| Carter Page: You'd Better Believe This Was A Witch Hunt |
| 2019-04-02 |
| [Hot Air] If anyone has reason to call the FBI’s counterintelligence probe into the Trump campaign a "witch hunt," it’s Carter Page. The Department of Justice got a FISA court to issue a surveillance warrant and to renew it three more times, apparently arguing that Page met the threshold as a suspected spy about to do significant damage to national security. Now that special counsel Robert Mueller has concluded the investigation by finding that no American colluded with Russia and without mentioning Page in a single indictment, Page tells Sharyl Attkisson on her independent Full Measure platform that the allegation that he was a spy is "so outrageous, preposterous," and that he’s never met Donald Trump to this day: |

| #4 Now if the Rinos can grow a pair and demand he testify After everyone else is tried and convicted, when it is obvious to all what he did, and when all of his friends have deserted him. One must take a methodical approach to belling a cat, lest in future the changing of the ruling party automatically results in jailing the previous leader on flimsy grounds. |

| #2 Here's a connection I hadn't made before - In order to get the FISA warrants, the Justice Department and the FBI had had to allege that there was probable cause to believe former Trump adviser Carter Page was an agent of Russia. Under FISA law, that requires alleging that he was knowingly involved in clandestine activity on behalf of Russia, and that this clandestine activity involved probable violations of American criminal law – offenses such as espionage. Yet, despite the fact that this representation was made four times in sworn “verified” applications, Mueller never charged Page with a crime – not espionage, not false statements, nothing. Oh, but all the officials who could explain that conundrum have been fired or resigned. Maybe Bobby Mueller knows? |

| #1 Sorry, I remain unconvinced that this former USN Intelligence officer and decades long FBI source was unwitting of his actual role. |
