Nobody Gave a Damn About Carter Page

Well, well.  The plot thickens, as we used to say.

Seems that the current  Durbin/Schiff  line of crap is that the Feebs pulled their FISA warrant on Carter Page.

Not really.

[In 2013] The FBI was investigating and wiretapping Russians. It had no idea who Page was. By listening to Russians, however, the FBI discovered that Page was in touch with Russians. 

What they would have done next is standard operation procedure in the counterintelligence world: they did some background on Page, contacted him, and got him to cooperate against those Russians. Anyone who read the court filing in the resulting case–including the Russians–would have had no trouble figuring out that Page had been cooperating with the FBI.

The likelihood that the Russians almost certainly knew all this–and we know they characterized Page as an “idiot”–makes the notion that all of a sudden in 2016 they were using Page as some sort of master spy even more absurd than it already was on its face....

The corrupto-crats Comey, McCabe, Rosenstein, Lynch, (etc.) needed to spy on Page so they could spy on everyone else who ever talked to Trump.

Page is a doofus, a jock-sniffer whose lust for money is his most outstanding characteristic.  He's not very smart, and certainly not a "Master Spy."  But he served a purpose.
