      One can take issue w/@ChuckRossDC's attempts to tie Halper to the dossier and his claim that a lifetime Republican asking Republicans questions is "surveillance," but give him his due for breaking this story.https://twitter.com/adamgoldmanNYT/status/997929140136431616 …

      A right-wing web site, the Daily Caller, first reported that both Page and Papadopoulos met during the campaign with an American professor at Cambridge University in England. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/was-there-really-spy-inside-trump-campaign-president-says-n875516 … via @nbcnews @KenDilanianNBC

      I don’t see how their political affiliations change anything lmao. Why would trump campaign officials meet with a democratic foreign policy expert?

      Let's see, which would you prefer: 1) Having uniformed FBI Agents knock on Page and Papa's doors, making investigation public. 2) Having non-LE person FROM THE SAME PARTY do some discreet inquiries.

      TIL when the feds sends a fed informant to spy on you, it's ok as long as the informant is a member of your political party. Even if you're running for president and the informant supports the other party's candidate! Also, it started pre-Downer/FBI contact. What was the basis?

      One of the problems with @ChuckRossDC's story is he makes no mention of the publicly known March FBI concerns about Page.

      Replying to @emptywheel @bohmbawerk1 and

      The "how this started" narrative has become a mess though. If cointel, why not contact campaign and warn them of issues w/ Page? NYT said probe started w/ Downer, but now it started just off Page hire? Attention going to turn to Downer/Mifsud now. Was Downer/Papa meeting setup?

      How this started is a sloppy question. How Carter Page bc focus goes back years. Same is true of Manafort. How full investigation into TRump camp is a different question.

      So in other words you're using a measure that has been invented by Nunes for maximal effect which (in part) hides that Trump hired a bunch of people about whom FBI already had individualized investigations into, unrelated to Trump.
