Ok I'll ask you again. If they wore tapped Manafort, who was in charge of Trumps campaign, would they then wiretap Trump if they found anything nerfarious related to Russia? And if they didn't wiretap Trump wouldn't that lead you to believe the Russia narrative is bogus?
What? No. You can't just wiretap anyone at random because you've wiretapped someone close to them.
Manafort was wiretapped for reasons unrelated to the campaign, back in 2014. This resulted in a criminal investigation that resulted in new domestic wiretaps being opened, which spanned the course of the campaign. This neither implicates or vindicates trump (well it makes trump look like an ass for his "i pick the best people and totally vet them". It's a separate investigation. I'm not sure how you're having trouble with this.
