Why isnt anyone in Congress or media who do want the truth pointing this out today? Carter Page was designated a spy and therefore the Obama DOJ could spy on him and any contacts in Trump campaign legally!!!! But in fact as we know it was illegally under a false pretense of a fake dossier!!
That "legally/illegally" distinction is a trap. As a matter of law, if a warrant was sought by a US official (check) and a warrant was issued (check), the surveillance was legal.
There is no remedy in the law for corrupt officials or corrupt judges. They skate, as a matter of law.
50 USC 1509(b) DefenseIt is a defense to a prosecution under subsection (a) that the defendant was a law enforcement or investigative officer engaged in the course of his official duties and the electronic surveillance was authorized by and conducted pursuant to a search warrant or court order of a court of competent jurisdiction
