I still can’t understand how they were so stupid as to not realize that a CIA asset would not reveal that if things got hot.
They weren’t stupid. Brennan sent Page to Comey specifically to use for FISA. They all knew. Page is CIA and was detailed to hook up with Trump because Page had numerous Russian contacts. This CIA asset allowed the FBI to FISA spy on thousands in the Trump campaign.
When Trump lost nobody would have ever heard of that smirking Page.
Page is the only person Mueller and Weismann spoke to for 8 hours and decided he did nothing wrong. That says it all
