Full Title:

Report: Trump Campaign Adviser Was Under Secret Surveillance Much Earlier Than Previously Thought

Former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page was the target of a secret surveillance warrant since at least 2014, much earlier than previously believed.

That revelation, reported by CNN on Thursday, raises the possibility that Page, a Manhattan-based energy consultant, was under surveillance while he served on the Trump campaign.

It was reported in April that the FBI obtained a warrant under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) against Page in September. The New York Times reported at the time that U.S. officials obtained the warrant after determining that Page was no longer part of the Trump campaign. Investigators did not want to cross the line of investigating someone involved in a political campaign, an official told The Times.

i’ve stated all along- this DJT Jr/Russian lawyer BS was nothing more than a demoKrat set up to get FISA warrants, or extension of FISA warrants at Trump Tower...

Of course it was a set up..the whole “Im writing to you on behalf of the Russian Govt” even though she had ZERO connection to the Russian Govt was a DNC set up, unfortunately Trump Jr and others fell for it.

2013 ? 2014 ?
What does this have to do with Pres. Trump ?
Pres. Trump didn’t announce he was running until June 16, 2015

Was Page ever truly a part of the Trump campaign? Seems to me that they had reservations about bringing him on, and he was never a part of things. But maybe I am mistaking him for someone else.

Exactly. Too many people with ESP.

No one will leak what other people, in various campaigns, were under surveillance.
It would spoil the narrative.

You are 100% correct. She had no important information to give Trump and the meeting was short and of no interest to the Trump campaign. However, her presence with Trump's son gave linkage to Russia at which time they could get the FISA warrant to unmask. Trump got played on this one.

Wake me when we get to the point where everybody understands that every GOP campaign had been under surveillance from the Obama admin not only in 2016 but in 2012 also, and probably were doing it to Senate candidates and key House candidates as early as the 2010 election cycle (AKA as soon as they possibly could).

Since they did this it seems to me incredibly unlikely at that early point that they did not do similar things to the very many other campaigns that then existed:

they didn’t know who’s going to be the GOP candidate so they spied on probably six or more different campaigns, maybe ALL of them.

it’s a very very likely.

Through Sidney Blumenthal Hillary ran her own Libyan pop-up CIA to overthrow Khadafi and distribute the war spoils to her various donors.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz ran her own blackmail dirt getting Factory through the Awan bros.

it seems to me the Obama Administration was really the Era of Espionage.

My question is why the heck was he being surveilled for YEARS!? Seriously. Can’t the so-called investigators ever fish or cut bait?

Appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate the Special Prosecutor.

Trump got played on this one.

Trump was a victim of a premeditated effort to use the national security apparatus against political opponents.

If you get stabbed in a back alley, you haven't been "played", you have been assaulted.
