-- Why isn't anyone in Congress or media who do want the truth pointing this out today? Carter Page was designated a spy and therefore the Obama DOJ could spy on him and any contacts in Trump campaign legally!!!! But in fact as we know it was illegally under a false pretense of a fake dossier! --

That "legally/illegally" distinction is a trap. As a matter of law, if a warrant was sought by a US official (check) and a warrant was issued (check), the surveillance was legal.

There is no remedy in the law for corrupt officials or corrupt judges. They skate, as a matter of law.

50 USC 1509(b) Defense

It is a defense to a prosecution under subsection (a) that the defendant was a law enforcement or investigative officer engaged in the course of his official duties and the electronic surveillance was authorized by and conducted pursuant to a search warrant or court order of a court of competent jurisdiction

“They skate as a matter of law”

But the illegality is the perjury used to obtain the warrant, right? And isn’t there more impact in the potential charge of “abuse of power” that Greg Jarrett keeps citing?
