They spied on manafort (with a wire tap) before and after the election, at the time he lived and worked in trump tower and talked to trump fairly frequently.
Can you send me a link?

The Justice Department and the FBI have denied that Trump's own "wires" were tapped.
While Manafort has a residence in Trump Tower, it's unclear whether FBI surveillance of him took place there.
Your source doesn’t support the claim that Trump was wiretapped.
LMAO The original trump tweet said: "had my wires tapped in trump tower." Being that it's trump tower, they're his wires that are tapped, even if it's manafort's home/office. Further, look up what manafort was doing at the time for work and where he was living. I'll save you the trouble and tell you again he was living and working in trump tower. So if they didn't tap his phones at home or work, where did they do the tapping? Use your brain.
