The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday denied former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page’s attempt to revive his lawsuit against former FBI Director James Comey and seven other FBI officials over their roles in the abusive FISA surveillance during the Russia collusion hoax.
The High Court’s brief order offered no comment or explanation, slamming the door on Page’s years-long fight for justice after he was targeted with four FISA warrants built on lies, omissions, and the discredited Steele dossier, according to Fox News.
As The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively since the earliest days of the Russia hoax, Carter Page was never charged with a single crime. Not one.
Yet the FBI, under Comey’s leadership, obtained repeated FISA warrants to spy on him by feeding the secret court a stream of uncorroborated opposition research paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC through Perkins Coie and Fusion GPS.
The 2019 Department of Justice Inspector General report by Michael Horowitz laid it bare: 17 significant errors and omissions in the FISA applications targeting Page.
The FBI deliberately hid from the FISA Court the fact that Page had previously cooperated with the CIA on Russian matters, explosive exculpatory information that destroyed their entire premise.
In April, the Trump Justice Department finally did the right thing and settled Page’s claims against the federal government for $1.25 million.
A DOJ spokesman was blunt: “No American should ever face covert and unlawful surveillance based on their political view,” adding that the investigation relied on “inherently flawed and uncorroborated information, proving it was a political sham from the get-go.”
But the claims against the individual bad actors, Comey and his FBI cronies, were dismissed by a federal judge on statute of limitations grounds.
Lower courts ruled Page waited too long to sue (he filed in 2020, arguing the clock should start from when the full extent of the abuses became clear via the IG report).
The D.C. Circuit upheld that ruling. And now the Supreme Court has refused to even hear the case.
