FBI didn’t have enough evidence to open a criminal investigation into Trump’s campaign, so DOJ/FBI group instead decided to treat the Trump campaign as if it were a national security risk, ie a bunch of spies (I guess on the phone between rallies). The “deciders” then needed a legal excuse to spy on the Trump campaign as a national security threat and Carter Page (an FBI friend) became the excuse. In Oct. 2016 the secret FISA court granted a FISA Title 1 surveillance warrant against Carter Page. The same Carter Page was well known to FBI as a patriotic American, was an FBI cooperating asset in 2013, and remained FBI’s primary witness through May of 2016 and the successful conclusion of FBI’s case against a Russian operative named Buryakov. After years of service to FBI, he was all of a sudden a dangerous anti-American spy? Why didn't FBI arrest Page?
5/18/18, “President Trump Questions FBI and DOJ Campaign Surveillance and Spy Operations – Carter Page and George Papadopoulos,” tcth, sundance
“Buried in paragraph 40 of the FBI/DOJ justification article presented by the New York Times on behalf of contributing editors James Comey, Sally Yates, Mary McCord, John Brennan and James Clapper, the oft-used intelligence propaganda outlet attempted to bury the lede:
“The F.B.I. obtained phone records and other documents using national security letters — a secret type of subpoena — officials said. And at least one government informant met several times with Mr. Page and Mr. Papadopoulos, current and former officials said. That has become a politically contentious point, with Mr. Trump’s allies questioning whether the F.B.I. was spying on the Trump campaign or trying to entrap campaign officials.” (read more)
In essence what the Deep State apparatchik was/is doing is admitting they conducted a large-scale surveillance operation against their political opposition by weaponizing the most intrusive intelligence gathering capabilities of the federal government. An admission they denied for the previous 18 months….
And somehow, we are supposed to be ok with this….
From the justification outline the conspiracy crew focused on using the national security apparatus to target: •Michael Flynn; according to the article under Flynn was under surveillance since 2015 because he took a trip to Russia; •Campaign and Delegate Manager Paul Manafort because he did business with Ukraine; and two unpaid low level staff “volunteers” •Carter Page and •George Papadopoulos.
Carter Page
(Full Memo pdf)
In 2013 the U.S. Department of Justice, Southern District of New York, announced an indictment against a Russian Operative Evgeny Buryakov. LINK HERE In March of 2016 Buryakov pleaded GUILTY: Carter Page was an FBI cooperating asset in 2013, and remained the primary FBI witness through May of 2016 throughout the duration of the Buryakov case.
If Carter Page was an FBI asset and witness, responsible for the bust of a high level Russian agent in 2013, and remained so throughout the court case UP TO May of 2016, how the f**k is it possible that on October 21st, 2016, Carter Page is put under a FISA Title-1 surveillance warrant as an alleged Russian agent?
Conclusion: He wasn’t.
The DOJ National Security Division and the FBI Counterintelligence Division, knew he wasn’t a Russian agent.
The DOJ [National Security Division] and FBI flat-out LIED to the FISA court.
Now, go back to the March 2016 DOJ Press Release of the guilty pleading for Evgeny Buryakov, announced from the New York office:
…”Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and John P. Carlin, Assistant Attorney General for National Security, announced”…
Because “FISA Title-I” surveillance authority against a U.S. citizen is so serious (the U.S. government is essentially calling the target a spy), only a few people are authorized to even apply for such surveillance warrants.
One of the four people authorized to make such a filing is the Asst. Attorney General who is head of the National Security Division of the DOJ. At the time that person was John P Carlin.
The same John P Carlin who worked with the FBI
counterintelligence unit, conscripted Carter Page as an FBI asset/witness, gained a guilty plea, then turned around six months later accuses their star witness of being a Russian Spy?…
Why? Likely because the DOJ-National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) and FBI Counterintelligence needed to find a legal way to spy on the Trump campaign. The 2016 FISA Title 1 surveillance of former FBI employee Carter Page became that legal way. [“The Insurance Policy”]
In October of 2016, at approximately the same time the DOJ was making the FISA Court filing against Page, and successfully gaining the surveillance warrant, Asst. Attorney General John P Carlin resigned as head of the DOJ-NSD. –SEE HERE– Did Carlin resign in protest? or, did Carlin resign knowing he too had served a larger purpose?
With John Carlin gone, immediately after admitting to FISA(702)(16)(17) search abuses [page 19, Court cites obvious surveillance abuses], the surveillance application filed by the DOJ to the FISA Court was signed by Sally Yates.
Sally Yates previously denied the DOJ Inspector General any oversight over the DOJ National Security Division. {SEE HERE} Huh,… funny that.
Responding to a 2015 request by the DOJ Office of Inspector General, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates told the internal watchdog they cannot investigate the National Security Division. That’s right, there was essentially no oversight on any activity happening inside the NSD [DOJ National Security Division].
In 2015 the OIG requested oversight [of DOJ] and it was Sally Yates who responded with a lengthy 58-page legal explanation saying, essentially, ‘nope – not allowed.’ (PDF HERE) All of the DOJ is subject to oversight, except the NSD.
