2 1/2 years ago, the media hit job on Carter Page began at the Washington Free Beacon, which had hired Fusion GPS in late 2015 to dig up dirt on Trump: google.com/amp/s/freebeac…
In July 2016, Page's "nightmare" as he told me, began. A WSJ reporter and former colleague of Glenn Simpson texted him to ask him to respond to dossier-sourced allegations.

During that time, Steele and Simpson were peddling their Page dossier bullshit to the top news outlets in the country. They met twice with reporters, editors at the WashPo. Finally, a reporter took the bait: Isikoff ran his piece in Yahoo News on 9/23/16:

The next month, Jim Comey used the dossier and the Yahoo article as proof to the FISC that Page was a traitor, a foreign agent of Russia.
Page, a former Naval officer who made the mistake of volunteering for the wrong presidential campaign, was spied on by his govt for a year.

He's been mocked in the media. His story has been ignored by civil libertarians. And he's been gracious through this whole ordeal. Once the FISA app is released, the people responsible for this egregious abuse of power - and the journos who aided it - must be held accountable.
Especially Lisa Page and Peter Strzok for illegally leaking details about Page's FISA order to the press. washingtonpost.com/world/national…
