Most probable answer.......
He is not a spy. They needed a target to marry to the Steele dossier and he served that purpose.
Maybe the Intelligence Bureaucracy has something on him ...and doens’t want to use it yet.
I’ll go with #2 for $1,000, Alex.
When was the last time a democrat was arrested for anything, especially relating to crimes against the state? The few times I can recall, they would be charged with some trumped up charges because they wouldn’t follow the dems playbook. Seeing as how the agencies have become pretty much an arm of the left, they’re not going to arrest themselves.
Exactly! We don’t know right now at least what kind of dupe he was. An innocent one or willing?
Consider the most obvious alternative. Obama had no interest in Carter Page, his objective was to find a way to insert a government surveillance operation inside the Trump campaign. The easiest way for DOJ and FBI to get what Obama wanted was to take a patsy like Page, lie to the FISA Court, and walk away with a FISA warrant.
Wasn’t he used by the FBI to help catch the Russians?
Is it possible that Carter Page is just an idiot, and the FBI stumbled upon him and decided to use him in their episode?
From wiki:
Page graduated in 1993 from the United States Naval Academy; he was a Distinguished Graduate (top 10% of his class) and was chosen for the Navy’s Trident Scholar program, which gives selected officers the opportunity for independent academic research and study.[10][11][12] During his senior year at the Naval Academy, he worked in the office of Les Aspin as a researcher for the House Armed Services Committee.[13] He served in the U.S. Navy for five years, including a tour in western Morocco as an intelligence officer for a United Nations peacekeeping mission.[13] In 1994, he completed a Master of Arts degree in National Security Studies at Georgetown University.[13]

I bet he works for the CIA.
He WAS a spy... for the FBI. Helped them take out some RUSSIANS.
Because the Evil FBI set Page up several years before this as a spy while he helped them make a case against some Russians, the Evil FBI could have placed him in any Republican presidential campaign.
Then they could have filed a similar FISC app to spy on any campaign that might win the nomination to run against Clinton.
Spy alright. For the FBI.
The DOJ would eventually have to show its evidence once charges are filed.
The DOJ has yet to safely create evidence.
It would expose what a sham operation the DOJ is running.
They are trying to run out the clock.
The Deep State put him into the Trump campaign and that’s why he can smile so big on TV and doesn’t even have an ATTORNEY!
He’s a dem?
I’ll go with #2.
My suspicion is that Carter Page was an FBI plant and that all this intrigue is just a charade intended to provide cover. They probably got the warrant not because they wanted to monitor Page but because they needed the warrant to give plausible reason to monitor the people who would be calling Page.
He’s not a spy and not a foreign agent. Just an American who did business in Russia.
In either case, Mueller will never indict Carter Page, because if he did, All the FISA warrant applications would have to be disclosed as part of discovery; along with everything associated with the witch hunt. Mueller isn’t going to voluntarily going to let that happen.
