Page has said he thinks he ticked off the bureau back in 2013. The FBI interviewed him regarding his ongoing contacts in Russia, where he’d lived and worked as an energy investor and adviser. Page reportedly had the audacity to tell the FBI agents that their time would be better spent investigating the Boston Marathon terrorist bombing, a probe that the FBI’s Andrew McCabe was helping to lead.
It’s a touchy issue: It turns out Russia had alerted the FBI in advance to one of the future bombers, a radical Muslim born in Kyrgyzstan named Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The FBI interviewed Tsarnaev but mistakenly concluded there was no reason to be suspicious. Tsarnaev and his brother were left to carry out the bombing that killed three and injured or maimed several hundred.
The FBI wasn’t happy when it became public that the Russians had warned them — to no avail. Anyway, Page has said his verbal jab at the FBI over the Boston Marathon bombing ignited a retaliatory campaign against him. (The bureau moved to wiretap Page just a few months after McCabe was promoted to FBI deputy director in 2016.)
For nearly a year, the FBI watched Page and his communications. This would have included phone calls, email, text messages, verbal meetings, social media, internet activity, photos, personal travel, financial activities. Everything he said or wrote to colleagues, friends and family.
Page is either the slickest foreign spy to ever walk the planet, or he’s not a spy at all.
Or maybe special counsel Robert Mueller has found new evidence that eluded the FBI and we will soon learn of it.
If not, would someone owe him an apology?

A good history...from a real reporter...worth reading
Carter Page and Roger Stone seem unlikely traitors. Page comes across as kind of goofy, and I can imagine him riding the tea cups at Disneyland. Stone seems like a guy would be in the bar at Hialeah, studying the racing form.
Mr. Mueller, have you no shame?
The significance of Carter Page is primarily limited to his being targeted by the FBI illegally with incomplete information to the FISA court and the court’s willingness to take the word of the FBI to the extent of not even conducting a hearing on the request before granting permission. Let that sink in, it’s Star Chamber stuff and totally unlawful and unconstitutional. Heads should roll in the FBI, CIA and FISA court system before Congress reforms this corrupt extra constitutional procedure.
"Shame" is something a person of character has within them.
Mr. Mule-Lips is nothing but a Gutter Rat. Rats can't by definition being what they are, have and or posses Shame.
Love your Tag Line.
Perhaps the most amazing thing is how clean these people are. Compare and contrast to everyone around the Clintons.
The Clinton Foundation is the key behind all. What they are trying to obfuscate. Pandoras Box.
Thanks. Clarifying to me.
