I'll make a bet with you. If we eventually learn that Manafort was not campaign manager when the FISA warrant was approved then you can have my image avatar for 30 days. If we learn that the warrant decision came down when Manafort was campaign manager then I get yours. Deal?
As for your #2 point, I'm not suggesting that Manafort be exempt from investigation because of his political status. I'm questioning the FISA court, its legal processes and obligations, and the Obama DOJ's 'evidence' against Manafort. At what point do we look at ~3 years of investigation (including domestic surveillance - which, make no mistake, is not in the same league as 'FBI scrutiny') and somehow continue denying that political foul play is the phrase we're looking for?
