Carter Page was the convenient target of a FISA application the Obama-era DOJ and FBI needed to cover for their illegal surveillance. In essence, late summer 2016 the DOJ/FBI needed to get a search warrant to cover for the illegal political surveillance they had been undertaking for the past 10+ months on the Trump campaign.
The DOJ/FBI had an intelligence source named Carter Page, essentially an informant who worked for the CIA and whom the FBI previously used to indict Russians in the Buryakov case. Page was tangentially affiliated with the Trump campaign, so he became the conduit -a target- to get a search warrant that would provide the cover for all prior surveillance.
Carter Page became the useful target, and the Steele dossier, again provided by -essentially- another confidential informant (Chris Steele), provided the evidence to support the warrant. Thus, the dossier was important to support the search warrant application (the FISA app). The FISA application is the Title-1 search warrant application, and the dossier was essentially the underlying ‘woods file’, to justify the warrant.
Everything associated with the search warrant was nonsense, including the informants (Chris Steele, Igor Danchenko, Charles Dolan) who provided the DOJ with evidence (fabricated information) to take to the judge. That’s why it is all falling apart in closer examination. Everyone in the DOJ and FBI knew the evidence justifying the search warrant was nonsense, but they needed the warrant to cover for their prior unlawful conduct.
However, the target of that warrant, the former useful CIA, FBI and DOJ informant who was valuable to the DOJ in prior legal cases, is angry. Carter Page is righteously angry at the FBI and DOJ for lying to a judge (FISA Court) to get a search warrant against him and everyone he talked to and communicated with. So Carter Page has been filing civil lawsuits against the participants hoping to hold them accountable.
Today the civil lawsuit Carter Page -vs- James Comey, former FBI Director at the time when Page was targeted, was assigned to a new judge….. and who do you think the judge “randomly selected” was?
Yup…. James Boasberg, current presiding judge over the FISA Court.
(Source)
“Randomly reassigned” my ass.
Judge James Boasberg is up to his neck in this.
OK, bear with me and remember, this “random assignment” is a civil case against James Comey.
Not only was Judge James Boasberg the judge that signed off on the third extension of the search warrant that contained the fraudulent Steele dossier as its primary evidence to support it….. James Boasberg was also the “randomly selected” presiding judge in the criminal case against Kevin Clinesmith, the FBI lawyer who doctored emails to deny that Carter Page was a CIA asset in order to justify the warrant.
Judge James Boasberg was also the presiding judge in the media lawsuit seeking the James Comey memos the FBI and DOJ refused to release. It was Judge Boasberg who ruled the DOJ could keep the Comey memos hidden from the public (link) to protect the integrity of the Robert Mueller special counsel investigation. Robert Mueller was also put in place to cover up the illegal political surveillance (ie. “Spygate”) that was also the primary purpose of the fraudulent search warrant.
But wait, it gets worse… Robert Mueller filed the final renewal of the fraudulent warrant (June 29, 2017), and it was Judge James Boasberg signed it.
Let’s be really clear here. The FISA court is a small unit. The judges in/around Washington DC are also a small unit. They know everything that is going on in and around their DC network. A FISA judge inside that DC system knows every granular detail of everything that comes into their purview. All of it. Judge Boasberg even wrote the last two FISA court opinions (2019 and 2020) about the FBI abuses of the FISA-702 process and warrantless, illegal violations of the NSA database.
Now we are to believe it is just another random coincidence that James Boasberg is selected to be the judge in the civil case between Carter Page and James Comey?
To quote the White House occupant, “C’mon man”…
When the Carter Page FISA application was originally assembled by the FBI and DOJ, there was initial hesitancy from within the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) about submitting the application, because it did not have enough citations in evidence (the infamous ‘Woods File’). That’s why the Steele Dossier ultimately became important. It was the Steele Dossier that provided the push, the legal cover needed for the DOJ-NSD to submit the application for a Title-1 surveillance warrant against the campaign of Donald J. Trump.
When the application was finally assembled for submission to the FISA court, the head of the DOJ-NSD was John Carlin. Carlin quit working for the DOJ-NSD in late September 2016 just before the final application was submitted (October 21,2016). John Carlin was replaced by Deputy Asst. Attorney General, Mary McCord.
