Trump slams FBI for not warning him Manafort was under investigation

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Trump went after the Department of Justice and the FBI on Wednesday, arguing that his 2016 campaign team should have been warned that campaign chairman Paul Manafort was under investigation at the time.

In a tweet, Trump questioned why law enforcement didn't "tell me" that Manafort was being investigated at the time of his hiring, noting that his former aide had previously worked for GOP figures such as President Reagan and Sen. Bob Dole (R-Kan.).

"Paul Manafort worked for Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole and many other highly prominent and respected political leaders. He worked for me for a very short time. Why didn’t government tell me that he was under investigation. These old charges have nothing to do with Collusion — a Hoax!" Trump wrote.

CNN previously reported last September that Manafort, who joined Trump's campaign shortly before the Republican National Convention in 2016, was in under surveillance by the FBI over questions surrounding his lobbying activities in Ukraine since at least 2014.

4. Personal responsibility

is so hard for republicans. Maybe, cause your boss put him there, then he put your Vice President there. Might want to talk to Pence.

I am surprised at how little attention the Pence-Manafort connection has been given. From what I remember long long ago in 2016, that it was Manafort who suggested Pence as VP during his "short" employment with the Trump Campaign CHAIRMAN. Pence met with Russians too. I guess they want to get all the small fish before going for the big ones.

Trump believes in personal responsibility for everyone but himself. Republicans are the same.

5. Why should the government do so, when they already knew you were up to your fake hair with Russians?

They figured you already knew the extent to which he was lobbying for Pro-Russian groups.

6. The FBI isn't tasked with vetting coffee boys.

7. Why would the FBI tell any candidate about its investigation?

8. They warned him and his crew that foreign agents might contact their campaign

and to report to FBI if approached, but they ignored that warning that was given to his campaign staff and then lied about meetings with Russians.

9. Yeh! And why didn't the FBI tell US that Rump was

under investigation during the runup to the election? They told us about Hillary.
