APRIL 11, 2017 : () ...On April 11, 2017, The Washington Post broke a story titled “FBI Obtained FISA warrant to monitor former Trump advisor Carter Page,” which contained detailed information that the FBI had obtained a secret court order to monitor Page, a short-term Trump campaign volunteer, in October 2016.
The story, written by Ellen Nakashima, Devlin Barrett and Adam Entous referred to unnamed U.S. law enforcement and other U.S. officials who told The Washington Post that the FBI and Department of Justice obtained the warrant on Page after “convincing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance court judge that there was probable cause to believe Page was acting as an agent of a foreign power.”
However, in April 2017, former FBI Director James Comey had signed the third renewal on Page, according to reports. In June, Rosenstein would sign off on the fourth FISA warrant renewal application to allow the FBI to continue monitoring all of Page’s communications, which ended in September 2017, after the renewal expired. ---- Damning New Strzok Text to Page: “The Times is Angry With Us About the WP Scoop”, Sara Carter ^ | 9/12/18 | Sara A.

I understand Carter Page had in prior years been a paid FBI informant tasked to travel to Russian and spy on Russians. This parallels Misfud, who was a Western asset, not Russian. Both were later--without evidence--claimed to be Russian agents.

I would want to examine whatever evidence there might have been that Page supposedly "act[ed] as an agent for a foreign power" and whether it was opportunistically coincident with and/or led to (as in justifying as a predicate) the Trump campaign "counter-intelligence" investigation. Everything about Page and Misfud's previous work for the US intel community needs to be examined.

This parallels LHOswald's FBI informant status with regard to the JKF assassination. If that informant status had been gotten out, I don't believe anyone would now believe LHO was the "lone gunman" responsible.

I believe there's at least a three-way parallel among the ways the FBI was using 1) media (e.g., Isikoff), 2) Mifsud and 3) C. Page, each time, looking to get a return from things the FBI had actually (and clandestinely) instigated, later using the results as if they had simply come in over the transom and to justify greater intel-gathering operations, even a Special Counsel.
