According to intelligence officials, the fact that Page was relatively unknown made him an attractive target.
“It can be tougher to make a FISA case on a prominent, government-connected figure,” said former Army intelligence officer Chris Farrell, now director of investigations at Judicial Watch. “But you can spin a tale about a guy who is on the margins. You can make sweeping generalizations, you don’t have to be too detailed. And they’d use the lack of information on Page to explain that’s precisely why they need the warrant—to learn more about him.”Intelligence sources told The Federalist that Page was likely targeted as a means of accessing the Trump team’s communications.
But there’s lots more there.

Make no mistake, there is a non-partisan Deep State and President Trump is learning just how powerful it is. The only thing missing so far are the daggers hidden in the folds of the togas.
The daggers are not missing, they are there, and they are all too visible. If the Deep State are able to take out Trump then there is really no reason to continue this charade of a Constitutional Democracy. It will be every free-thinking man for himself, and the Devil take the hindmost. Trump should have realized what he was dealing with when all of this sh*tstorm started and he should have had a Special Counsel formed to investigate the Clinton server and e-mails. But similar to another homegrown politician he failed to understand the fallacy of being magnanimous in victory. If Harper had crushed the burgeoning reign of the CBC when he was first elected he might still be Prime Minister today. Trump did not push his advantage hen he was able and has now allowed the opposition to take the offense. Similar to the Brexit vote if the Leavers allow the Remainers to continue their agenda then Brexit will be doomed. The results of what happens in the next few months will be the harbingers of the death of Western Society.
If they take out President Trump, regardless of how they do it, pig hunting season is officially open. And their spouses are fair game as well. No bag limit. Wipe them off the face of the earth.
I’ll be doing my part in east central Florida.
I meant physical daggers as in used in physical assassinations. The other daggers, as you say, are there and working overtime to destroy Trump. You are right about Harper being assassinated by our media, and it will work overtime to assist the re-election of the Soros puppet. You are also right about Britain’s ‘Deep State’ undermining the Brexit vote.
antenor, people like you always say the same stupid schitt. When Trump and Harper start their “governments”, time is a scarce commodity, and they are virtually isolated from much of what is going on in government. For them to have time to “study” certain things, and act on them is almost impossible, because, TIME. If Harper had scraped the CBC up front, he would never have been re-elected, as the ignorance of the CBC bias is the rule of the day. I’v spoken to many every day types, and their ignorance of things is unbelievable, just as your ignorance of starting up a new “government”. Trump is isolated from much of what is going on, by design, and checks and balances are in place to counter him at every turn. Every one is working against him, and you should know that by now, but it appears you don’t, and that is a prime example of the “general ignorance” that is in place for many.
Harper plays by the same rules that Trudeau and the CBC play with.
One and the same for Canada’s Uni LieCon Parties of one.
Harper was constrained by his own moral code, “people don’t like surprises”, as opposed to Alinsky followers who are encouraged to say whatever they want to get elected and then do whatever they want once in power.
It’s not a non-partisan deep state. It is a uni-party deep state.

This.
Owned by Davos and the Bilderbergs.
The Uni-party is so desperate/determined to retain their grip on power that they would see the nation fall.
President Trump is the voters reaction to the stench of kleptocracy that shrouds Washington.
Failing to pull their thieving paws in will result in Trump’s Failure and the Anarchists dream.
Too many otherwise sane citizens believe the time to start shooting is passed,the only restraint is the faint hope that President Trump is what he claims and that enough of the political class will honour their oaths.
The last decades of political theatre has woken some really unhappy people.
Politicians,professional administrators and the chattering class believe their own BS.
They have no idea how destructive the Makers can be.
Even with the lessons of a civil war followed by two world wars.
Liberalism is a progressive disease.
Delusions of adequacy abound.
Liberalism at one time was a beautiful thing, with natural rights only, until it got brain cancer, aka progressivism.
Here’s what the legacy media NEVER report about this fabricated excuse for a FISA warrant …

– Was chosen for the Navy’s Trident Scholar program
– During his senior year at the Naval Academy, he worked in the office of Les Aspin as a researcher for the House Armed Services Committee
– He served in the U.S. Navy for five years, including …

– In 1994, he completed an MA degree in National Security Studies at Georgetown University.

I have edited-out all the snarky, insulting, and dismissive comments published by Wikipedia to diminish the man’s scholarship and achievements. It is quite sickening, reading the attack piece of a bio on Wikipedia.
Bottom line is that Page presents as a wonky academic, but personality aside, he has accomplished more in his life than most all of his attackers in the Deep state combined.
… and WHERE is the indictment? Where are the charges? Where is the evidence that Page ever did anything that passes for ‘collusion’ with Russia to ‘orchestrate’ Trump’s election? What EVIDENCE was presented to the FISA Judges for MULTIPLE renewals of the FISA warrant? Absent any SOLID EVIDENCE of wrongdoing … the FISA Court should be completely disbanded as an anti-democratic tool of political destruction.

Australia Inserting Nano-Chips in $50 & $100 Bills to Track Underground Economy & Coming Barter System
Our ruling classes either could not or would not defend American traditions and civilization in our colleges, in our government, and in our popular culture—and they were increasingly accepting of the globalist consensus that America had a flawed past requiring some sort of reparatory future.
Our leadership accepted a world in which America’s misdemeanors were the source of global outrage, while China’s felonies were largely exempt from criticism. China’s global hegemony was seen as assumed and fated. Efforts to derail it were near inane or retrograde.
