If US counterintelligence agents have evidence indicating an American citizen is acting as the agent of a foreign adversary, they should... do nothing. Don't look into it. Let it go. -Actual position* of multiple Congressman, including the House Intel Chair *applied selectively

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)
