been a frequent surrogate for the administration on cable news."
"Lotter's departure marks the latest staff shake-up for Pence, who has avoided much of the infighting and leaking that has plagued the White House."

Watergate Veteran Takes Center Stage in Trump-Russia Probe
"Sources familiar with Bob Mueller’s investigation of Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 election confirmed to The Daily Beast that James Quarles is the probe’s point person for dealing with the White House."
"He communicates with the White House several times a week regarding Mueller’s queries, document requests,
and planned interviews."
"As the probe progresses, the White House team’s communication with Quarles has become increasingly frequent."
