if it was Page, then the FISA was their insurance
“It’s Page. The question is what are the implications?”
That the whole thing was simply a deliberate attempt by the Obama Administration to illegally use intelligence capabilities to spy on their domestic political opponents, and steal an election.
Carter Page was a long term FBI asset. He was probably sent to the Trump Campaign, so they could use his prior years in Russia, and contacts with known Russian Intelligence Officers to meet the threshold to get FISA surveillance warrants on Page - and therefor, two hops out (anyone who communicated, with anyone who communicated with Page). They probably had Page send some innocuous email to anyone in the campaign that they really wanted to monitor, just so they could monitor all of their future communications.
Page was an FBI asset, fraudulently presented as a subject of interest, to illegally capture and disseminate all the communications of the Trump campaign, to Democrat operatives throughout the Obama Administration.
An illegal day by day, blow by blow spying operation on a domestic political campaign was conducted by the Obama Administration, at the highest levels. Some reports indicate that significant Trump campaign information that was collected through this fraud (and other illegal abuses), was even brazenly included in the Presidential Daily Brief, and automatically distributed to dozens of Administration figures - including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
This is so much worse than Watergate, where a few Republicans affiliated with the campaign, tried to to peek into the files of the DNC one night. This was the systematic wholesale corruption of the intelligence capabilities of the Nation to comprehensively monitor every communication of an opposition political campaign.
If not adequately punished, there may not be another opportunity to prevent such abuse in the future - elections could be effectively rigged in perpetuity by such a lawless clique, the next time they wield such power.
The implications are, of course, that this proves that the FBI not only spied on an opposition political candidate in violation of the law, they also knowingly totally manufactured the the FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign.
Carter Page was the “Russian Spy” that the FBI used falsely justify the very expansive FISA warrant that allowed them to spy to spy on anyone and every organization Carter Page was associated with, including the Trump Campaign
If true, the FBI themselves recruited the supposed “Russian Spy” to actually spy on the Trump Campaign and used Page to obtain an overly broad FISA warrant that enabled the FB, the Obama Administration and the Hillary Clinton Campaign to spy on Donald Trump
