  The CNN report also stated that the Manafort surveillance began after he became the subject of an FBI investigation in 2014. Some commentators cited this report as vindication for Trump’s claims, while others noted that it did not confirm the accuracy of Trump’s original tweets, and that it is still unknown whether any surveillance of Manafort took place at Trump Tower.[6][7] Manafort owned a condominium in Trump Tower from 2006 until its seizure by federal authorities following his 2018 convictions.[8][9

  I don’t think this is saying what this community want to believe it’s saying.

    Now do the (wholly fabricated, and known so by all using it) Steel Dossier and boy Biden being paid $50k/mo by Ukraine operatives…

    Sure.

    1. There is no Steel Dossier. I will assume you typoed Steele.
    2. Mr Steele reportedly said he had been interviewed by Mr Mueller’s team for two days but was “surprised that very little of what I had discussed with them appeared in the final report.” In fact, I can find no evidence that the “all” you refer to as using the Steele Dossier exist - no one appears to be “using it” for anything.
    3. “boy Biden” is an ambiguous term. I will assume “boy” means “Hunter”.
    4. The only connection I can find between Hunter and the number “50,000” or thereabouts is that that is the rounded value of how much Hunter Biden was paying $49,910 every three months for office space in D.C.
    5. “Ukraine operatives” is also ambiguous, and I’m not sure what to do with it. It is absolutely easily-confirmed public knowledge that Hunter made money from Burisma - about 11 million in 6 years, or ballpark 153k per month. Is there something there you want to delve into?
