So, I read all the Carter Page FISA docs. A couple take aways: 1) In order to get a wiretap warrant renewed you have to show that it's producing info that is helpful to your investigation. 2) The renewal applications keep getting longer and longer. That should mean

that the fruits of the existing wire are being recited in the redacted portions of the renewal applications. 3) Whatever is in those redacted parts was enough to convince 4 different GOP appointed Federal Judges. I know nothing about the other 3, but Ray Dearie
is no shrinking violet, nor rubber stamp. 4) 3/4 of the time that wire(s?) was up was AFTER the election while the Trump Admin was getting up and running. If Page had influence on let's say cabinet picks or policy proposals it could have showed up in his communications during
that period. 5) Devin Nunes outright lied when he said that FBI withheld info about the partisan nature of the origins of the Steele Dossier, it's not just in the HUGE bold font footnote, it's in the front of the application as well. Nunes also lied about the reason that FBI
cut ties with Steele. It has nothing to do with the quality of his work or their confidence in his info, it's b/c he defied the FBI's admonition not to discuss the dossier contents with anybody else and released the info to the press in a
reaction to Nunes (or someone else connected to his committee) leaking the CLASSIFIED letter that Comey sent to Nunes' committee about the Weiner laptop. How come nobody gets their knickers in a twist over that leak?