So where does this leave us?…
Occam’s Razor: The FISA Title I surveillance authority over Carter Page was cover, most likely retroactive cover, for the DOJ and FBI conducting surveillance on the Trump campaign. Previous to the October 21st, 2016, FISA Warrant the FBI was limited to using illegal searches of FISA(702)(16)(17) FBI and NSA databases {see here}; and according to the New York Times: “National Security Letters”.
[NPR]: “National Security Letters are a type of administrative subpoena designed to allow the FBI to access the records of people suspected of being foreign agents. Section 505 of the Patriot Act expanded the FBI’s ability to use these subpoenas: FBI agents now only have to state that the information sought is “relevant” to a national security investigation in order to obtain sensitive financial, communications and other personal records. The letters are issued by FBI field offices and are not subject to judicial oversight. Recipients of these letters are under a gag order. (link)”
The DOJ-National Security Division and FBI Counterintelligence Unit didn’t care about Carter Page because to them he was a useful tool. It wasn’t Page they needed, per se’, they just needed someone, anyone, who had contact with the Trump campaign that they could apply the label “foreign agent” upon.
How did they enhance that appearance?
Enter Stefan Halper.Remember the Peter Strzok trip to London?
The source of John Brennan’s “Electronic Communication”, which initiated the July 31st, 2016, origination authority of the FBI Counterintelligence operation, is likely FBI and CIA operative Stefan Halper a foreign policy expert and Cambridge professor with connections to the CIA and its British counterpart, MI6.
“[Stefan] Halper met campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page at a July 2016 symposium held at Cambridge regarding the upcoming election, Page told TheDCNF [Daily Caller]. The pair remained in contact for several months.” (link)
Stefan Halper posesses a very specific set of skills from all of his prior work within politics and the intelligence community. Halper was in contact with every official and entity in the set-up; and Halper was in the right places at the times when all of these set-up meetings and issues took place.
Stefan Halper connects to the same circle of intelligence operatives Christopher Steele used for his sketchy [Golden Showers Anti-Trump] Dossier construct. Halper’s role looks simple: make the low-level Trump campaign aides appear dirty…the CIA would relay that information to the FBI; and the FBI counterintelligence unit (Agent Peter Strzok) would take it from there.
The DOJ/FBI just needed someone they could position to gain the FISA “Title I” surveillance approval that would retroactively make all prior sketchy campaign surveillance legal. Carter Page and George Papadopoulos checked the right boxes.
Page didn’t need to be a “plant” or a willing “participant”, he was carrying surveillance authority like an Ebola virus and transmitting it onto everyone he contacted. Both Page and Papadopoulos were useful for the corrupt intelligence apparatus because they could attach a label to them and justify their surveillance and monitoring. Nothing more.
Clear enough?
Carter Page testified to the House Intelligence Committee that DOJ-FBI officials leaked his identity, his role in the Buryakov case, to the media. This is confirmation from Page himself that he was an FBI asset and witness.

Comment: Assuming anyone has “ties to Russia,” what is a “tie to Russia?” Countless people in the US have “ties to Russia.” Who said anything is wrong with Russia? Answer: The money laundering War Industry. If NY Times and Washington Post and their War Industry profiteer friends don’t like Russia, they’re free to go over there and attempt to change it. The incessant PR campaign for bloody regime change in Russia is a continuous attempt to transfer trillions of US taxpayer dollars to War profiteers. Whatever happened to Islamic terrorism? It’s Muslims who are committing mass murder on US soil and many other places–the US political class is even inviting them here with “Diversity Lotteries” and the like. NY Times and WaPo reveal themselves as clearly not motivated to protect the US and its citizens.
Nothing will change. For all the world to see, the seizure of the intel branch of government is permanent as is the complete futility of US elections. No one will be held to account. The US government was successfully overthrown by the political class, US taxpayers have been converted to global slaves. We the slaves are the only ones who want this to stop–and slaves have no power unless they’re willing to die. The winners aren’t going to turn around and free the slaves and give the country back to the people. They got us! You can overthrow a large country if you’re willing to do it gradually over a generation. Certainly the Bush family is as responsible for this as anyone.
The campaign to neuter Trump and his 63 million voters isn’t a Republican vs Democrat matter though it began during a Democrat administration. Trump ran as a Republican, but the Republican Establishment would be happy if Trump and all his voters were gone tomorrow. To the entire political class, the US has long since ceased to exist except as an ATM machine, meaning US taxpayers are global slaves in a borderless world. In the headline of this post I use the term “US” to mean the entire political establishment irrespective of political party. The Establishment of both parties favors open borders, extreme globalism, massive free trade deals, endless foreign wars paid for by US taxpayers, and a crushing central government. Not that elections matter anymore, but if they did, it remains the case that half the electorate (Republican voters, Independents who lean Republican, disaffected Democrats, and other Independents), still has no political party to reflect their views. The GOP E never viewed their massive rejection in 2016 as an opportunity for them and the country, that if they simply represented the half of America that doesn’t have a political party behind it they could win elections. Winning elections isn’t their priority, they’re happier in the minority (1994 was the first time in 40 years that Republicans controlled the House), and in any case they want nothing to do with either Trump or his voters. They care about their donors. All the donor money in the world is invested in putting America Last.
