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 …

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.

Replying to @emptywheel
Isn't it also possible that the FBI opened an assessment as to Page in the spring, which gave rise to the March interview + etc. but didn't grow into an investigation until later?

Yes. I was using public shorthand, not DIOG language. When I write it up I'll do the latter. But agree that Page and Flynn may have been just assessments.
