"Carter Page provided an April 15, 2013, briefing document authored by Russian trade diplomat, Ksenia Yudaeva, on Russia’s priorities for a summit of the 20 richest countries in the world to be held in St. Petersburg in September 2013." time.com/5132126/carter…
"According to published reports, the FBI obtained a first FISA warrant to eavesdrop on Page’s electronic communications during 2013."
IS THAT WHERE THIS STUPID RUMOR COMES FROM
Link goes to the infamous April 11, 2017, Washington Post article authored by Nakashima, Barrett, and Entous.
But, bad as the Post can be, there's no mention of a 2013 FISA on Carter Page in here...
Anyway, this rumor didn't get very far. Made its way to cable tv and a few people in congress, but that's about it. (Maybe Lisa Page and Andy McCabe killed the rumor?)

Getting some chicanerous vibes from this supposed guy, James Richard. Seems like a fake persona.
Only claim to fame is some sporadic late 90's - early 00's articles on energy and oil, and his supposed mega-hedge fund in the Cayman Islands. An internet ghost otherwise, it seems. archive.ph/9Bs1G

According to Rudy Giuliani GLENN SIMPSON spent a lot of time in UKRAINE compiling the dossier on POTUS.
GIULIANI:
What happened here is, in November of 2018 -- this is before Biden was running for President, it's while Mueller was still investigating -- a former colleague of mine called me with information.
GIULIANI:
The information was -- just to shorten it a bit: "You won't believe it. There's a lot of so-called collusion that went on in Ukraine. Not in Russia. That, what they say was going on in Russia, looks like it was really going on in Ukraine."
