I’ll play Devil’s Advocate. So our spy catchers lied to catch spies? That’s what spies do!
What’s the big deal here?
Its called perjury and fraud against the court (FISC)..maybe even treason.
From the Stealth Jeff link:
“
1) The FBI proffered no credible, verified evidence to the Court that Carter Page was a foreign agent
and
2) The FBI knew Carter Page was their own undercover employee who’d just helped them take out a Russian spy ring.
So the FBI knew the guy they were offering up to the FISA Court as a foreign agent wasn’t really a foreign agent.
And they knew all the evidence they were showing the court to ‘prove’ this was bogus.
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO PRISON. “
...
So, it might be a big deal, especially if people really are going to prison.
The timeline also makes things interesting if I’m reading it right.
Between the time that the FISA warrant was requested, but BEFORE it was approved, Carter Page had already LEFT the Trump campaign.
Yet he was still used to unlock the floodgates that let them listen and look in on all of the people that wound up unmasked in the Clinton / Obama / Deep State actors attempt undo the election.
1. If Page worked for the FBI they knew he wasn’t a spy. Yet they used that accusation to justify getting FISA to surveill him.
Or
2. He was their operative planted intentionally on Trump’s team in order to justify surveillance. Iow, a set-up
The CIA DOES INTERNATIONAL Spying.
