Not apparently, it was.
FISA warrants are a dime a dozen.

The surveillance was discontinued at some point last year for lack of evidence, according to one of the sources. The FBI then restarted the surveillance after obtaining a new FISA warrant that extended at least into early this year.

It also stopped for lack of evidence, oddly it magically restarted.

Not so sure anymore

As Manafort took the reins as Trump campaign chairman in May, the FBI surveillance technicians were no longer listening. The fact he was part of the campaign didn't play a role in the discontinued monitoring, sources told CNN. It was the lack of evidence relating to the Ukraine investigation that prompted the FBI to pull back.

Manafort was ousted from the campaign in August.
quote:
The FBI surveillance teams, under a new FISA warrant, began monitoring Manafort again, sources tell CNN.

I'm going to go on the record and say, "I'm sexually attracted to Robert Mueller." Bob. And, it's getting more intense every day.

It is unclear when the new warrant started. The FBI interest deepened last fall because of intercepted communications between Manafort and suspected Russian operatives, and among the Russians themselves, that reignited their interest in Manafort, the sources told CNN.
The way it is written it sounds like the FBI didn't seek the new surveillance warrant until the fall of last year. So the old warrant expired before Manafort was a part of the campaign and the new warrant was probably issued after he had been fired.
Highly doubt this provided any evidence against anyone not named Manafort

So a win win for Trump. According to your statements, Trump could not be part of the issues which led to surveillance and he was right about trump tower being wiretapped.
How is this not a huge win for trump?

Except that whole Trump Tower being under surveillance was wrong. His own DOJ has admitted there's no evidence for that claim

He's still cleaning up the mess he made over the Comey tapes.

He was fired in August and the FBI's interest wasn't reignited until the Fall. Assuming this has been accurately reported I'd say it's pretty likely that Manafort wasn't under a surveillance warrant at any point while working on the campaign.
