      Why is Byron, like Chuck Ross, unfamiliar with the public record showing a Carter Page FBI interview in March? It must take real effort to remain unaware of that public detail.https://twitter.com/byronyork/status/998869325040832512 …

      So if the FBI informant was working the Trump campaign *before* the FBI investigation formally began, then when did the FBI investigation really begin? You have to go back a ways... http://ow.ly/45MD30k7o6e

      I'll write this up when I'm back home. But this is very simple: CI investigation into Page: 2014 to 9/17. CI/Criminal investigation into Manafort: 2014 to present. CI investigation into Flynn: ?? to 11/17. CI investigation into Trump, post Papa: 7/16 to present.

          If Trump had 1) done the least bit of vetting 2) cared even half as much abt RU spies as he does abt FBI informants 3) not hired so many assets, the FBI wouldn't have had so much they had to check out.

          Should fbi have allowed a presidential nominee who was target of a CI investigation to continue?

          Unclear what power you think the FBI has or should have to “stop” a candidate. Also the candidate wasn’t a target at the time, maybe a subject at best?

          He & campaign were neither...CI was there to gather info so FBI could determine if Russia had infiltrated the campaign...this was done to PROTECT the campaign...not harm it

          If this is all a good hearted FBI effort to investigate the possible infiltration of the Trump campaign in 2015-2016, and considering they had electronic surveillance and Human Intelligence monitoring EVERYTHING going on in the campaign what the hell are they investigating now 🤔

          In what way were they monitoring “everything”? I certainly don’t understand that to be remotely true.

          FISA 1 Surveillance warrants on Carter Page is massive encompassing on ALL electronics on Page and 2 (if not 3 hops). You would easily have the entire campaign and probably a lot of Congress.

          You don't understand the tiniest little bit about surveillance. I'm guessing you're a Sara Carter fan, who also doesn't?

          Wrong again. A prior CI "into" Page would have been cited extensively and loudly in Schiff's memo, as would purported 2014 FISA's as claimed by CNN, without evidence, and in contradiction to law/logic:https://twitter.com/Missy_America/status/968246323286716416 …

           ❌Monsieur America ❌ added,

          Missy America @Missy_America
          Further: 50 U.S. Code § 1804 (a)(8) requires prior FISA surveillance of Target to be fully enumerated in subsequent FISA applications. Is it your unnamed source's contention that alleged 2014 FISA surveillance is detailed in 2016 application, and simply ignored by Schiff? 🤔2/2 pic.twitter.com/3zUrXerWRs
