If you were shocked when the FISA MEMO dropped, you will drop to the floor when you read this.
Carter Page was an undercover FBI agent, who helped to bring down a Russian spy ring. Later, the FBI used him and set him up by telling the FISA COURT he was a Russian spy. While working as an undercover agent to bring down the Russian spy ring, he met with the Russians, of course. The FBI took those meetings later and used them to make him look like a Russian spy.
The below article explains how he helped bring down the Russian spy ring.

Remember Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York…you know one of the good guys?
Page basically is responsible for one of his wins. On March 11, 2016, Bharara and his partner, John P. Carlin, Assistant General for National Security, announced that Evgeny Buryakov, aka “Zhenya,” pled guilty to conspiring to act in the US as an agent of the Russian Federation.

This is why Admiral Roger and General Flynn were so crucial. They knew that Trump had to keep everyone off the net and all real decisions made in untappable places.

The source is the linkage between a Reuters article detailing how a Russian energy agent got arrested and charged by an unnamed undercover agent and a parallel article detailing the same thing occurring with Page being named as an unknowing businessman. The two are easily linked together to show that Page was the agent.
If Page was an”unknowing businessman” how could he be an”FBI employee”?
That discrepancy is the point. If he is the same person, he has been described in two very different ways.
Uh...it was a joke and you are on the wrong page.
Here is a quote from Hugh Hewitt’s website. He received an email from an FBI agent who has knowledge about how these investigations work, and it illustrates my point:
“If Carter Page cooperated in 2013-14 in the investigation when Russian intelligence tried to recruit him, that means he had a “handler” in Counter-Intelligence — an agent who worked with him in 2013-14 because he cooperated and the Russians were prosecuted. The first thing that would have normally happen when Page turned up in the Trump dossier — when known to have previously been a cooperator– would have been to have his handler arrange to meet with him to talk. He’d cooperated before, and the first reaction to the new information would be that he would cooperate again. It would NOT have been to begin working up a FISA application on him. Page has denied that the FBI ever approached him in the summer of 2016.”
So my point is that if he was a cooperating party (i.e. a plant), they wouldn’t even need a FISA warrant. They would have just gotten his cooperation. The reason why they did not was that in truth, this was not a continuation of the earlier investigation. They were not conducting surveillance on Page. They were conducting surveillance on Trump. But it was difficult to get a warrant on Trump directly, so they used Page as a tool to get the warrant.
Of course, one could say that’s a waste of effort. They had a warrant on Page, but if Page wasn’t communicating with Trump’s campaign, then they have nothing. That probably occurred to them, but they were doing everything they could do and hoping for the best.
