FILE - In this Nov. 2, 2017, photo, Carter Page, a foreign policy adviser to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, speaks with reporters following a day of questions from the House Intelligence Committee, on Capitol Hill in Washington. Page, who was the target of a secret surveillance warrant during the FBI’s Russia investigation says in a federal lawsuit filed Friday, Nov. 27, 2020, that he was the victim of “unlawful spying.

WASHINGTON — A former Trump campaign associate who was the target of a secret surveillance warrant during the FBI’s Russia investigation says in a federal lawsuit that he was the victim of “unlawful spying.” “Since not a single proven fact ever established complicity with Russia involving Dr. Page, there never was probable cause to seek or obtain the FISA Warrants targeting him on this basis,” the lawsuit says, using the acronym for the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.Page has received death and kidnapping threats and has suffered economic losses and “irreparable damage to his reputation,” according to the lawsuit, which was filed Friday in federal court in Washington.

The complaint also accuses the FBI of having misled the surveillance court about his relationship with the CIA, for whom Page had been an operational contact between 2008 and 2013. A former FBI lawyer, Kevin Clinesmith,The suit names as defendants the FBI and the Justice Department, as well as former FBI Director James Comey, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and additional officials who were involved in the Russia investigation.

Carter Page is a Russian Asset. All his other cases have been thrown out. He's really pressing his luck here.

Well, it's true.

Enjoy the discovery process, Carter.

Positioning to write and hype a book.

Next time dont call the Russians.....idiot

What a dummy! He should have just silently walked away.

patriot act?

I guess person hasn't read the patriot act, there is no such thing as 'unlawful spying' now right?

It was your own braggadocio and big mouth that got you investigated- and rightfully so. Stupidity is not a crime, but neither is it s virtue Carter

He had his fifteen minutes of fame, now just fade away.

They never had crap on him.

US citizens who don’t communicate with Russian intelligence don’t have their communications intercepted by US and other intelligence agencies

He is just asking for a pardon now.

😂

This is so great! Perfect for when Trump is out of office, and the Biden admin. declassifies everything needed to defend this, and exposes the whole cabal.

That little POS can go to HELL! It was because of words Carter had entered into his text(s) on his own computer. The FBI saw that on his computer, he entered words like: FBI, CIA, ICE, POTUS, KKK, & other 'watch words' the FBI monitors on the internet & deep web. IT'S THEIR JOB!

The FBI was looking at Page long before Trump campaign. Page lived in Moscow for yrs as a self-described “advisor to Kremlin on energy issues”. He was intercepted discussing sanctions relief with Russia in exchange for 19% stake in Rosneft. This is all publicly available, folks.

Good.

Good. Let’s get more of this dickheads contact with Russians out in the open

Did he file this at the Kremlin?

What a scary creep he is. Second only to Steve Miller.

Just because he says it doesn’t make it sell.

AliAdair22

Depos baby!

But your still a crook.. right?

Good luck with that. From everything I've read initially the investigation was warranted. Maybe the government will feel like being nice & giving Page a few bucks to go away. If they don't feel like being nice, Page is just wasting his money.

Criminal says he's the victim. Sounds on brand for the Trump administration.

Does he think it's the Federal Bureau of Insinuation, or is that the nickname for Trump's legal team?

He wants to relive this case again? Like his daddy Trump he loves losing over and over again!

Traitors cannot sue. Carter Page needs to sit down.

Cry me a river, build me a bridge and get over it

Wait, can we go back to the 2000 election and the hanging chads? Or maybe back to Nixon.... let’s take his estate to court. Jeez, do these guys ever move on?

Just more smoke from flaming Siberian road apples, and mirrors reflecting the same pile, from Donald “Willi McCrasslernini“ Trump...

Does he think it means the Federal Bureau of Ice Cream?

And I'm the Easter Bunny......

AliAdair22 He needs Powell, Giuliani and Ellis pronto!

Screw you, Page.

Just like the election lawsuits. It will get thrown out of court.

More Pardons coming all of TRUMP'S henchmen will start to resurface in the next 2 months!

😂😂😂

I don’t think Carter Page has thought this thru. Is he sure he wants to let America know why the FBI saw him as a risk for foreign influence? I mean....he did say in his initial interview that he was being paid by 2 Russians.

Rev 11;15. The 7th Trumpet The 7th angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord (Abraham Lincoln) and of his Messiah, (Jesus) and he will reign for ever and ever.

Carter Page another MAGAt

Are this M/F still around?

Isn't he afraid of discovery?