♦ When the FISA application was finally submitted (approved by Sally Yates and James Comey), it was Mary McCord who did the actual process of filing the application and gaining the Title-1 surveillance warrant.
A few months later, February 2017, with Donald Trump now in office as President, it was Mary McCord who went with Deputy AG Sally Yates to the White House to confront White House legal counsel Don McGahn over the Michael Flynn interview with FBI agents. The surveillance of Flynn’s calls was presumably done under the auspices and legal authority of the FISA application Mary McCord previously was in charge of submitting.
♦ At the time the Carter Page application was filed (October 21, 2016), Mary McCord’s chief legal counsel inside the office was a DOJ-NSD lawyer named Michael Atkinson. In his role as the legal counsel for the DOJ-NSD, it was Atkinson’s job to review and audit all FISA applications submitted from inside the DOJ. Essentially, Atkinson was the DOJ internal compliance officer in charge of making sure all FISA applications were correctly assembled and documented.
♦ When the anonymous CIA whistleblower complaint was filed against President Trump for the issues of the Ukraine call with President Zelensky, the Intelligence Community Inspector General had to change the rules for the complaint to allow an anonymous submission. Prior to this change, all intelligence whistleblowers had to put their name on the complaint. It was this 2019 IGIC who changed the rules. Who was the Intelligence Community Inspector General? Michael Atkinson.
When ICIG Michael Atkinson turned over the newly authorized anonymous whistleblower complaint to the joint House Intelligence and Judiciary Committee (Schiff and Nadler chairs), who did Michael Atkinson give the complaint to? Mary McCord.
Yes, after she left main justice, Mary McCord took the job of working for Chairman Jerry Nadler and Chairman Adam Schiff as the chief legal advisor inside the investigation that led to the construction of articles of impeachment. As a consequence, Mary McCord received the newly permitted anonymous whistleblower complaint from her old office colleague Michael Atkinson.
♦ During his investigation of the Carter Page application, Inspector General Michael Horowitz discovered an intentional lie inside the Carter Page FISA application (directly related to the ‘Woods File’) which his team eventually tracked to FBI counterintelligence division lawyer, Kevin Clinesmith. Eventually Clinesmith was criminally charged with fabricating evidence (changed wording on an email) in order to intentionally falsify the underlying evidence in the FISA submission.
When John Durham took the Clinesmith indictment to court, the judge in the case was James Boasberg.
♦ In addition to being a DC criminal judge, James Boasberg is also a FISA court judge who signed off on one of the renewals for the FISA application that was submitted using fraudulent evidence fabricated by Kevin Clinesmith. In essence, now the presiding judge over the FISA court, Boasberg was the FISC judge who was tricked by Clinesmith and now the criminal court judge in charge of determining Clinesmith’s legal outcome. Judge Boasberg eventually sentenced Clinesmith to 6 months probation.
As an outcome of continued FISA application fraud and wrongdoing by the FBI in their exploitation of searches of the NSA database, Presiding FISC Judge James Boasberg appointed an amici curiae advisor to the court who would monitor the DOJ-NSD submissions and ongoing FBI activities.
Who did James Boasberg select as a FISA court amicus? Mary McCord.
♦ SUMMARY: Mary McCord submitted the original false FISA application to the court using the demonstrably false Dossier. Mary McCord participated in the framing of Michael Flynn. Mary McCord worked with ICIG Michael Atkinson to create a fraudulent whistleblower complaint against President Trump; and Mary McCord used that manipulated complaint to assemble articles of impeachment on behalf of the joint House Intel and Judiciary Committee. Mary McCord then took up a defensive position inside the FISA court to protect the DOJ and FBI from sunlight upon all the aforementioned corrupt activity.
You can clearly see how Mary McCord would be a person of interest if anyone was going to start digging into corruption internally within the FBI, DOJ or DOJ-NSD, and you can see how Judge James Boasberg personally selected Mary McCord to be the advisor to the court.
Now the latest….
