A federal judge dismissed Carter Page’s lawsuit against fired FBI Director James Comey, the FBI, and others involved in the improper Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act snooping that had relied on British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s dossier.
Judge Dabney Friedrich relied on her interpretation of the criminal statutes that Page alleged the FBI officials had violated when she ruled against the onetime Trump campaign associate who was surveilled under FISA. Friedrich was appointed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by then-President Donald Trump in 2017.
“Page alleges that the individual defendants violated §§ 1809(a) and 1810 both by unlawfully engaging in electronic surveillance and using or disclosing the fruits of that surveillance. ... Each defendant claims that Page fails to sufficiently allege that he or she violated the statute,” the judge said Thursday. “The Court finds that the claims are not time-barred but that Page does not state a claim against any of the individual defendants.”
The judge added: “This plain-text understanding — that Congress allowed suit against only those who conduct unauthorized surveillance, and not those who at the application stage mislead the [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court] to approve that surveillance — may seem odd. But it is not so ‘absurd when considered in the particular statutory context,’ as the Court must.”

Are there ANY UNCORRUPTED JUDGES and SMART LAWYERS???
corruption runs deep
Sadly, the court system is screwed up.
Trump judge.
Unless it cannot be refiled, the path to success is shown.
Screwed up?
We’re no longer a republic.
The law is whatever Deep State says it is.
You mean this one?
TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242
Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
Too few.
She's a Trump appointee.
So sue the Federal Govt., along with Ex-FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith.
And Benedict Arnold was one of George Washington's generals.
Judges are nothing more than lawyers in dresses.. So crooked they have screw their socks on..
Page is a CIA asset. The lawsuit was smoke and mirrors from the start. This doesn’t surprise me at all.
That was my thought as well. Carter needs better lawyers.
Trump definitely appointed some libtards. This POS is a typical lawyer, arrogant and frankly stupid.
Whom was Page/the lawsuit trying to fake out?
a few judges but not many.
yes there are smart lawyers but they are all to afraid to play for our team.
Shes trash. The slag was protecting the deep state.
Strict interpretation of the statute.....You cant have it both ways.