Sure, and if you believe anything this SLIMY CROOK says, I've got a BRIDGE I'll sell ya!

The number of ballots that our Campaign is challenging in the Pennsylvania case is FAR LARGER than the 81,000 vote margin. It’s not even close. Fraud and illegality ARE a big part of the case. Documents being completed. We will appeal! democrats traitor trump2020

In other words: Obama wiretapped Trumps campaign. We knew, Trump told us 3 years ago.

Absolutely no one: Trumps Circle: 'opportunity to lose in court'

Hey carter release all the legal documents let americans know what you were up to how did you make a living. Let us judge

Oh, the guy with the stupid fucking hat is back.

The man was too ignorant to even know Russia was trying to use him.😲🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Oh yes sweet. Let’s put per view the depositions of Page and other witnesses on this case.

Riiiiiiight...

I hope he has more evidence than Trump/Guiliani had in court. Oh wait, too easy, Trump and Rudy the Rat had NO evidence.

Judges will laugh.

'The same inspector general report that detailed problems in the applications also concluded that the FBI had a legitimate basis for opening the Russia investigation' 'problems' lol jesus. Critical failures at all levels more like it.

Ok, Who kicked hiS rock over?!!!😒

Not likely. Who was US Intel investigating? Russia, why? Because they already knew Russia was meddling to help trump beat Clinton. People got caught talking to much to the wrong country’s spies. Intel Officials were doing what they’re paid to do.

Alright! Go after them.

Hire a lawyer that’s not named “Rudy Giuliani.”

Too late -- Trump presidency is over and false claims related to Russia gate will be thrown out of court.

Proving beyond all reasonable doubt that he’s an idiot.

The-Russian-mark-says-what?

When you work for the Russians, you have to expect that the FBI will spy on you.

Page had the FBI attention long before he joined the Trump campaign, as the Wall Street Journal & other news outlets have reported. In 2013, Russian spies tried to recruit Page as an intelligence source, & Page passed documents to an agent of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service

Finally a good way to get the MuellerReport into a court of law. He will have to prove the facts uncovered are not true and that might not turn out so well as I have read the report.

drug dealers currently in jail: yea me too!

Satiristas Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Which part of “when you talk to Russians the feds are listening”do trumpers keep missing ?

Law student knows this will not succeed

Sure. Lol

'It's not fair they legally found the things I was trying to hide' Carter says in the briefing

The discovery will be lit.

I predict that something else will turn up that will get him in deeper legal trouble than he started.

Carter Page the malfunctioning Droid.

The 🐍 slithers out of his rock to seek new prey. 🙄

Has he reached out to Sidney 'The Kraken' Powell for representation? She has a pretty good track record so far.

This will not end well.

The Republican-controlled senate intelligence committee found that the FBI was justified in its counterintelligence concerns about Page. It found Page evasive and his 'responses to basic questions were meandering, avoidant and involved several long diversions.'

Traitor says wut?

Maybe he shouldn't have been talking to Russia.

Witch Hunt !

It's becoming very clear that Trump is trying to sue America for not electing him. And he just might win! But what if everyone ripped off by Trump & his entities who hasn't bothered to sue suddenly launches legal action against him Does he really have THAT MANY LAWYERS

I call bullshit.

Him again? 🙄

Please tell me Rudy is going to represent him.

cwharlow How’s he getting around the two year SOL?

The US Intelligence Agencies were spying on RUSSIA (THEIR JOB), NOT Trump's FUCKING campaign. Unfortunately, CORRUPT members of Trump's campaign got themselves tangled into the Russian investigation due to THEIR INCOMPETENCE on their own. That was THEIR fault, NOT the FBI's.

Discovery is going to be fantastic...I wonder if Trump cleared this because their about peel back his onion.

😭😭😭

If you lay with the dogs you get fleas Carter Page.

I don't know buddy I'd be checking about that 'probable cause' clause. They know a lot about what they're doing much more than you.

Go away

Still haven't figured out if Carter Page is really dumb or really brilliant. He's so good at appearing both.

Seems the Trump/GOP tactic is to allege something unlawful happened against them, all while showing no evidence of unlawfulness and getting laughed out of court. Their base eats it up, the shoulder chip grows, and the degradation of our society continues.

Everybody knows that...except you trolls

Yeah. Pretty sure he’s just trying to get his name back out there. This was already investigated.

Boo hoo... 😭

Are we really giving this clown airtime again?

There’s lawful spying ?

No doubt. All based on bogus info paid for by the Clinton campaign.