Every action, every word, every legal action being run against our constitutional republic tracks back to the same four or five dozen people. And remarkably, those same folks and their like-minded predecessors have walked free for decades, from their taxpayer-funded offices in the District, to enclaves in the Hamptons and northern Virginia, to high-dollar apartments in London.
Day after day, year after year they walk up and down the earth. Nothing and nobody impedes them. They fear no one. The accusations launched against them are tiresomely repeated. Those accusations bounce off these biped monsters like raindrops off a tin roof. Their brazenness is unlimited.
Are these circumstances the revealed shortcomings of our form of national organization? Or is it that Satan’s minions control this world, regardless of governmental structure?
I’ll be it’s Satan’s minions for $500.
Aaron, I will take the Swamp for $500:
And the answer is: He is the only judge in the DC to here any cases related to the Steele Dossier, wire taps and search warrant of alleged suspects.
And the question is:_____________ ?
They will all have to stand in front of Christ one day for the final judgement. Eternity in the lake of fire will be manys sentence.
Excellent comment.
Outstanding 47Yinzer! Yes!
And I am so tired of all of them. Why can’t they just disappear? Why shouldn’t someone make them disappear?
There’s that man again.
Beryl A. Howell is the Chief United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.
She would have the final say on what judge gets what case. She would also be involved to determine if there was any conflict if interest.
But, she was the federal judge supervising the grand jury for special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.
So…..?
Cleanup in aisle 5, Judge Boasberg here! God, the deep state is destroying our country!!!
Just a coincidence that Cox knew Carter Page, and referred him to the Trump campaign.
https://dailycaller.com/2017/05/30/nixons-son-in-law-explains-why-he-referred-carter-page-to-trump-campaign/
Just a coincidence that Carter Page was a foreign policy advisor on McCain’s 2008 New York Leadership team.
https://blog.4president.org/2008/2008/01/john-mccain–11.html
Just a coincidence that Page had a long history of working with Russians as the head of the Energy & Power fund at Merrill Lynch
Caught a page was sent to the Trump campaign by the deep state with his full knowledge of what was going to happen. Occam’s razor!
Correction: Carter Page…
Stephen K. Bannon: “there are no conspiracies but there are no coincidences”.
Again these people are acting with swamp impunity. They believe there will never be any comeuppance as dedicated devotees of the swamp. Their mission is to destroy the USA and by god are gonna see it through no matter the costs.
Their problem is We The People. They’ve now cloistered themselves inside their blue hives and listen to the news actors in the MSM, tell them 24/7 about how righteous they are, confirmation bias.
In truth, they are getting one step closer to becoming lamppost accoutrements. History is replete with this tyrants tale told throughout millennia.
This is sloppy, overt and frankly dumb. As these crimes keep bubbling up, I’d reckon there are people on the lower rungs that will start singing like a canary to save their own asses. Or they risk becoming cannon fodder for the swamp.
This is serious and out of control. Our government has become a foreign captured operation that operates to sustain their criminal fiefdoms. They don’t care who gets killed, see the Wuhan Con/bio-attack.
PRAY!
“They believe there will never be any comeuppance as dedicated devotees of the swamp.”
No, they KNOW there won’t be any because they own the system and the process.
Who watches the watchmen? The watchmen now watch themselves.
The mechanisms intended to prevent that were called “separation of powers” with the last resort safety mechanism being the “free press” using true investigative journalism to inform something other than a hedonistic, dumbed down citizenry.
None of that actually exists any more. They are all corrupted.
During WW2 did our adversary’s capitol/headquarters, Berlin, fall first or last?
Our WWs Berlin is DC.
Puzzled why anyone would expect DC to fall in a different chronological order than Berlin did.
Impatience?
But they have family, target the family. Expose the family and corruption there. Put the pressure on and don’t relent. When that fails, Peppermint their a$$es
Who exactly is the calendar committee?
There is no ‘justice system’ in the US. They are all corrupt. Cops. Prosecutors. Judges. Most defense lawyers. They are either bad. Corrupt. Or complicit. It’s their club. And you are not in it (full disclosure; I used to be in the club, I got out. That’s why I am 100% confident in what I say)
I remember when I was young and naive; getting my first whiff of the “club”…
An insider informed me how it worked in courts: DA/Public Defender/Judge: Deals consistently cut every.single.time. They always took turns winning. (This is the short version).
