The Democratic Memo confirms Carter Page was an FBI informant when he joined the Trump campaign
The Democratic minority memo contains one astonishing acknowledgment that can be called news. It confirms the following:
[T]he FBI interviewed Page in March 2016 about his contact with Russian intelligence, the very month candidate Donald Trump named him a foreign policy advisor.
As I’ve been reporting since last May, Page was an FBI informant going back to 2013. Page’s backstory was summarized here: https://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/heres-the-backstory-behind-rus...
Keep in mind another obvious fact: since at least 2014 when several Russian SVR intelligence officers were arrested, the SVR has known exactly who Page was and that he had been acting with the FBI to bug the Russian UN attache’s office in NY. Carter testified at trial against one of the arrested SVR agents in 2015. A March 11, 2016 DOJ press release clearly described Page. https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/evgeny-buryakov-pleads-guilty-manha...
What’s really significant here is that at the very time that Page settled into the Trump campaign as an “advisor”, he had yet another meeting with the FBI after first meeting with Bureau agents in summer, 2013, as court records show. http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/2015_0126_spyring2.pdf.%5D ]
From the beginning, Page was an agent provocateur. He was the primary source of dirt gathered in the Steele memo, which clearly describes him as the motivating force within the Trump circle pushing the others to use the DNC/HRC Campaign email that was being dangled infront of them.
In fact, as the Democratic memo now acknowledges, Page was spying on the Trump campaign for the FBI, which we have learned was working with the Hillary camp. The Democratic memo only confirms this. https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4387021/Democratic-memo.pdf
It’s right there on Page One of the Democratic minority memo:
• DOJ’s October 21, 2016 FISA application and three subsequent renewals carefully outlined for the Court a multi-pronged rationale for surveilling Page, who, at the time of the first application, was no longer with the Trump campaign. DOJ detailed Page’s past relationships with Russian spies and interaction with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign, REDACTED . DOJ cited multiple sources to support the case for surveilling Page – but made only narrow use of information from Steele’s sources about
Page’s specific activities in 2016, chiefly his suspected July 2016 meetings in Moscow with Russian officials. REDACTED . In fact, the FBI interviewed Page in March 2016 about his contact with Russian intelligence, the very month candidate Donald Trump named him a foreign policy advisor.As DOJ informed the Court in subsequent renewals, REDACTED Steele’s reporting about Page’s Moscow meetings REDACTED

Yes,
I think you are focusing on the key point, the fact that Page was an operative in the effort to create the meme that the Russian government had something to do with getting the DNC emails to WikiLeaks.
Thanks for doing this. It's not easy to keep reading the Party propaganda.

What's the difference? They're all criminals.
And yet people will keep voting for them and sucking their dicks anyway whether it's the Porky Dems, the Repigs, or PresiDunce Dipshit himself who is blatantly using the office of the president for his own personal gain. None of this memo bullshit matters.
Modern education is little more than toeing the line for the capitalist pigs.

Nunes response to the Dims memo is out and it shows how
disingenuous the DNC memo was. Whoever wrote that response nailed Schiff & Company’s hide to the barn door.

Thanks for the link, Amanda
That rebuttal is brutal. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end.
Why was the FBI / DOJ investigating Page?
He was harassed and smeared across the fake mainstream news as an operative in the Russian collusion between Putin and Trump.
Many delusional Dems believed that Carter Page would be the smoking gun they have been waiting for that would finally lead to Trump's impeachment.
Why get a FISA on Page, who's already wired to spy for the FBI? Why renew it three more times? Why then change the story and claim the FISA was triggered by Papadopolis, someone Page had never met, and not the Dossier? The new story goes that Papadopolis told an Australian official over cocktails on June 20th 2016, that Hillary's emails and other adverse documents had been hacked at the DNC and were going to be released. The official reported Papadopolis to US Intelligence and the FBI.
The problem here is that those documents were old news. They had already started being released by Guccifer2 beginning on June 14th. Even I had seen them on his website. The FBI, apparently had not been keeping up or the Papadopolis ploy is a failed attempt by the FBI to "correct the record" on the FISA fiasco.
Looks like it's getting difficult to keep the lies straight
You broke this down quite well. Then there's that fact that they got the warrant on Page after he left the Trump campaign. This doesn't even make sense.
The reason why they had to get a new one on Page is because they are only for 90 days. Has the how Page started working for the campaign ever been discovered? Sure seems like entrapment to me if the FBI got him the job to work with them in the first place.
Was Humpty Dumpty pushed?
@Pluto's Republic
But wasn't Guccifer2 a related plot, intended to 'verify' the 'RUSSIAN HACK!!!' discredit Wikileaks and draw attention away from Seth Rich's DNC leak and murder?
Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
yes. With one correction:
Guccifer2 showed up on June 14. Seth wasn't killed until July 10.
I'm not the only investigator that considers Guccifer2 a puppet created by Crowdstrike to make people believe there was a "hack". There wasn't. There is no evidence of a hack.
What was going on at DNC headquarters?
Crowdstrike arrived late April, if not before. They didn't put their "protection" on the server until June 6th. Many of the worst of the downloaded (stolen) emails were written in May. And after.
It's peculiar.
