Not sure if it's typical, but maybe they did it for the same reason Joseph Stalin used to force other people to co-sign execution orders? Get the blood on as many hands as possible.
If I was running a criminal enterprise, I would make it a point to get my co-conspirators so dirty they wouldn't even THINK about ratting me out.
“1. Why did the DOJ and FBI want to wiretap Carter Page? “
Because they’re hardcore partisan dems who want to destroy Trump and all republicans..
Page was a target because he went to Russia. Period. He was targeted AS A SPY under Title I. That allowed them to target EVERYBODY ELSE who had any contact with him. That included Trump, Manafort, Conway, and anyone who had any contact with any of them. By essentially accusing Page of being a spy, they could wiretap the whole lot of them.
“17. Who is going to be charged? “
Trump, Trump Jr, Ivanka, Barron Trump...
...George W Bush...
Is the Deep State FBI afraid they'll have to stop LYING TO FISA COURTS?
This is a very informative thread.
‘Whoa, the 2nd shoe just dropped & it’s thermonuclear! DOJ/FBI maintained to secret FISA Court, Carter Page was a Spy for a Foreign Power! This allowed 360 degree survaillance of President Trump’s campaign. These folks have no shame, they belong in prison for knowingly breaking the law!’

One thing I’m sure of, is nothing will happen to the conspirators.
The law is only for the little people.
Here’s the link for post 8:
remember back when Hillary was bragging/lamenting that the DNC was 'broke' and she had to loan them money - and that loan came with strings? i.e., complete control? Complete control means what it means. It will be hard for Hill to backtrack on that brag and now claim plausible deniability.
3. For the FBI, Comey signed 3 applications, McCabe signed one. For the DOJ Yates, Boente, and Rosenstein each signed one or more. Why were different people the signers? Is that typical?
Just turnover. Comey was fired, so McCabe signed.
Yates was fired, so Boente, who was acting, signed. Then Rosenstein was appointed, so he signed.
There were 4 applications, spaced 90 days apart.
For #3, all were ‘Acting’ (FBI Director or Deputy Attorney General) as the officials doing the sign-offs when the warrants came up.
Excellent questions - thanks!
Adding a question:
Is the legal standard for a renewal the same as for the initial FISA warrant?
On #15, it may be that McCain had no real impact. He was eager to help, but they didn't really need him because they had other ways of moving the dossier.
This one is easy to answer. Carter Page had his own firm that specialized in the Russian and Central Asian oil and gas business. Russia - Page - Trump campaign = a means for the conspirators to buttress their Russia collusion fabrication.
The reporter on that one, Michael Isikoff, has a long-term relationship with the intelligence community, and previously coauthored a book about Plamegate with David Corn, one of the other reporters who illegally received information about the FBI's investigation of the Fusion GPS memo. He has also worked closely with Mark Hosenball, who was a Soviet asset deported as a security threat by the British government in the 1970s.
These are the current FISA Court judges:

I've heard the judge in these cases was Rudolph Contreras.
Comey was setting up the pretext for the appointment of a Special Counsel.
16. When are we going to see arrests?
I doubt we will see any arrests. We would need a far more honest, aggressive attorney general for that to happen. There are no words strong enough to describe how disastrous Sessions has been in the AG job.
Was Page ever convicted of anything?
