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.

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.
You guys are starting to convince me.
There was a rush to renew the FISA courts last year. It was pretty obvious at the time they were trying to keep the FISA court corruption under wraps until after that was done.
<>How could the FISA judges have credibly either not known or never asked about the dossier?<>
The fact that the judges did not hold the signatories to the warrant application in contempt of court after the source/backing of the dossier went public, is all I need to know.
FISA courts are as rotten as the FBI and DOJ.
Agreed, if any organization outside of government pulled the stunts the FBI has they would be behind bars post haste. About the closest to them is the IRS which makes the rules up as they go.
bttt. Halper also might be involved with CIA and Brennan. I heard his brother in law was a highly placed CIA officer. It would be a natural to place Halper in academic circles in Britain as a CIA source as well as the FBI.
Nothing will happen.
