New documents show that one month before the 2016 elections, the FBI sought permission to surveil Carter Page, the one-time foreign policy adviser to the campaign of Donald Trump, because they alleged he had been recruited by the Russian government.

“The FBI believes the Russian government’s efforts are being coordinated with Page and perhaps other individuals associated with [Trump’s] campaign,” the application with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court said.

Page is alleged in the documents to have had “established relationships with Russian Government officials, including Russian intelligence officers.”

In more than 400 pages made public Saturday as a result of a Freedom of Information request by media outlets, and first reported by the New York Times, the government laid out its case for secretly monitoring Page in a series of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act -- or FISA – warrants, each of which was approved by the FISA court. The documents, which include an application and a warrant for surveillance of Page, were first filed in secret in October 2016, are blacked out in the version that was made public. He stepped away from the campaign a month earlier.

1. Dear Congressional Repuke asshats

Be careful what you ask for.

2. I read all 412 pages which wasn't much because most of it was blacked out

It looks like the initial FISA was issued in October 2016 and classified as TS and renewed in January 2017 TS and again in April 2017 TS and April 2017 (S)

Interesting tidbit - Carter Page lived in Russia from 2004 through 2007. Based on his bizarre presentation Chris Hayes' ALL IN, his behavior makes sense. He's a Russian trained agent who has no sense of shame, guilt or fear, He lies so easily and with a smile.

Read page 225. Carter writes a letter to DOJ Civil Rights Div complaining about HRC's campaign. It's straight up Russian disinfo psyops, something that would be very much in keeping with a Russian agent/spy.

I'm guessing he'll be a late July or early August indictment.

3. Your last date is a duplicate of the previous.

4. Yes because the 3rd warrant is marked TS while the 4th is marked secret

I don't know why there were two warrants submitted in April 2017. I thought it might be because the first was rejected but it shows it was approved like the previous ones. So I think the April 2017 applications were for the same purpose but with different goals and methods.
