Are you now or have you ever been an agent for the Russians? No? Okay, let me ask it another way: Were you ever a Russian agent? No? In that case, let me ask the same question again with slightly different wording...
And so it seemed to go on the July 22 State of the Union on CNN as host Jake Tapper appeared to act as a latter day Inspector Javert hot on the trail of his Jean Valjean in the form of businessman and former Trump adviser Carter Page who was clearly amused by Tapper's dogged persistence over what he kept swatting down.

22 Jul: Twitchy: Gregg Jarrett explains how new DOJ docs show Comey has ‘NOT been telling the truth’
Tweet: Gregg Jarrett: Newly released documents prove that Comey’s FBI and the DOJ relied almost entirely on the phony and unverified anti-Trump “dossier” to gain warrants to wiretap Trump campaign associate. The “dossier”, paid for by Clinton & Democrats, was about 95% of the application to spy!...

No Jake, but you and your buddies certainly seem to be Mexican assets with all of your support for illegals.
He was surprisingly (to me; I had gotten the attitude that all but 2 or 3 of the Faux people were #NeverTrump Establishmentarians, if not secret Hillaryites) good on that show and on that topic.
You forgot women in p*ssy hats.
22 Jul: Washington Times: FBI used anti-Trump media to obtain spy warrants on campaign
By Rowan Scarborough
The FBI continued to tell judges that dossier writer Christopher Steele wasn’t the source of a news article the bureau used to corroborate a wiretap application when in fact Mr. Steele had publicly acknowledged he fed the anti-Trump story.
This chronology is contained in four heavily censored Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) applications obtained by the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch under the Freedom of Information Act.
The documents also show the FBI relied as evidence on mainstream media stories critical of the Donald Trump presidential campaign.
The FBI’s central piece of evidence in the unreacted parts is the dossier compiled by Mr. Steele, a former British spy hired by Fusion GPS with money from the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. In other words, the FBI was relying on partisan opposition research to target Mr. Page for a year of intrusive phone and electronic intercepts...

21 Jul: The Hill: Meadows calls ex-Trump aide surveillance docs ‘potentially groundbreaking development’
By Jacqueline Thomsen
“If the previous admin was funneling campaign research toward surveillance, we need to know,” Meadows tweeted...
The lawmaker was responding to Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton’s claim that the documents appear to “confirm the FBI and DoJ misled the courts in withholding info about Clinton-DNC being behind the info used to get the FISA warrant.”...

the big question is - how come NYT got the docs before JW?
by what method did they receive them?
Fitton was told he was getting them by FedEx when JW wanted them emailed.
finally they were emailed but, by then, NYT was ahead of the game with creating the official narrative, taken up by the rest of the FakeNewsMSM.
note the exclamation mark. Fitton was not happy about this as JW was told they wouldn’t arrive until Monday.
20 Jul: Tweet: Tom Fitton: They have been FedEx’ed!

however, in the end, JW received the docs by email apparently, but not before NYT was up and running interference.

22 Jul: Fox News: FBI told FISA court Steele wasn’t source of report used to justify surveilling Trump team, docs show
by Greg Re; Fox News’ Catherine Herridge and Pamela K. Browne contributed to this report.
On four occasions, the FBI told the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) court that it “did not believe” former British spy Christopher Steele was the direct source for a Yahoo News article implicating former Trump aide Carter Page in Russian collusion, newly released documents reveal.
Instead, the FBI suggested to the court, the September 2016 article by Michael Isikoff was independent corroboration of the salacious, unverified allegations against Trump in the infamous Steele Dossier. Federal authorities used both the Steele Dossier and Yahoo News article to convince the FISA court to authorize a surveillance warrant for Page.
But London court records show that contrary to the FBI’s assessments, Steele briefed Yahoo News and other reporters in the fall of 2016 at the direction of Fusion GPS — the opposition research firm behind the dossier...
The documents describe Source #1 as someone “hired by a business associate to conduct research” into Trump’s Russia ties — but do not mention that Fusion GPS was funded by the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign...

THIS
and the follow up was Rubio to bad mouth Page.
Jake Tapper is a Martian asset.
Jake, are you gay?
Jake, are you a member of the Communist party?
Jake, have you ever cheated on your taxes?
Just askin Jake.
Ask Mr. Tapper if he has stopped beating his wife.
Did Jake mention that the Anti-Trump Dirty Tricks Smears had been in the hands of the media for months but no one would touch it because it was unverified and possibly unverifiable?
Bill Clinton received $500K for one speech in Moscow sponsored by a bank closely associated with Putin.
I want to know if Carter Page was an FBI plant.
Took my words.
