Carter Page reportedly assisted the FBI with the prosecution and conviction of a Russian spy a few years back. I suppose Page could have done all that with the FBI and then become a Russian spy himself. Maybe that's what they were looking for in the wiretaps. https://twitter.com/papas_kris/status/959938391487012864 …

It’s also important to remember
#FISAWarrants don’t require probable cause of a *crime* just probably cause you are a *foreign agent*. Huge difference. -

You probably know more than I do, but I think this may not be exactly correct. Being a foreign agent, for example, isn't itself illegal if you disclose appropriately. Many US people have registered w/Congress and/or DOJ as foreign agents. On the other hand...

Anybody who's met with top business leaders or officials in Russia has likely encountered Russian "operatives" whether they know it or not. Not defending spying, of course. Just saying contacts themselves are constitutionally protected activities.
-
I have read a lot of articles that imply there's something inherently nefarious about going to Russia, meeting with Russians, doing business in Russia--as millions of Americans do.

Page lived in Russia a few years back working for Merrill Lynch and was interested in Russian energy investments. Russian energy companies are majority owned by government=Putin. But the thousands of US investors and businessmen in this arena aren't necessarily Russian spies.

Wasn't the wire tap on Page for an intelligence investigation? Would it be unusual for a continuing intelligence investigation not to bring criminal charges?
-
I would think so. Unless the target cooperated or something.
-
Any truth to the rumor Page was a FBI/CIA op?
-
Sigh I don't know anymore... maybe just ignorance on my part but it seems often not a lot of separation between rich Russian and gov't actor.. https://www.yahoo.com/gma/trump-campaign-advisor-carter-page-targeted-russian-spies-022804236--abc-news-topstories.html … seems many financial circles involving Russia are reasonable FISA targets.

Yet he's never been charged with anything.
-
Intelligence investigation is different than a criminal investigation... That difference has been glossed over with Trump- Russia Russia Russia. Unsubstantiated intelligence opp morphs into criminal investigation of POTUS... concept is frightening.

We have Dems and resistance faction wanting criminal implications ( charges not necessary ) to campaign on impeachment and then we have others who just want to know WTH happened.

Has a sitting US President ever been wiretapped before? It seems they've been spying on him until just a short time ago. Remember when they re-did the Oval and Trump left for at least a week? Curious.
