Carter Page Files Lawsuit Against DNC Over Dossier That Targeted Him
2020-01-31
[DAILYWIRE] Carter Page, the former adviser for President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
’s 2016 campaign, is suing the Democratic National Committee and those who helped pay for the salacious dossier that formed the basis for multiple surveillance warrants used to spy on Page and the campaign.

Fox News exclusively reported that the lawsuit was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Illinois’ Eastern Division. The 23-page lawsuit names the DNC, law firm Perkins Coie and its partners, who paid Ex-British Intelligence officer Remington Christopher Steele to dig up dirt on Trump. The "dirt" Steele found was nothing but rumors and innuendo. Steele himself said at least one of his sources was a "boaster" and an "egoist" who likely engaged "in some embellishment."

The FBI used that dubious dossier, however, to obtain warrants to surveil Page and the Trump campaign. Even then, the FBI had to omit information in order to obtain the warrants. In early December, the Department of Justice Inspector General determined that the FBI violated numerous policies by omitting information and including repeated errors when obtaining the warrants against Page.

Page’s lawsuit states that the defendants "used false information, misrepresentations and other misconduct to direct the power of the international intelligence apparatus and the media industry against a private individual, Plaintiff Carter Page, to further their political agenda."
