There were Russian mobsters headquartered in Trump Tower? But.....but.....but.....I thought Trump has nothing to do with the Russians......he said so himself. He also claimed to have nothing to do with any mobsters. This must be a mistake.......(insert sarcasm here).

PFC Jim Wheeler - If the Russian ambassador had leased space in Trump Tower and the FBI conducted surveillance of said Russian ambassador, wouldn't that be okay? Just curious.

PFC Jim Wheeler - I admire your faith in Trump......I just think it's misplaced. I hope I'm wrong.......and all that smoke does not mean there is a fire......but I'm not as optimistic about this as you are. In my opinion, Trump has shown himself to not be a moral man on many occasions......and as such, I'm reluctant to give him the benefit of the doubt on moral positions.

MAJ James Woods I'm sure there is supposed to be a point there, but I can't find it. The FBI can investigate whomever they please, as long as they follow the lawful process. Just like they are currently investigating President Trump. Why would you think that I believe they aren't allowed to investigate people on U.S. soil?
SSgt Gary Andrews I'm afraid I may not have been clear enough. I actually have very little faith in President Trump; I just don't care for unsupported accusation. I don't suspect they'll find any evidence of illegal activity, for the reasons mentioned, but I don't for one second believe him to be a man of integrity or character. I just prefer to wait for evidence before I make an accusation against someone.

PFC Jim Wheeler - I can respect that......I wasn't exactly making an accusation....just expressing my opinion on where I think this is going, based on all the information out there in the public arena at present. We will see what we will see as it plays out. If I'm wrong about this, I'll be the first to admit it.

Any chance that wire was still activated, reactivated, or used during the campaign era. Was the wire ever actually anywhere near Donald Trump, with the thousands in Trump Tower daily, does anyone claim Trump even knew anything about any alleged Russian mobsters there. Did anything ever come of that wire tap? A lot of missing information here.

I doubt it. Even if it was an active wire it wouldn't be in the parts of the building that Trump would use. The russsians would have stayed in leased rooms (or floors), not in Trump's private suites.

Yes, a LOT came from the wire tap. The FBI prosecuted a bunch of those Russians in 2013, the leader however fled America and went back to Russia. So it wasn't like they were hiding the wiretap. Here is a bit of news on it.

Russian mafia boss still at large after FBI wiretap at Trump Tower
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...

Evidence must have been pretty compelling for the FBI to admit its probe and then try to cover it up with a probe into Russian organized crime? We did it, no we didn't, yes we did, did we, I don't know!
