Based on public knowledge, Carter Page definitely should have had his emails or phone calls eavesdropped on. FBI counter intel believed it had enough evidence for probable cause. So did the FBI Director. So did the Deputy Attorney General. So did a FISA judge. That's not common.
But maybe you distrust FBI, Justice Department, and the John Roberts-appointed FISA judge. There's still: -Counter intel first suspected Page back in 2013 -Reports Russia tried to recruit Page years ago and found him susceptible -Page publicly bragging about advising the Kremlin
I'm not saying Page should be jailed. That requires a fair trial--I've never chanted "lock [him/her] up" about anyone--and I don't know if there's enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt he committed a crime. I'm not even saying he should be indicted. Just investigated
It was reasonable to suspect Page might be acting as a foreign agent. It was therefore reasonable to investigate him. Nunes et. al. are saying US counter intel shouldn't have looked into Page at all. It's a ridiculous thing to argue. But here we are. (END)
Your point is good. But I feel we keep having this same discussion about the issue of when you apply the partisan filter to your logic and how it all then "makes sense". The belief in the institutions & the integrity to act seem to be in dramatically shortening supply.
I'm partly making an argument, but also expressing incredulousness. Even after living through 2017, I'm having trouble accepting that it's an actual public argument. Because it's not just believing in institutions, but also public knowledge and Page's own words.
I think that's grossly misrepresenting the "actual position" of multiple congressmen
How so?
There is no “How so”. You’ve covered the reasoning. Nothing more is needed.
Well except for that shitty premise... but yeh, after that, we're reading you 5 x 5
So you are say with my military career, that I should have been doing my job while speaking to foreign nationals about my duty? Don’t investigate me, I’m only discussing the secrets of my job. DA on 5 X 5. Get real.
JT, I think you might be a step or two off the pace, on this deal. It’s cool. We’re all at different places on this one, but know this: Page was/is “UCE-1.” There’s really no disputing that fact. now.https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-usa-espionage/fbi-penetrated-new-york-based-russian-spy-ring-using-hidden-recorders-idUSKCN0WB2NM …
