Important context for today's Senate nonsense:
- FSB officers tried to develop Carter Page as an asset
- the FBI warned Page about this
- he continued to pursue a relationship with the Russians in question
- this is documented in court/arrest records

So I mean, GEE WHIZ, I wonder why the FBI was concerned his presence and renewed connections to Moscow in the context of being named as an adviser to candidate Trump -- because of course this raised double red flags.
He wasn't some innocent.
He wasn't some innocent.
And let's remember again:
People who spent their careers pursuing Russian organized crime and conducting counterintelligence operations against Russia in the US have been systematically targeted, discredited, smeared, and fired by POTUS.

There's a reason people who do this for a living were panicked about trump as a candidate.
There's a reason people who had been on the Kremlin dole one way or another for some time gravitated toward him.
Anyone pretend of context + precedent doesn't matter is willfully blind.
