Carter Page: FBI 'shredded' Constitution by eavesdropping on him
ABC "News" ^ | February 6, 2018 | By MATTHEW MOSK

Carter Page, the Trump campaign volunteer who was monitored by the FBI after his visits to Moscow, said he expects to be vindicated as more information about his case is released.

“What I’ve seen thus far is just complete ridiculousness,” Page told George Stephanopoulos on ABC News’ Good Morning America on Tuesday.

Page told ABC News there was “no basis” for the FBI to eavesdrop on him. “It was just shredded – the Constitution.”

Page said the findings in the Nunes memo matched his own long-held belief that the attention on him was politically motivated. He told ABC News he was reminded of a letter he sent to then-FBI Director James Comey in September 2016, after news reports began raising questions about his travels to Russia.

“These desperate and unfounded calls for my investigation as a private citizen to advance political interests based on nothing more than preposterous mainstream media reports is a true disgrace,” he wrote to Comey at the time.

The New York Times has launched an effort to have authorities release the entire application the FBI submitted to a federal court to justify monitoring Page. Page told Stephanopoulos Tuesday morning he “appreciates” that effort.

“I hope they get it,” he said.

SPY? Really? Nominally maybe but who was buying that routine?

pretty fishy huh?
Comey, McCabe, Rosenstein need to answer some questions.

If the FBI themselves admits he was an Undercover Employee and he then confirms it, I see no room for doubt

Neither of those two things have happened, so you'll excuse my skepticism.

Page ran a energy consulting company in New York and was in contact with the Russian targets of the investigation, so it's feasible the FBI asked him to let one of their agents pose as an analyst at his company to gather evidence.

Doesn't make Page himself an undercover FBI employee , it just makes him a cooperating witness to their investigation.

Face it the FBI is a Democratic party tool, and the Democratic party wants the Constitution and Republic bone so they can ENSLAVE and dictate.

Nine months ago I said that I thought Carter Page was the highest ranking person in the Trump campaign that wouldn’t cause the FISA court to recognize that the FBI was spying on the campaign. They probably had Page’s name and campaign HQ address and phone but no mention of Trump in the request.

He says he was a cooperating witness in an FBI investigation or some Russian businessman...that doesn't make him an FBI employee

Cooperating witness can mean a deal has been made not to prosecute the witness of something they found. Blackmailing for favors leaves no paper trail.

You will be glad you did.

I went back and listened to it twice more.

UCE designation suggests he was an under cover employee.

No, it doesn’t.

Watch this video of Carter Page from nine months ago and then let me know if you still think he’s an undercover FBI.
