      It's acutely interesting to me that material-supporter-of-terrorism turned NatSec hawk Peter King thinks Carter Page should not be spied on. He doesn't even rep Brighton Beach. At least not directly.

          Which part? The Peter King terrorist supporter or the Brighton Beach part?

          The terrorist supporter part is that he was loathed by the Brits in the 1980s bc he was such a successful fundraiser for the militant IRA.

          Or the Hamptons, for that matter, where more of the Russians who matter here actually hang out

          Maybe the first warrant is defendable. But why did it take 3 more to finally not charge Page? It seems that keeping Page investigated and leaking about it has been a helpful smoke to fuel Russia hysteria in the public opinion, don’t you think?

          1) You're sure the GOP didn't leak the order? 2) FISA is not a criminal warrant, it's an intel one. 3) With each reauth they would have had to show they were getting intel.

          Okay, let’s see if Page is ever charged in connection with the intel that justified the warrant renewals. I remember the “resistance” constantly talking after the election about a lot of smoke regarding a collusion of the Trump campaign and Russia. That bothers me now

          FISA warrants are NOT criminal warrants. There continues to be smoke/fire. 4 ppl have been charged, at least 2 pled guilty/are actively cooperating. CI investigations take years; don't get to see evidence during investigation. You hear about case bc new info reported & Trump 😫
