There, indeed, was an FBI wiretap involving Russians at Trump Tower.

But it was not placed at the behest of Barack Obama and the target was not the Trump campaign of 2016. For two years ending in 2013, the FBI had a court-approved warrant to eavesdrop on a sophisticated Russian organized crime money laundering network that operated out of unit 63A in Trump Tower.

The FBI investigation led to a federal grand jury indictment of more than 30 people, including one of the world’s most notorious Russian mafia bosses, Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov. Known as the “Little Taiwanese,” Tokhtakhounov was the only target to slip away, and he remains a fugitive from American justice.

Five months after the April 2013 indictment and after Interpol issued a “red notice” for Tokhtakhounov, the fugitive appeared near Donald Trump in the VIP section of the Moscow Miss Universe pageant. Trump had sold the Russian rights for Miss Universe to a billionaire Russian shopping mall developer.

2. Can the country now watch this "guy" frog step into a van?

he has criminals all around him, just read David Cay Johnston book The Making of Donald Trump

Amazing........................Lock him up, Lock him up, Lock him up


So Donald did the FBI tell you that they were wire tapping this apartment, I don't think so, and somehow you think they wiretapped you. "If" you didn't do anything wrong then you have no problems do you?

Did you by chance go into this room, did you have coffee and donuts to just shoot the proverbial sh**t?
