But they have to show that he was an agent of the Russian government and that he violated some criminal statute. Page was selected by the dirty cops in the FBI because he had a previous history with the FBI. He was the hook to hang the Russia collusion story on Trump.

I believe the Don Jr. meeting with the Russian lawyer in June 2016 was a setup from the very beginning. The fact that Simpson met with her before and after the meeting is proof positive to me.

Fusion GPS hired Nellie Ohr in May 2016, which indicates to me that the Russian narrative was planned long before Papadopoulus and Page. The Dems were attacking Trump on Russia while the Rep primary was still ongoing. I would have to review the Rep primary debates, but I do recall Russia coming up and the charge that Trump was cozying up to Putin. And Hillary raised it during her debates with Trump. This was the October surprise, but Steele couldn't get the MSM to bite on the dossier.

No, just that he was an agent of a foreign power. Criminal conduct not a necessary element, is expressed as a "maybe" element.

knowingly engages in clandestine intelligence gathering activities for or on behalf of a foreign power, which activities involve or may involve a violation of the criminal statutes of the United States

All that has to be offered in the application is a hypothetical (or even boilerplate right out of the statute) without evidence.

I'd really like to see that FISA application. I bet public disclosure of that would shake the FBI to its core, because the public would see just how thin a reed is used to prop up foreign surveillance warrants.

This guy Will Hurd is spanking Steffy so hard he will have to stand up the rest of the show!!Stuffy tried to use Schiff for brains argument only seconds ago that the evidence used for the warrant was not circular but Hurd shot him down big time!! Quite a moment in driveby death by truth. Now stuffy trying to justify the fisa warrant Hurd telling stuffy that the fisa warrant was issued on questionable information at best,stuffy claiming that unknown documents that verify the memo document the warrant was good lying his ass off one more time.
