FISA Overseer Had ‘Concerns’ About Spying Warrant on Trump Campaign Aide, FBI Texts Indicate m.theepochtimes.com/fisa-overseer-… 
A senior DOJ official, Stuart Evans, who was in charge of the FISA warrants issued in 2016 that allowed spying on Americans, had concerns about the warrant on former Trump campaign aide Carter Page, according to text messages between then-high ranking FBI officials.
Apparently, because of those concerns, the FBI provided the Justice Department’s (DOJ) Office of Intelligence, which manages the FISA warrants, with a “robust explanation” regarding “any possible bias” of a confidential human source used in the warrant.
The source for the core claims in the warrant was Christopher Steele, a former British spy who authored the infamous Steele dossier.
“[Office of Intelligence] now has a robust explanation re[garding] any possible bias of the [confidential human source] in the package,” reads a text sent on Oct. 12, 2016, by @NatSecLisa, then-FBI lawyer, to then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.
“Don’t know what the holdup is now, other than Stu’s continued concerns. Strong operational need to have in place before Monday if at all possible, which means to ct [sic] tomorrow.
I communicated you and boss’s green light to Stu earlier, and just sent an email to Stu asking where things stood. This might take a high-level push. Will keep you posted.”
The text was addressed to McCabe and “Stu” was almost certainly Stuart Evans, then-deputy assistant attorney general in the DOJ’s National Security Division, where he headed the Office of Intelligence. “Boss” likely referred to then-FBI Director James @Comey.
