Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said Sunday the FBI did nothing wrong in convincing the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to allow the government to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
“I don't think they did anything wrong,” Rubio told Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union." “I think they went to the court and got the judges to approve it.”
Late Saturday evening, the Justice Department released top-secret documents related to the surveillance warrants used to wiretap Page under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The heavily redacted documents showed the FBI believed Page was collaborating and conspiring with the Russian government.
The documents confirm the FBI based its surveillance requests to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in part on a dossier compiled by Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer hired by a research firm funded in part by former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

I am sure the CNN hosts were happy with his statements
Little Marco seems to be a mental midget.
Why is Rubio still a Senator I thought he said he hated it
So what is this guy worried about?
Florida, please do something about Rubio.
It’s amazing that the microphones can pick up the sound of his voice with him being so far in Jeb Bushes’ pocket.
Does Pam Bondi want to be governor someday? Does she have the nerve to primary Rubio (and maybe even win)?
Didn’t Nunes say that the use of the Steele dossier as part of the reason for watching the Kremlin adviser Carter Page when he joined the campaing was not disclosed to the FISA court?
Suspect they have something on Marco. It may be best if it comes out and he resigns.
Floridian’s have been giving Bondi a very hard time lately. I’m not sure if she could primary Rubio.
Nice thought though.
Wow.
To think this guy was a contender for the Presidency.
It boggles the mind.
Why doesn’t Rubio care about the 4th Amendment?
You lost, Rube.
Get over it already.
Where is Florida Man when we really need him?
I don’t know Florida politics well, I just know that she’s the AG and also that she’s obviously pretty ambitious. Thanks for the info!
I guess that Little Marco wouldn’t see a problem with the FBI spying on him?

Dear Marco,
Just because you have a beef with Trump doesn’t mean you have to promote conclusions that fly in the face of reason and common sense, as well as help our Democrat enemy!
