FBI obtained FISA warrant to monitor Trump adviser Carter Page

The FBI obtained a secret court order last summer to monitor the communications of an adviser to presidential candidate Donald Trump, part of an investigation into possible links between Russia and the campaign, law enforcement and other U.S. officials said.

The FBI and the Justice Department obtained the warrant targeting Carter Page’s communications 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, in this case Russia, according to the officials.

This is the clearest evidence so far that the FBI had reason to believe during the 2016 presidential campaign that a Trump campaign adviser was in touch with Russian agents. Such contacts are now at the center of an investigation into whether the campaign coordinated with the Russian government to swing the election*in Trump’s favor.

During an interview with the Washington Post editorial page staff in March 2016,*Trump identified Page, who had previously been an investment banker in Moscow, as a foreign policy adviser to his campaign. Campaign spokeswoman*Hope Hicks later described*Page’s role as “informal.”

(FBI Director James) Comey said this includes investigating the “nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia’s efforts.”

The government’s application for the surveillance order targeting Page included a lengthy declaration that laid out investigators’ basis for believing that Page was an agent of the Russian government and knowingly engaged in clandestine intelligence activities on behalf of Moscow, officials said.

Among other things, the application cited contacts that he had with a Russian intelligence operative in New York City in 2013, officials said. Those contacts had earlier surfaced in a federal espionage case brought by the Justice Department against the intelligence operative and two other Russian agents. In addition, the application said Page had other contacts with Russian operatives that have not been publicly disclosed, officials said.

Page’s role as an adviser to the Trump campaign drew alarm last year from more-established foreign policy experts in part because of Page’s effusive praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin and his criticism of U.S. sanctions over Moscow’s military intervention in Ukraine.

In July, Page traveled to Moscow, where he delivered a speech harshly critical of the United States’ policy toward Russia.

While there, Page allegedly met with Igor Sechin, a Putin confidant and chief executive of the energy company Rosneft, according to a dossier compiled by a former British intelligence officer and cited at a congressional hearing by Rep. Adam B. Schiff (Calif.), the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. Officials said some of the information in the dossier has been verified by U.S. intelligence agencies, and some of it hasn’t, while other parts are unlikely to ever be proved or disproved.

It certainly appears that Trump is getting nervous.

That warrant did not issue in the absence of actual evidence. As you lack the security clearance, I can't share it with you.

A warrant isn't actual evidence. You get a warrant to search for evidence.

Why are they sitting on it? Why did they sit on it during the campaign?

Incorrect, a warrant does not issue without probable cause, probable cause does not exist without some evidence, the warrant is then to search for more evidence. In order for the warrant to issue there must be actual evidence. I'm sorry, you lack the NATO top secret security clearances to view my evidence of coordination between the Orange Tit and Putin.

I'm sorry, but you won't impeach Trump based on a search warrant lol.

Do you get frustrated this is taking so long?
 
if actual evidence exists - why keep leaking things that aren't illegal, but just have bad optics?

I have seen enough false intelligence to last a life time - wake me up when proof is released

this is definetly what we want to talk about. Think about what this means and incidental collection.

The left has always maintained Trump associates could only be incidentally targetted if they spoke to Russians. Now if someone speaks to Carter Page, a person inside the campaign, and an american citizen he could be incidentally targeted.

There is a gathering mountain of evidence against Trump associates.

I know of no one who claims that Trump associates can only be targeted if they spoke to Russians.

If Page was a Russian operative, of course everyone who spoke to him can be targeted.

The Right always claims to be the most 'patriotic' .. yet many have no interest in Russian interference and intrusion in our government.

.. the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Wrong doorbell dummy. I have no interest is anything Snowden has ever thought about anything.

ONLY a dummy wouldn't know the relationship between a warrant and probable cause.

Don't blame Snowden for your ignorance.

fisa courts operate in secret moron. to claim their warrants are issued only based on evidence requires a good deal of faith - which I no longer have in our intelligence operations.
