BREAKING: CARTER PAGE FISA RELEASE
NYT ^ | 7/21/2018 | F-I/D-J

Posted on 07/21/2018 3:33:51 PM PDT by Steven W.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has disclosed a previously top-secret set of documents related to the wiretapping of Carter Page, the onetime Trump campaign adviser who was at the center of highly contentious accusations by Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee that the F.B.I. had abused its surveillance powers.

His educational performance actually greatly resembles his TV performance:

Ex-Trump adviser Carter Page accused academics who twice failed his PhD of bias

Andrusz said he had expected it would be “easy” to pass Page, a student at the School of Oriental and African Studies (Soas). He said it actually took “days and days” to wade through Page’s work. Page “knew next to nothing” about social science and seemed “unfamiliar with basic concepts like Marxism or state capitalism,” the professor said.

The viva, held at University College, London, went badly. “Page seemed to think that if he talked enough, people would think he was well-informed. In fact it was the reverse,” Andrusz said. He added that Page was “dumbfounded” when the examiners told him he had failed.

Their subsequent report was withering. It said Page’s thesis was “characterised by considerable repetition, verbosity and vagueness of expression”, failed to meet the criteria required for a PhD, and needed “substantial revision”. He was given 18 months to produce another draft.

On t.v., he needs 18 months to put together a coherent sentence. I still think he’s a sham. If you read his bio on Wikipedia (I know...), except for his investment banking company, it’s VERY impressive. And it is quite possible, that his first PhD. advisor, very well COULD have had anti-American bias; I doubt that’s all that uncommon.
Who knows for sure? Either way, he’s an odd-acting character.

Here is the Washington Post OPINION EDITORIAL that was probably fed by Clapper + Brennan that was actually used as cited as source material in the application for FISA: http://archive.is/POl2M

.@JudicialWatch now has Carter Page FISA docs. They are heavily redacted but seem 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.

Something doesn't add up there for sure. I am reminded of the episode of Gilligan's Island where the Russian cosmonauts land on the island and conclude that Gilligan is "the cleverest one of them all" because "he acts too stupid to be stupid".

It’s absurd! The Court transcripts from the case where a few years back when Carter Page was used as an informant with the Russians - there were F-I wiretaps that had the Russians saying that Carter Page was stupid and they’d never use him as a source.

ANON notes: “Page 53 of the JW redacted original Page FISA application: ‘Verified for accuracy in accordance with (FBI) 4/5/2001 procedures’. Except both FBI’s McCabe and Comey have previously testified to Congress that the Steele dossier was at the time UNVERIFIED. So, Comey and McCabe committed 18USC1621 felonies, and/or in the alternative 18USC1018 felonies.”

MORE ANON NOTES: “P.2 Nunes is correct, the initiating ‘info’ came from State. P.5 The ‘instigator’ was Clapper. P.8 Timing onset suspicions confirmed. The ‘surveillance’ started 3/16, NOT with the official opening of ‘Crossfire Hurricane’ on 7/31/16. P.53 ‘verified in accordance with FBI 4/5/2001 policy,’ NOT. Both Comey and McCabe testified under oath to congress otherwise. P.63 and 65. Attested to by Comey and Yates. Both in violation of 18USC1018, felonious false attestation by federal officials.”

Corroboration? Pages 22-25 is this article from The Hill - U.S. intelligence officials are looking into a Donald Trump foreign policy adviser over possible ties to Russia, Yahoo News reported Friday.

The FISC was told an article about Isikoff's article about Steele via Simpson reinforces Steele and Simpson!

Page 88 is part of the FISA warrant application submission. The footnote denotes the fact it acknowledges Trump won the election. That means this application was submitted AFTER he won.

Strzok and Page talked about an “insurance policy.” This is it

The safest course was to put Hillary in prison for “extreme carelessness” in handling classified information, possession and using unauthorized file server, destruction of evidence. The report Comey cited has all he needed to indict. This would have overridden the corrupt AG Lynch and Bubba’s threaten or deal to get Hillary off the hook.

They clean the FBI cesspool as things came up. The lovers, etc.

Then idiot Obama for using fake FIUSA applications to wiretap him and Hillary for paying for the fake file.

Then stop Mueller overtime someone said, no collusion ad stop the spread of the witch hunt.

These would have cleaned the air in 6 months.

The investigation of the foundation and the uranium could continue. Add selling access.

Instead he has exposed every two bit supporter to the tentacles of a corrupt investigation. people are pleading guilty to save their houses.

You think waiting is preferable. How much more time, money and energy is acceptable to you.

Let’s wait for the dems to use mueller report for articles of impeachment. Is that OK?

Let’s have months more of Schiff and others making false claims everyday in the media.

No, it was never too soon for justice. Now it’s too late.

Dan Bongino has spoken at length about the importance of what he refers to as “Paragraph 1” in any warrant request.

It contains the reason they want to obtain a warrant (the possible crime) and the justification (available Information) that supports issuing the warrant.

Dan Bongino has been saying, and I agree with him, that the DOJ has been dragging its feet on releasing this particular document, because the “Paragraph 1” will completely reveal this entire thing to have been a sham (as anyone who pays attention knows-it is).

And this is what we have . I am speechless.

The issue and the goal is to indict high ranking democrat criminals. Start with the comedy report and indict clinton. Indict people for the fake FISA report.
