Mr. Trump has hired two experienced Washington criminal defense lawyers to represent him in dealings with Robert Mueller, the independent special counsel who is investigating what connection, if any, there was between Mr. Trump?s presidential campaign and elements of the Russian government. Mr. Mueller has apparently struck a raw nerve in the West Wing of the White House, where Mr. Trump?s criminal defense lawyers and the White House legal counsel all work.

The nerve was struck over the appropriate response to document requests from Mr. Mueller. White-collar criminal investigations, of which this is one, often begin with documents.

The sudden FBI switch to silence no doubt means that the surveillance did take place, and it probably was pursuant to a search warrant. If the warrant was issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on the representation that Mr. Manafort was probably communicating with foreign officials, then the fruits of the surveillance could not be used against him in a criminal trial, but they could have been shared with Obama administration officials in the West Wing during the campaign. At least one of those officials has admitted receiving raw intelligence data from surveillance of people in Trump Tower in 2016.

If the warrant was issued pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, that means the FBI demonstrated under oath to a federal judge that Mr. Manafort was more likely than not involved in and communicating about crimes while working in Trump Tower, and the fruits of that surveillance could be used against him in a criminal prosecution, as well as against anyone else involved.

An indictment of Mr. Manafort, which Mr. Mueller says is coming soon, will be used as an instrument to flip him into spilling whatever beans he has on his former boss. And we can expect indictments of others presently or formerly near the president as part of the prosecutorial process.

    The light shines on both political parties and The NWO like it or not they are all the same. They peddle influence to the highest bidder! They are both guilty of Bribery in my opinion!

    You are the blind one here my friend! You stumbling behind the elephant or donkey makes no difference.

    It ain't over until the fat lady sings so your quote is nonsense like your post here is.

    he evidence was first gathered in 2009 and 2010, but Department of Justice officials waited until 2014 to bring any charges. In between that time, President Obama's multi-agency Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) gave approval to Russia's Rosatom to buy a Canadian mining company called Uranium One that controlled 20 percent of America's uranium deposits.

    The committee's members at the time included former Attorney General Eric Holder and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, whose husband, former President Bill Clinton, collected large speech fees and millions in charitable donations from Russia and other entities interested in the outcome of the decision.
