Carter Page appears to have worked as an under-cover employee for the FBI in 2013 related to building a case against Evgeny Buryakov. Indications are he likely retained that status through May of 2016. October 21st 2016 Carter Page is alleged to be a Russian agent and put under a FISA Title 1 surveillance, which also covers any contacts and associates. Furthermore, this is retroactive in time.
Using him as a route to justifying previous surveillance on Trumps election organization, sanitizing their extra-judicial spying on a rival presidential political campaign, appears to have been just too convenient and hard to resist.
The question is, is Carter Page still an FBI employee?
Just saw that.
Seems to me theory about Carter Page’s volunteering in Trump campaign as a mole looking more and more likely.
Surely George P. was a plant as well.
