The FBI took a key witness who helped them take down a Russian spy...and turned him into a Russian spy himself to get a FISA warrant. In other words, they LIED about Carter Page:
Until May of 2016, Carter Page was the FBI's key witness against a Russian spy named Evgeny Buryakov.
He was working FOR the FBI helping them build a case to prosecute.
But then he gravitates to the Trump campaign as a foreign advisor & someone see's an opportunity.
CARTER PAGE is the 'FBI undercover employee'.
Note who's names appear here: John P. Carlin and Preet Bharara.
For those of you who don't know, THIS is John P. Carlin, the former head of the DOJ's National Security Division.
Here's a Reuters story based on court documents. Note carefully what it says: Page was undercover FBI *posing as* an analyst working for a NY based oil & gas firm. For TWO YEARS, Page the undercover FBI employee strings this guy along.
By April 2017, when it's trying to ramp up Trump/Russia hysteria into it's highest gear, any mention of Page being an undercover FBI employee working to nail a Russian spying ring has been DROPPED from sight. Now it's sold as: he was just a businessman.
When some high up officials inside the FBI saw an opportunity to get a foot in the door for surveillance of the Trump campaign using an undercover employee who'd just helped them nail a Russian spy ring a few years back, they didn't hesitate.
Carter Page's reward for helping the FBI bust a Russian spy ring was to have the FBI surreptitiously turn on him & brand him a Russian spy in order to 'legally' spy on Trump's campaign & transition teams.
Remember when the FBI swears out this warrant in October 2016 to the FISA court presenting 'evidence' that Carter Page is a foreign agent for Russia, it's as an 'insurance policy'. Page doesn't find out they did this until much later.
The moment he hears the FBI has turned on him & used him for a FISA surveillance warrant, Page insists he's innocent & he begins claiming stuff like THIS:
At the time Page began publicly making these claims about a DOJ/FBI/Hillary Clinton campaign conspiracy to take out Donald Trump, everybody in DNC Media pointed at him and LAUGHED THEIR ASSES OFF.
We got months of "HA HA THIS LUNATIC IS CLAIMING THE DEPT. OF JUSTICE WORKED WITH THE HILLARY CLINTON CAMPAIGN TO TAKE OUT DONALD TRUMP HA HA HA OMG THIS IS HYSTERICALLY FUNNY HA HA!"
Are they laughing now?
Those of you who keep tweeting me "Carter Page was a plant!" obviously have not been PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT THE GUY HAS BEEN SAYING FOR ALMOST A YEAR.
Early on he was telling any one who would listen to him - not many people as it turned out - the truth.
Page himself has been screaming from the roof tops for a year "I was set up!" In December of 2017 even the NYT's gave him a forum for talking about how he was at the center of a plot by the DOJ coordinating with Hillary to take Trump out. Read this again:
All through September 2016, thru December of 2017 when that NYT's article appeared, Page told the same story: "I was set up as a patsy by the FBI so they could spy on Trump's campaign on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign.
When he first started saying this, he was branded a lunatic babbling anything to save himself since hey, the FBI caught him! Sure this Russian spy will say anything to make himself look good!
By December 2017, when that NYT's article appeared, that babbling didn't look so lunatic after all, did it? The public was told about the Hillary campaign/DNC funding of the dossier in October. Then around December 12, Horowitz's investigation surfaced.
It's now clearer than ever Carter Page had it right, he was trying to alert people as early as September 2016 what was really going on, but it's taken more than a year for the evidence to surface to back him up.
Of course a lot of what he had done from 2013 to 2016 as an UNDERCOVER FBI EMPLOYEE is likely still classified, so 1 handicap Page has always had in trying to tell his story is the fact he can't talk much about his undercover work.
Then he also faced the handicap of the Democrats & DNC Media constantly framing his story as some dilettante attention whore who loves Russia very much and was RECRUITED to be a spy by Russia just a few years ago!
And now it can publicly be revealed this Carter Page guy actually is an undercover FBI employee who spent 2 years posing as something he wasn't to help the FBI take out a Russian spy ring. He was their their key witness/confidential informant!
All the news reports you've read since September 2016 casting Page as some idiot hapless businessman who Russians tried to recruit as a spy but THANK GOD the FBI caught the Russians first before Page could say yes & start spying for them?
They are not true.
Page was an undercover FBI employee who for 2 years strung along a trio of Russian S.V.R. agents until enough evidence had been amassed to prosecute.
FBI/DOJ officials then callously turned on him & claimed he was a Russian spy to the FISA Court.
If WE are just now finding this out, you can bet Trump, Sessions, Horowitz, Rosenstein, Mueller, all the people involved in this knew it long ago.
This is being rolled out now because the IG investigation is done and the report is being written & much of the evidence has been released to the Congress.
This is just another radical plot twist in this story of unbelievable corruption inside the DOJ.
Right after the release of the #FisaAbuseMemo, we learn the FBI......
KNEW ALL ALONG CARTER PAGE WAS NOT ANY KIND OF FOREIGN AGENT FOR RUSSIA.
This entire FISA warrant was based on a huge lie. And the people who took it to the FISA Court *knew* it was a huge lie.
So if you're keeping score here:
1) The FBI proffered no credible, verified evidence to the Court that Carter Page was a foreign agent
and
2) The FBI knew Carter Page was their own undercover employee who'd just helped them take out a Russian spy ring.
So the FBI knew the guy they were offering up to the FISA Court as a foreign agent wasn't really a foreign agent.
And they knew all the evidence they were showing the court to 'prove' this was bogus.
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO PRISON.

You know how a jet fighter launches chaff to throw the enemy off the target?
I'm halfway convinced it was the **TRUMP TEAM ITSELF** in the White House sending out people to be anonymous sources spreading these "OMG Kushner is an IDIOT!" stories in the Fake News Media.
Trump is a master of information warfare.
If anybody started putting 2 and 2 together and snooping around what Kushner was up to, I can totally see the White House sending people out to anonymously seed the media with stories like...this:
All the anonymous sources were in agreement: this Kushner guy is just benefiting from having married Trump's daughter, he's in way WAY over his head, has got no clue what he's doing.
The only thing **different** about how Comey won't answer the questions put to him by these Congressional commitees [other than the standard "I don't recall"] is he won't be saying:
"I can't comment on that because it's currently part of an ongoing federal investigation."
Instead Comey will be saying THIS:
"On the advice of my legal counsel, I invoke my Fifth amendment rights."
or
"My counsel has advised me not to discuss this, and so I won't."
To people endlessly asking me if President Trump is aware of and taking steps to combat this whole "Color Revolution" playbook:
Yes, he is aware of it.
Yes, he is taking steps to deal with it.
No, he's not going to tell you what they are.
The biggest assumption people make is because Trump hasn't **publicly rolled out** his strategy for dealing with this threat that is all over the media & we're all talking about it is because....he's blind to it.
I've had to endlessly explain this for going on 2 years now:
While the investigation is ongoing, you wouldn't learn anything from subpoenaing these goons because they'd do what COMEY & STRZOK & Mueller & everybody else did when they testified before Congress.
Right?
How many times did you want to hear over and over
"I'm sorry I cannot answer that question because the matter is currently under investigation by the Dept. of Justice" or the dozen of variations to that?
Because THAT'S what you would have heard before now.