Yes, the judges were involved in the scheme also and the best of the best were sent to a ‘higher court’ in short order. The most fun happened when the spouses were also attorneys, especially “court-appointed” or were “head-nurses” in the ER and worked with the cops bringing in the “victims” of mental illness, or other “crimes”…
It happens all the time, in every state, every county, every city, every town, every village and every school district.
We are just beginning to witness the public exposure.
Stay tuned.
You nailed it and more to your point, here is something else that few people realize.
Judges are ultimately nothing more than successful POLITICIANS.
They are either elected in crooked elections that are fixed by the two parties, OR they are appointed by other sleazy politicians.
That’s the story.
“There is NO justice system in the US”??? Untrue. Thank God.
Choosing to cast despair summoning and energy hexing word spells rather than offering prayers and morale boosting encouragements?
Helpful how?
Perhaps read the bible and/or ‘The Power of Positive Thinking’ to inspire better use of time and creative energy? ?
This is insane. How can this be allowed to continue? This judge should be recused from anything to do with this phony case.
He should be tried and executed for treason.
DC is enemy held territory; their capitol. Its not technically part of the United States.
“This is insane”? True. However such insanity, from an historical perspective, is still pretty tame. Thank God.
Judge Boasberg who is trying his best to shutdown The Dakota Access Pipeline which is the most modern and safest pipeline ever built in the United States. Boasberg wants to replace the pipeline with a 700 tanker car railway operation hauling 5 million barrels of oil a day over 800 miles because the railroad is safer! Who do you think owns the railroad? Yep…WARREN BUFFET!
The Judge has those Charles Manson eyes too.
SCOTUS judge Roberts is president (principle) of the fisa court. I do not know his function and authority to select judges to specific cases. however, he should know the process for each selection.
has it occured to judicial watch to request foia material from justice Roberts about his involvement in selection of judges to handle these cases.
it would seem appropriate to know how the president of fisa makes decisions, when he may get involved, and what he may do. for instance, is there a chain of command to follow when transferring a case to a new judge?
who initiates that request, and why?
seems reasonable foia request to push into the soft underbelly and see what happens
God Bless America
Senior federal bureaucrats control our nation. They work together to promote and protect their policies and their people.
They think they know what’s best for all of us.
They don’t care about citizens, liberties, or public service. They think they are above laws. They think they are the law.
They are so strongly entrenched, that civil war may be the only way to purge them and smash their power.
If they are not smashed and purged, they will gleefully impose unlimited tyranny on all of us because they know best and are nobly righteous.
“Control our nation”? Only if the citizens in a state agree to give up their power and/or allow it.. The choice is theirs.
The ultimate oversight to malicious judges is Congress. Impeachment isn’t just for presidents.
BUT.
That would be the GOP. And so the story ends.
The GOP is made up of over 400,000 individual local precincts. Each precints membership is open to ALL registered Republicans who live there.
Precinct members ELECT city, district, county and state leaders. They vote on actions and policies, find candidates for all ballot positions and poll watchers for elections.
Perhaps those who are not active members in their GOP precinct contribute to the very problems complained about?

Embrace your adventure. Accept your invitation. Be who you want others to be. Inspire by your example.
God bless President Trump and all MAGA Hearts, even those who don’t yet know their hearts are MAGA. ?
MAGA has the numbers to take the GOP infrastructure away from RINO politicians.
It’s political street fighting, but it defeats one of our two main enemies. And, it gives us a political tool we need to fight woke liberals.
The “divorce” is going to be a bit chaotic, to say the least.
It’s not too far off now.
The commies running this show are being successful at destroying the economy and the society.
When the store goods run out (we’re burning through them fast) the gimmiedats will head for the burbs and farms.
Have your clothes and guns where you can find them in the dark.
III/0317
The commies need to be destroyed. Just a few to start.
Deprogramming and/or exorcisms? Yes. Divorce? Absolutely not.
