| FBI obtained FISA warrant to monitor former Trump adviser Carter Page |
| 2017-04-12 |
| [WASHINGTONPOST] The FBI obtained a secret court order last summer to monitor the communications of an adviser to presidential candidate Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... , part of an investigation into possible links between Russia and the campaign, law enforcement and other U.S. officials said. The FBI and the Justice Department obtained the warrant targeting Carter Page’s communications after convincing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court judge that there was probable cause to believe Page was acting as an agent of a foreign power, in this case Russia, according to the officials. This is the clearest evidence so far that the FBI had reason to believe during the 2016 presidential campaign that a Trump campaign adviser was in touch with Russian agents. Such contacts are now at the center of an investigation into whether the campaign coordinated with the Russian government to swing the election in Trump’s favor. Page has not been accused of any crimes, and it is unclear whether the Justice Department might later seek charges against him or others in connection with Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election. The counterintelligence investigation into Russian efforts to influence U.S. elections began in July, officials have said. Most such investigations don’t result in criminal charges. |

| #5 No Russians means no basis for the surveillance means it's all kak. The Russian conspiracy will have to be torn from their cold, dead hands. |

| #4 That's right, JohnQC. And when they couldn't meddle in an election they'd just have the leaders of other countries overthrown, by kinetic means if necessary. |

| #3 Russians meddled in our elections? Projection by Donks? Under Obama there was plenty of meddling in other countries elections. Brexit (BHO), Israel (BHO), Palestine (HRC), Haiti (HRC), and Honduras (HRC) to name a few. |

| #2 My guess is, if he'd done anything wrong You, obviously, can't tell right from wrong. But don't be sad - if Karl Marx came again, he'd be branded as racist and sexist by the modern left. |

| #1 In January 2017 Page was under investigation by the FBI, CIA, NSA, ODNI, and FinCEN. Page has said that he has done nothing wrong.[21] My guess is, if he'd done anything wrong we would have heard about it by now. Link |
