The Carter Page FISA Applications are out.
Importantly, The released version appears to be from the FISA Court. Note the stamp of the Court Clerk on the first page.
I found this to be unexpected. I will have to think on this some more.
Although heavily redacted, much information appears to be contained within.
You should consider the redactions acts of self-preservation by the DOJ rather than reflections of National Security concerns.
You can find the Page FISA Applications here, here and here. Embedded version below.
The first link is to the FBI Vault (you can download). The second link is to the New York Times pdf version. The third is a Scrib’d upload courtesy of the Conservative Treehouse.
For any who doubted assertions the Steele Dossier was the primary means to obtain the Page FISA Warrant doubt no longer.
As we’ve long-said, the Steele Dossier was a primary component of evidence the FBI presented to the FISA Court.
I will post more information after I’ve gone through the document. I’ve included a few informational tweets to give you a sense of the document.
The four FISA Judges are now known with certainty. We’d previously narrowed down the list:
The Four FISA Judges are:
Rosemary Collyer
Michael Mosman
Anne Conway
Raymond Drearie
In line w/what we noted in A Listing of Participants https://t.co/CSo9TS5OkD pic.twitter.com/GGtS0ljoGF— Jeff @ themarketswork (@themarketswork) July 21, 2018
This next bit will ultimately prove important:
Remember:
Judge Rosemary Collyer signed the initial FISA Application on October 21, 2016.
Collyer is the same Judge who authored the damning April 26, 2017 unsealed FISA Court Ruling.
Collyer was informed of FISA Abuse on October 24, 2016 by Dir Rogers. https://t.co/6B9mZSKnie

A suspicion – which I share:
Those innocuous surface FISA dates being redacted (no reason to redact dates on documents being released) really kicks up my suspicion there is more than one version of the *original* application… [And I am not alone.] pic.twitter.com/tGCBubszBP

Before you proceed, a reminder:
Reminder: Carter Page has not only NOT been arrested by the FBI.
He has never even been interviewed.
Despite his personal request to do so.— Jeff @ themarketswork (@themarketswork) July 21, 2018
This is an excellent observation:
From the FISA App: “The FBI believes that the Russian Government’s efforts are being coordinated with (Carter) Page.”
If there is no evidence of collusion currently, there was no evidence of collusion when the FBI made this statement. pic.twitter.com/DVq76EacJd

Source # 1 is Christopher Steele. Steele was paid by the FBI:
“Source #1 has been compensated [REDACTED] by the FBI and the FBI is unaware of any derogatory information pertaining to Source #1”.

From the second page of the FISA Application:
“The target of this application is Carter W. Page…The status of the target was determined in or about October 2016 from information provided by the U.S. Department of State.”
Wonder if Victoria Nuland’s name is gonna turn up…https://t.co/8r0wY9xvbf

There are indeed contradictions:
They allege that Russians approached Page with offers of “kompromat” on Clinton. This thing is anwalking contradiction of lots that they’ve tried to tell us. pic.twitter.com/enCxK1CihX

And some circular evidence-gathering:
FBI represented to a federal judge that investigators knew for certain that Carter Page met w/ Igor Sechin and Diveykin. Except, the FISA app acknowledges this intel came from Steele dossier. And FBI has acknowledged dossier was not verifieid. https://t.co/7ZstgwlVOh pic.twitter.com/NDYvBIhXB0

Wait, what:
Steele actually told the FBI he was frustrated with FBI procedures and said that Comey’s re-opening of the Clinton e-mail investigation after the Weiner laptop was discovered (in late October 2016) was a distraction and would influence the 2016 election. pic.twitter.com/WWh0YcQRzU

The subject of the FISA Application, Carter Page, had a reaction:
Even more shocking than the civil rights abuses inherent in today’s initial FISA abuse documents and its testament to @Comey & Co’s very poor “legal” judgment is the complete ignorance it shows regarding Russia. Will discuss with @jaketapper on @CNNSotu: https://t.co/Oy5WlcYyE8

The reality:
So now we know. The Russian collusion fairytale was a hoax from the beginning. What a disgrace. https://t.co/soHweYJYwe

And a plea:
Mr President, @realDonaldTrump please personally make it clear to DOJ & YOUR people there that these abuses of power *must* be prosecuted. If they are not, youre ENCOURAGING those who remain in govt & future admins to attempt these same abuses of power bc there’s no consequences. https://t.co/Ko3y5c3Acv

I’ll close it out with this:
