It has never made sense that U.S. Person Carter Page was an FBI witness from 2013 through to March/May 2016 and yet in October 2016, to achieve a FISA warrant, the FBI called him an agent of a foreign government.
It just never made any sense; perhaps, until today. Put yourself in the mindset within the highly political small group at the DOJ and FBI who have a plan to help Hillary Clinton win the presidency.
From October 2015 through early March 2016 Fusion GPS was assembling opposition research on all the GOP candidates. However, mid-March it became obvious Donald Trump was going to win, so all other efforts were side-lined and Trump becomes the Fusion-GPS focus.
Billionaire Paul Singer, a Rubio backer, drops funding for Fusion-GPS Trump research; the DNC and Clinton campaign take over the payments.

I like to read the TCT but Sundance was wrong about the useless “white hats” Sessions, Priestap and Huber.
They were already spying. Carter Page was an attempt at making it appear legal. After the fact.
How many other Americans have been spied upon by those folks????
Think of the desperation when it dawned upon them that Hillary could lose. Desperation causes folks to become unhinged and sloppy.
Poor writing or ignorance, this is false. The research done for Singer was traditional opposition research using traditional sources. Their work for Hillary's campaign was new and completely separate, and was aided by special access and coordination with CIA, NSA and DOJ. Lumping them together just feeds into the left's false narrative that "Republicans helped pay for the Dossier", when it was Hillary and the Obama Administration.
“Can someone tell me what an “EC” is?”
EC stands for Electronic Communication.
From the article:
“Operation Crossfire Hurricane will officially begin after CIA Director John Brennan gives FBI Director James Comey a two-page “electronic communication” memo to kick things off.”
Exactly what George Webb has been saying, and the proof, if page was under surveillance why wasn’t he indicted like Papadopolis? Why because he was an asset place by Brennan in Trumps campaign.
“The research done for Singer was traditional opposition research using traditional sources. Their work for Hillary’s campaign was new and completely separate, and was aided by special access and coordination with CIA, NSA and DOJ.”
That is true.
But Bill Kristol was involved. Kristol is a slimy Never Trumper and worked to sabotage the Trump campaign.
It would not surprise me if Kristol was working with the Clinton campaign.
I believe what he meant was that it became obvious in March that Trump was going to win the GOP nomination, so the opposition research efforts on other candidates was abandoned to focus solely on Trump.
All 17 candidates were surveilled. This article seeks to put out a story minimising the effort
They just “flipped the script” on Carter Page to bolster their FISA application. They knew he helped the FBI catch Russian spies. Once he joined the Trump campaign they omitted the part about him being an FBI asset and informant and portrayed him as a Trump associate with known ties in the Russian Government. That made the dossier seem more credible.
They also ran various assets at George Popodoupolos in the attempt to frame him - first they sent Misfud to ‘plant’ the idea that Russia had dirt and was helping Trump, and then they sent Halperin and the Aussie ambassador to the UK to try to get him to repeat what Misfud had told him. And though he maintains he never said anything about Russian emails somehow it was reported that he did. Misfud even took GP to dinner with a woman whom he claimed was Putin’s niece in the hopes that GP would arrange a meeting with the Trump team. The Trump team never followed through with that idea... but they ran the same operation on Don Jr with the Trump Tower meeting - just get them in the same room with a Russian and the ghost of Joe McCarthy appears!
They also gave Papadop $10k cash so they could catch him at customs and gain further leverage.
That’s what I thought too. They literally shit their pants when he won.
The article is referring to Trump winning the Republican nomination.
Which G P was smart enough not to have brought back with him. In an interview he said that he knew that would bring him all kinds of trouble.
Pat Buchanan’s brother is Page’s attorney. Do you think Page is playing with him?
And, that is why he got all the free media attention much to the chagrin of all the other Republicans candidates.
She wanted to run against Trump in the general and she fully expected to win.
All of the Fusion/FISA stuff was a red herring designed to get Trump into prison after she won the election.
They were not thinking "impeachment" but they were thinking "prison."
Hillary and her entire gang never thought she was gonna lose.
They sure did. It was an obvious entrapment scheme. Not only would they have caught him with (presumably) undeclared cash in excess of $10,000 - which is a crime and would have given them more leverage over him - but they also would have completed the circle. They would have perp walked him and the media would have declared “Trump adviser who meets with Russians and carries large amounts of undeclared and unexplainable cash...” Fortunately for GP he gave the money to his lawyers in Europe.
They were prepared to destroy this man with an obvious frame job just to give color to a story about somebody else. That kind of abuse of power and authority cannot let stand. People need to go to prison.
Silent Assassin. 3D Chess. White Hats. Big Ugly.
Sundance has been wrong plenty of times, but avoids an outright mea culpa.
At least Andrew McCarthy published a mea culpa.
The whole political scene in this country is so incestuous who knows who is zooming who.
Thanks. I should have read the article more closely.
