Carter Page Promises to Reveal 'Explosive Details' About Experience with FBI In Upcoming Book
[Town Hall] Former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page sat down with Townhall during the Conservative Political Action Conference to discuss his upcoming book on what he went through during the FBI's investigation into him.

Michael Horowitz, the Department of Justice's Inspector General, testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee the FISA applications the FBI used in their investigation into Trump campaign members, such as Page, were based on the debunked Steele Dossier.

"Nevertheless we found that investigators failed to meet their basic obligations of ensuring that the FISA applications were scrupulously accurate. We identified significant inaccuracies and omissions in each of the four applications, seven in the first and a total of 17 by the final renewal application," Horowitz said.

Page told Townhall that Horowitz's report is just the tip of the iceberg and more details on the the Department of Justice's misconduct will be revealed.

"There have been so many investigations, so many initial steps to uncover the wrongdoing. Unfortunately, it's been one half-truth after another and what we saw in the Inspector General report...was terrible wrongdoing against President Trump and going back to when he was a candidate," Page said.

"I am in the process of explaining the full truth about actually what happen," Page said about the Steele Dossier's role in the FBI's investigation.

#2 Besoeker, from your past comments, I seem to recall you were weaving some kind of theory regarding Page as a Deep State double agent? Or false flag operative, a plant of some sort?

#3 Lex ~ The guy a USNA top grad and former Naval intelligence officer who has a beltway history of association with the Bureau. I simply cannot believe he was unwitting of the true nature of his Trump Campaign assignment. As you may recall, as soon as he departed the Campaign, all FBI and FISA interest in Carter Page vaporized. It was almost as if it never happened.

#4 Ah, got it. Interesting. Plausible.

#5 He was very likely a Bureau and IC mole, plant, source on the inside. The FISA warrant enabled monitoring of US Person (USP) Carter Page, and 'incidental intelligence collection' A Jim Clapper term, not mine.

You may remember DNI Jim Clapper appearing before a congressional committee a couple of years ago and being asked (paraphrasing), "does the US intelligence community conduct intelligence collection or electronic surveillance on USP." (again, I'm paraphrasing)

Clapper's somewhat hesitant response:

"Not intentionally."

#7 Will his explosive details also be about the time he had bad Mexican food after that drunken DC party?
