[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clinesmith probably had a hard time believing a wackadoodle like Carter Page had done anything for the CIA.  I certainly would have a hard time believing it.[/quote]

He KNEW that he worked for the CIA.  It was verified by........ The CIA!!!  Then, he lied and said he didn't.  
Facts, my friend.  [/quote]

He had been some form of informant at one point or another.  Likely not so much working for the CIA but the CIA working him because he seems to have had some shady ties to some sketchy Russians - which is what caught the FBI's attention as well.[/quote]

This is such BS.  The FISA warrants were bogus.

[quote]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 lawsuit to some extent echoes the conclusions of a Justice Department inspector general report that found significant problems with the four applications. Former FBI and Justice Department leaders who were involved in signing off on the surveillance have since testified they wouldn’t have done so had they known of the extent of the issues, and the FBI has initiated more than 40 corrective steps aimed at improving the accuracy and thoroughness of applications.

In the complaint, Page accuses the FBI of relying excessively for information on Christopher Steele, a former British spy whose research during the 2016 campaign into Donald Trump’s ties to Russia was funded by Democrats. It says the FBI failed to tell the surveillance court that Steele’s primary source had contradicted information that Steele had attributed to him, or that Page had denied to an informant for the FBI having “any involvement with Russia on behalf of the Trump campaign.”

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, pleaded guilty in August to altering an email to say that Page had not been a source for the CIA.

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.[/quote]

They were not bogus. If I remember correctly, Clinesmith was only involved in the 3rd and 4th FISA warrant renewals. The 1st and 2nd FISA warrants against Carter Page were legit, based on FBI wiretaps of Russians. [/quote]