Same court clerks and process that will assign “random impartial” judges to hear anything AG Garland controlled Bull (Crap) Durham has to say, if his indictments make to the courts.
The fun part about this is it will Clintonistas facing an Obama rigged judicial system.
I wonder what videos they have of Boasberg…
I’ve spent a lot of time in real swamps with snakes, alligators, wasps, leeches, all kinds of biting bugs, panthers, bears, ghosts, etc. and the DC swamp is more dangerous and filled with creepier creatures. It’s a miserable place filled with miserable, unhappy, paranoid fake people. Imagine lying awake every night wondering if you will commit suicide with three shots to the back of your head. They control all of DC including the Supreme Court.
Fortunately, DC is teensy and its All Powerful reputation is a Wizard of Oz tier manufactured llusion.
Fortunately, Toto Trump is helping Americans to turn away from the illusions and look at the weak frauds previously hidden behind curtains.
Once free from illusions, like Dorothy and crew, people realize its up to them to deal with their wicked witch problems.
Next comes the discovery that they’ve had powers to do so all along but their illusions had kept them from doing so.
Unlike Dorothy and crew, we can “power up” by allowing God to work with us and through us. ?

Cold Anger boiling over
“Cold anger boiling”.
Harnessed and turned into MAGA energy?
Well I’d say Page has a great case to request Boasberg’s recusal, but it is Washington DemC…
We need the dirty judges to go before a clean hanging judge.
Where’s Judge Roy Bean when ya need him?
choice number 2 was the other corupt judge, Amy Berman Jackson.
How did corrupt judge — and racist –Sullivan miss out on this opp’y??
Sullivan retired, although he signed on with ‘senior status’ and was still hearing cases until his slot was finally filled on 10/26/21. Course, with his senior status he could still hear cases when ever the ‘courts are too busy or short on judges to try cases’.
The most responsible group for the state of the country are the mainstream media.
Does this make the judge the Primer – put it on top of the Bondo before the Spray Paint?
What was the purpose of FISA?
Have those days passed?
“Jeb” Boasberg (yes, he goes by Jeb) is a DC insider’s insider. How inside? When Jeb was nominated to the DC Superior Court in 2002, here is no less than Sen John Warner testifying on his behalf:
“I [Sen Warner] have a picture taken of him [Jeb Boasberg] in my office in the Pentagon when I was Secretary of the Navy. I had my son and the nominee over for some luncheon or something, and I had to leave my office. A photographer slipped in and got a picture of this nominee in my seat, feet on the desk, and one of my big cigars in his mouth, and my son was sitting there hilariously laughing. I feel like he is a member of the family….I would like to end my statement with a few words by my son John in support of Jeb Boasberg. My son writes, ‘‘Since the 4th grade at St. Albans School I have regarded my good friend Jeb Boasberg as the embodiment of the young Abraham Lincoln during our civil war education class, matching him in physical stature, leadership, morality, wisdom, and just plain good looks. Jeb more than once saved me from my own devices at that young age. Not only did he provide a shining example of what a young boy could be to his peers, he also uplifted all his classmates in the eyes of the elder generation.’…He is also one heck of a good basket-
ball player.”
Good times with the Warners! Funny how their paths crossed again when Jeb got himself appointed to the FISA court a decade later.

the fbi might have some real or invented leverage on him. it’s a possibility.
or he could just be an evil bastard like most of them.
ICIG Atkinson was called to testify in front of schifftys? committee in the SCIF during the first shampeachment. Cant remember if he was put under oath or not, but does it really matter anymore? Also cant remember which repubs were there, but as far as I know the transcripts of that hearing are still sealed up in schifftys lock box never to be seen again. Id love to read those unredacted transcripts someday to see what the communists are so afraid of.
That was the transcript John Ratcliffe most wanted the public to see. IIRC, Ratcliffe might have been the congressman who questioned Atkinson for the Republicans. I think Atkinson’s transcript was the only one that was not released.
Is Angela Caesar still the clerk of the DC Circuit Court, who is the person that “randomly” assigns cases to judges?
