(1) WP casually notes FISA warrants don't require probable cause. "An app for electronic surveillance...need not show evidence of a crime."

(2) DOJ-NatSec and the FBI began their #Russiagate investigation right after Chris Steele gave U.S. CI pages from his dossier in July 2016.

(3) The warrant's timing (07/2016) and renewals suggest the DOJ and FBI used the "Page pages" from the Dossier or Page's actions at the RNC.

(4) WP says the 90-day warrant was renewed "more than once"--which (do the math) means the DOJ/FBI investigation of Page _just concluded_.

(5) Another possibility is that the investigation was _still ongoing_—and the leak to the WP compromised the investigation by alerting Page.

(6) Based on the timing of the warrant and renewals, the DOJ and FBI can likely confirm/deny everything said on Page in the Steele Dossier.

(7) If so, the DOJ/FBI know for certain whether Trump got a percentage of the 2016 Rosneft sale in exchange for lifting sanctions on Russia.

(8) That this is just _one_ of the FISA warrants secured for the #Russiagate investigation may mean _other_ Russian agents worked for Trump.

Carter Page told Trump he was under surveillance...that's when 45 spilled the milk about it. "Obama has me wire tapped". IMO

Hes about to be interviewed on @cnn by @jaketapper

ooh I love your threads

You give them far more credit 4 attention 2 detail than I do. Based on seeing how FBI & DOJ handled a multi-level investigation, #skeptic

Did you hear the "breaking conference" he just gave? It doesn't even deserve to be classified as red herring.
