Obama's Watergate: Six months later, CNN confirms what was widely reported — and ignored on the left — last MarcH


From The Spectator:
Vladimir Putin did not hack the election. Barack Obama did. 
Donald Trump said earlier this year that the Obama Administration wiretapped his campaign. “Like I’d want to hear more from that fool?” President Obama scoffed. 
But CNN reported on Monday, “US investigators wiretapped former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort under secret court orders before and after the election…. The government snooping continued into early this year, including a period when Manafort was known to talk to President Donald Trump.” 
The network labeled their story an exclusive. But, in fact, Breitbart, radio host Mark Levin, the realDonaldTrump Twitter account, and numerous other sources reported the wiretapping more than six months ago. 
In the wake of the belated bombshell, other voices at CNN hung on, precariously but unabashedly, to the dated narrative. 
In a story updated subsequent to CNN confirming the Obama administration’s surveillance on Manafort and noting his residence in Trump Tower, CNN reporter Manu Raju continued to characterize the president’s accusation affirmed by his network as Trump’s “unsubstantiated claim that Obama had Trump Tower wiretapped during the election to spy on him.”
GO READ THE WHOLE THING.

Isn't this like 1000 times more significant that watergate ? Since they used the corrupt bought and paid for intelligence community to do it?
