Page was a business man...not an agent. Same thing with Manafort. Neither had anything to do with the President.
The FISA goes to lengths to explain that he was in tight with the campaign. It then discounts the same news articles they’re relying saying that he wasn’t and referencing a conversation they had with then “campaign manager” (Manafort? Did Corey say he spoke with F-I?).
It reads like, the campaign went to lengths to disguise Carter Page, notorious Russian Spy, was tied in deep to the campaign. The proof of how devious this was is the fact they asked campaign people who said they didn’t even know him. And when they asked the campaign manager why their top aide was a spy for Russia, the campaign manager said he wasn’t authorized to deal with those Ruskies!
Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up!
The day of the end date (right before inauguration 1/2017) is also redacted - the FISA was clearly the “insurance policy”
It is highly likely Page was employed by, or working with, the CIA/FBI when he opened up his own business 10 years ago.
