This section is a hot mess - the character is Steele, not Carter Page.
Carter page or Christopher Steele... I think this article has a huge error when referring to page and Steele.
I don’t follow this...
There is really only one credible explanation for this – Carter Page was hired to create something that was used as justification to provide legal cover for what was a highly illegal surveillance program against the opposition candidate of a sitting President of the United States. James Comey attempted to explain this all away by basically saying, “We believed Carter Page because Carter Page assured us he was believable.” And please don’t forget that through all of this,
Carter Page??This article is a mess. Nothing to believe here if he doesn’t know difference between Page and Steele.
Is it a simple mixup of names, do you think, or something worse? My interest in the article came more from how people cultivate sources.
This is why ALL OF THEM need to see prison time. Of course, as we are no longer a nation of equal justice under the law, they won't.
Would have been a great article if the author didn’t mix up Carter Page and Christopher Steele. Jeeeeeze. Dumb mistakes.
Yeah, that’s exactly what the author did. Some fancy proof reading there.
The author can’t even follow his own story?
Carter Page was hired by the FBI to be an informant against Russia.
In 2013 Carter Page was working as an under-cover employee (UCE) of the FBI, helping them to build a case against “Evgeny Buryakov”. In March 2016 Carter Page remained their informant pre-trial.
Basically, Page was used to plant listening devices on this Russian, but was thrown under the bus for the purposes of the Mueller investigation....because Page was in contact with the Russians.
Research this folks.
You beat me to it - this article needs some serious editing. He says “carter page” but seems to mean “Christopher Steele.”
Here is a shorter and clearer explanation by Grassley/Graham:

A third layer of the onion involves the revelations in the letter GOP Sens. Charles Grassley and Lindsey Graham wrote to the Justice Department. They urge a criminal investigation into whether Steele lied to the FBI about how much and when he fed the dossier to the anti-Trump media.
The letter is compelling in showing that Steele said one thing under oath to a British court and something different to the FBI. The contradictions matter because the agency relied on Steele’s credibility in both the FISA applications and its actual investigation. Strangely, even after it fired him for breaking its rule forbidding media contact, the FBI continued to praise his credibility in court.
If that were all the senators’ letter accomplished, it would be enough. But it does much more.
It also reveals that two former journalists linked to Clinton, separately identified as the odious Sidney Blumenthal and a man named Cody Shearer, created and gave a State Department official additional unverified allegations against Trump.
The official passed those documents to Steele, who passed them to the FBI, which reportedly saw them as further evidence that Trump worked with Russians. But as Grassley, head of the Judiciary Committee, and Graham write, “It is troubling enough that the Clinton Campaign funded Mr. Steele’s work, but that these Clinton associates were contemporaneously feeding Mr. Steele allegations raises additional concerns about his credibility.”
The State Department official involved in the episode, Jonathan Winer, wrote an Op-Ed in the Washington Post Friday in which he confessed to the senators’ chronology while offering a benign description of his motives. Winer also admitted he shared all the unverified allegations from the Clinton hitmen with other State Department officials.

I've never forgotten the look on Obama and Michelle's faces at some event they were at that took place only days before the election. They were clearly very worried.
Apparently their fixers fixed it as we all know the results.
I think there was a freudian slip. I don’t trust Carter Page and I remain unconvinced that he was not an FBI / Deep state asset, yet not convinced that he was.
>>Dumb mistakes
Totally agree.
Should I get the article pulled as my chat interest was in source cultivation and I doubt we’ll ever get there with the author’s so easily avoided mistake?
Obama stole 2012 from Romney?
I hadn’t thought he needed to do much stealing. Romney didn’t campaign like his heart was in it. I thought I understood campaigning until I watched our new president on the day before the election flying around the country and putting his heart into everyone. THAT was campaigning. And there was such a large group of people who wanted to virtue signal by voting for Obama, even if they weren’t on Obama’s team.
Yes. I noticed that too. Did not proof read well I guess.
It’s hard to follow and long winded.
