Trump: Carter Page surveillance applications 'confirm' officials 'misled the courts'

Source: The Hill

President Trump said early Sunday that documents related to the surveillance warrants on former campaign adviser Carter Page “confirm with little doubt” that officials “misled the courts.”

“Congratulations to @JudicialWatch and @TomFitton on being successful in getting the Carter Page FISA documents. As usual they are ridiculously heavily redacted but confirm with little doubt that the Department of “Justice” and FBI misled the courts,” he tweeted. “Witch Hunt Rigged, a Scam!”

“Looking more & more like the Trump Campaign for President was illegally being spied upon (surveillance) for the political gain of Crooked Hillary Clinton and the DNC. Ask her how that worked out - she did better with Crazy Bernie. Republicans must get tough now. An illegal Scam!” he said in a subsequent tweet.

The heavily redacted materials released by the Department of Justice (DOJ) on Saturday indicate that the FBI "believes Page has been the subject of targeted recruitment by the Russian government ... to undermine and influence the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election in violation of U.S. criminal law."

Shows the FBI was on the case, defending American sovereignty by investigating highly unusual and suspicious contacts with Russian elites. American intelligence needed to know what was going on. Trump's fealty to Putin confirms their worst worries. All Trump is trying to do is make excuses to cover it all up. Little late for that.

Every time Trump says Witch Hunt, Fake News, it is a scam, and Russia is a ruse he is knowingly lying.

"Donald J. Trump was shown highly classified intelligence indicating that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had personally ordered complex cyberattacks to sway the 2016 American election."

Page has been under FBI/US Govt. intel watch since 2012

Judicial Watch helped stir the conspiracy theory that Vince Foster was murdered by the Clintons.

but then I realized he just keeps lying because he knows his core voters are "low information" people, too, and won't comprehend anymore than he does.

and the media going right along with the bullshit, that the previous Administration had to weigh when coming up with how to communicate actual FACTS without the GOP and their wholly-owned M$M distorting it beyond comprehension.
