manafort was wiretapped by the fbi before, and after the elections, while he was still communicating with trump, which means he is also likely surveilled.was wiretapped long before he was ever involved with the Trump campaign; and (c) was apparently *not* wiretapped while he did work on the campaign.

so this is correctThe government snooping continued into early this year, including a period when Manafort was known to talk to President Donald Trump.
susan rice had trump people surveilled too on non russia stuff and i remember the leaks immediately after trump's phone conversations with mexico, australian leaders.1. "Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!"
2. "Is it legal for a sitting President to be 'wire tapping' a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!"
3. "I'd bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!"
4. "How low has President Obama gone to tapp* my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!"
