A short story of Carter Page. Going back to 2011 when he worked in Russia as a energy investor and adviser, the FBI suspected him of various unsavory deals. They got their first FISA warrant on him in 2014 but it led to nothing. Trump hired Page as a foreign policy and shortly after the FBI procured another FISA warrant to tape his conversations. To get the warrant they had to show that he violate federal criminal law. He has not been charged with any crime and his case is all but forgotten but he left behind a legacy. Once they had permission to tap his phone they were allowed to listen in on the conversations of those he talked with. This is called the two hop method. This opened the door for the FBI to listen in on almost everyone in the Trump campaign. How difficult is it to get warrant. Over the entire 33-year period, the FISA court granted 33,942 warrants, with only 12 denials – a rejection rate of 0.03 percent of the total requests.