Is there any way an assignment to a particular judge can be challenged. It seems that Judge Boasberg is a gigantic ball of conflict of interest.
The wheel she spins only has Amy Berman Jackson and Boasberg on it….and her thumb…
Not a coincidence.
The mostly peaceful Summer of 2020.
I love how Mad Maxine referred to “gasoline” station; It’s as if she had never been to one as she makes her chauffeur get the gas on his own time and dime.

He needs to file motion to disqualify.
Do these lawsuits need to be filed in this District?
“And the evil goes ’round and ’round, oh-ho-ho, and we end up here”
Can Page demand a full recusal of DC courts and move it outside? Talk about tipping scales. FJB
For a while now I have suspected that along with getting his DAs across the country elected, George Soros has also corrupted the clerks who “randomly” assign court cases. It is strange that there was not a single judge across this entire country that ruled what whoever challenged the 2020 election had no standing. Not even President Trump.
So no conflict of interest then….
Limbaugh used to use the expression “the usual suspects”.
How very descriptive . . . and accurate!
Don’t know if Boasberg was originally crooked, or turned.
But given that the 4th branch has every email, text, call, and presumably web search available for blackmail there are very few that cannot be turned.
And even if you were squeaky clean, would you put it past the 4th branch to threaten your wife, kids, grandkids? How many people are truly untouchable?
President Trump.
You are going to find Carter Page was in on the joke from jump. All of this is to make it seem as if he wasn’t.
Carter should move to recuse Boasberg. Period. If for no other reason than his retention of McCord as the FISA amicus demonstrates either cluelessness beyond reason or utter corruption.
Under normal circumstances, I would want the trial court to whom the false representations had been made to be the trial court considering what consequences should be meted out for those false representations. But both Colyer and Boasberg long had it within their inherent power to sanction the crap out of Comey, McCabe, McCord et al for their misconduct and neither did anything remotely similar to such accountability. Now we’re expected to accept that a judge who should be the first to be offended that his court was treated like a hooker on the side of the street by the DOJ and FBI, but who simply bent over for another trick, will be the one to bring the perpetrators to justice? C’mon, man!
Excellent handle.
The fix is in. Justice Roberts set up the court with judges that are corrupt like the DOJ and FBI.
Kind of like when Hillary won the coin toss every time.
The one and last thing standing in the way of the democrat party/deep state and total control are patriots with the 2nd amendment. This is why the deep state has made us “domestic terrorists” public enemy #1.
…and the FISC falls under Chief Justice John Roberts.
I don’t care if this was “randomly assigned”. This is a huge conflict of interest and the judge needs to recuse and/or Carter Page needs to seek legal remedy to get an UNINVOLVED judge! Are you kidding me????!
I still have a hard time dealing with how in your face the corruption is. These seditious swamp rats are so confident they are above the law that they do things publicly that scream “corrupt as hell” all the while knowing they are untouchable. They don’t even lift a finger to hide the corruption.
Until the coup plotters get serious jail time the only reaction a rational and informed person can have is to get more and more black pilled. I’m swallowing black pills by the handful at this point.
Has Obama ever been Touchable….never a smidgeon.
Confident? Perhaps. However another, perhaps more plausible explanation is desperation.
Hopefully Carter Page’s lawyers will request that Boasberg recuse himself due to conflict of interest.
Doubt it, Page is one of them.
It could have been worse. At least it isn’t Judge Emmet Sullivan!
It’s not just coincidence and corruption . . . it’s incest !
“ Boasberg was the FISC judge who was tricked by Clinesmith ….”
Boalsburg wasn’t tricked he was in on it, part of the corruption and part of the coup. The foxes all handing off the ball to each other.
I believe that Carter page was also in on it sent in by the FBI so they could have an guaranteed target for the pre ordained warrant, a person who had prior dealings with the Russians as an FBI informant and a CIA stooge and intelligence agent.
Carter pages civil suit is merely a false flag created to maintain his fake persona and the hoax.
Ditto Manafort. Both got burned. At least Page wants revenge.
Boasberg, whose sister Melissa is closely tied to Sander’s campaign advisor and Soros Fellow Zack Exley, is also a Bonesman.
