If President Trump declassifies evidence in the Russia investigation, Carter Page’s summer bike ride to a Virginia farm and George Papadopoulos’s hasty academic jaunt to London may emerge as linchpin proof of FBI surveillance abuses during the 2016 election.
The two trips have received scant attention. But growing evidence suggests both Trump campaign advisers made exculpatory statements — at the very start of the FBI’s investigation — that undercut the Trump-Russia collusion theory peddled to agents by Democratic sources.
The FBI plowed ahead anyway with an unprecedented intrusion into a presidential campaign, while keeping evidence of the two men’s innocence from the courts.
Page and Papadopoulos, who barely knew each other, met separately in August and September 2016 with Stefan Halper, the American-born Cambridge University professor who, the FBI told Congress, worked as an undercover informer in the Russia case.
Papadopoulos was the young aide that the FBI used to justify opening a probe into the Trump campaign on July 31, 2016, after he allegedly told a foreign diplomat that he knew Russia possessed incriminating emails about Hillary Clinton.
Page, a volunteer campaign adviser, was the American the FBI then targeted on Oct. 21, 2016, for secret surveillance while investigating Democratic Party-funded allegations that he secretly might have coordinated Russia’s election efforts with the Trump campaign during a trip to Moscow.

Who invited page to speak in Russia? I would want to know WHO invited him.
The FBI is a racketeering, criminal outfit.
WWhy won’t Trump release all the FISA documents?

Draining a swamp can take lots of time, engineering, and labor. OTOH, with enough dynamite, one can blow it and its creatures to smithereens in a moment.
We can only assume it isn’t the right time. I’ll trust PDJT on this one.
In any event, I do not understand why these judges are not called to testify to Congress.
If that happens, today, I will do backflips of joy. But I won't be clearing my personal calendar.
Failure to disclose exculpatory evidence.... sounds like a Weismann MO.
“...FISA court ...willing accomplice...”
My position since this came out has been that the FISA court was almost certainly in on this.
How could the FISA judges have credibly either not known or never asked about the dossier? I will not be surprised at all if we find out that the FISA judges are corrupt and were in on the entire scheme.
Soloman needs a new outlet other than The Hill.
Those libtards hate his guts, as shown in the comments.
. . . and if so, that goes back to Chief Justice Roberts, does it not?
“...goes back to Chief Justice Roberts...”
Exactly, and I think at least one of Roberts’ recent swing votes has not been in support of President Trump’s policies. (I have to go out soon so did not research this- I am relying on memory)
I fear Roberts could decide against the constitutionality of the wall emergency decision and suspect that Roberts is being pressured somehow.
I smell a huge stinking ‘rat infestation.
