Exclusive: FBI Kept From U.S. Spy Court Russian View of Carter Page as 'an Idiot'

By Paul Sperry, RealClearInvestigations

September 06, 2018

The FBI omitted from its application to spy on Carter Page the fact that Russian spies had dismissed the former Trump campaign adviser as unreliable – or as one put it, an “idiot” – and therefore unworthy of recruiting, according to congressional sources who have seen the unredacted document.

The potentially exculpatory detail was also withheld from three renewals of the wiretap warrant before a special government surveillance court. The warrants issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court allowed the FBI to spy on Page and others he was in contact with for almost a year, the sources also confirmed.

The FBI was aware of Russians’ skepticism that Page knew anything of value or was a significant player because the bureau had recorded them voicing such doubts in a wiretap, from an earlier espionage case involving three Russian spies working undercover for the Kremlin in New York.

The FBI cited that 2013 case, minus the disparagement of Page, in its applications to the FISA court. They have been made public only in redacted form, professing evidence that Page was “recruited" by Russian intelligence and had "coordinated" with the Russian government. But “that’s a mischaracterization of the facts in the case,” a congressional source said.

Did that article put the "idiot" comment in context, that it was one Russian spy, Podobnyy, who said that, but also, according to Michael Isikoff's book, said that Page's "enthusiasm works for me" that Page "wants to earn a lot of money" and described his recruitment method of Page as "You promise a favor for a favor. You get the documents from him and tell him to go fuck himself"?

Did it also mention that soon after Page's role in Trump's campaign was announced, that "idiot" Page was invited to give a speech at the New Economic School in Moscow, whose board chairman was Russia's deputy prime minister, and that on that trip Page claimed to have met with "mostly scholars"?

It's hard to debate a mob of angry people mostly.

You really think that's the reason? The low brow debate tactics from Trump opponents vs. the intellectual exceptionalism of Trump and supporters?

Jeff Sessions was Trumps worst decision. An absolutely ineffective, textbook politician.

Textbook politicians claim that God allows the government to take toddlers from their parents and put them in kiddie Alcatraz? Yeah, that was a real Wonder Bread/textbook move.

Their parents should have obeyed the law.

And now you are defending Jeff Sessions, my work here is done.

Something we can actually agree on

There's only 3 or 4 people left on the pro Trump side (so to speak) in this thread series for obvious reasons. Always wondered if anyone noticed or cared.

There are not that many Trump supporters with 2 brain cells to rub together, so we should be a little more tolerant of the ones that beat that threshold, even if they might be a little on the quirky side.

 

[franklinstower]

Which "obvious reasons" are those?

I think disordered personality or else degeneracy are the reasons.

Something like that

Not enough of a deterrence.

He got 14 days in jail. ROFL!

Yep... dude is going to be just fine.

Note: Nothing he was "punished" for has anything to do with Trump-Russia Collusion. More fail by Mueller. All they did is get him in a Perjury Trap.

 

[LangfordBarrow]

How many millions have this useless investigation cost the country? How much division and violence?

If Jeff had a backbone like trump, he would have told the hysterical democrats to fuck off.

The good news is when trump walks it will be THE death blow to the media’s credibility. And he will rightfully hammer them until his second term is finished.

Are you serious with this baloney? Trump's MO is to divide the country. He's been running roughshod trying to force legislation through on a partisan basis and is now whining if the opposition takes control that they'll impeach. Yeah, no shit.

 

[SurferH2O]

Word has it that he is using the time to sign a book deal to slam the Mueller Investigation and to plan a vacation with his wife.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

OP could use some work.

 

[SurferH2O]

What's strange is this...

Why didn't the DoJ grant him full immunity and then not interview him at all?
