YUP. Everyone who had any electronic contact (phone, email, text, etc.) with Carter Page was potentially subjected to FISA surveillance. EVERYONE.
No wonder the Obama team scumbags were “unmasking” hundreds of names. Of course this surveillance would have embraced many in the Trump team, even though Carter Page was reportedly a rather minor figure — but he would have had various contacts, at least in passing, with various people in Trump Tower. Even “cc-ing” people on an email could have exposed them to the FISA warrant surveillance.
This is frickin’ HUGE....
If the names need to be unmasked, that means the names were originally masked according to the minimization rules set out in the FISA application. What was happening was a bypassing of minimization by the same people who swore to abide by it in the FISA application.
