Carter Page FISA warrant lacked probable cause, declassified DOJ assessment finds
Fox News ^ | January 23, 2020 | Greg Re, Brooke Singman

At least two of the FBI’s surveillance applications to secretly monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page lacked probable cause, according to a newly declassified summary of a Justice Department assessment released Thursday by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC).

The DOJ's determination essentially means that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant authorizations to surveil Page, when stripped of the FBI's misinformation, did not meet the necessary legal threshold and should never have been issued.

“Today’s unprecedented court filing represents another step on the road to recovery for America’s deeply damaged judicial system," Page said in a statement to Fox News. "I hope that this latest admission of guilt for these civil rights abuses by the Justice Department marks continued progress towards restoring justice and remedying these reputationally ruinous injuries.”

Fruit of poison tree

All material flowing from Fisa warrants and now null and void.
Mueller? And any mention of anything evolved from that mentioned by Adumb Schitt

I think it is past time to take a long look at these FISA judges. Are they part of the conspiracy to overthrow the government - the take Trump out movement???

Has Flynn’s case been set aside? Just kidding. Of course not. Judge is stuck between the DOJ and the DS.

Totally agree, been saying that for a couple years, now.
There’s no way they just pencil whipped a signature on these high profile warrants. Not buying it for a second. They knew.

All/Any FBI agents/DOJ thugs actively involved in getting this felonious weaponized FISA warrant and using it as a weapon on Carter Page.

Yep - all the FISA system does is ‘legitimize” crap that used to be collected illegally but which couldn’t be used against folks in a court of law...they had to take a chance on blackmail which bared their own throats.
