So your theory is that (setting aside the timeline and different Russian spy discrepancies highlighted above) that Page (UCE-1) was an FBI operative/informant before April 2012 who was instrumental in bringing three Russian spies to book. He planted FBI surveillance devices in documents he shared where intelligence was gathered, including the taped conversation by the Russian spy calling him an idiot. To create a false trail Page was then interviewed by the FBI in June 2013 and a summary of that interview presented into court.

He then goes to ground for two years waiting for Donald Trump to announce his candidacy for President. Six months later he volunteers as a foreign policy advisor (but secretly an FBI mole) where he serves the campaign until September 2016 when he leaves after press stories of his more recent contacts with Russia surface.

Then a month after he is no longer any use to the FBI as his links to Trump have been severed they go through the onerous routine of obtaining a FISA warrant to place him under electronic surveillance (why they can't just use the bugs he has presumably been carrying around for them for four years is a mystery) which they then renewed three times more. Presumably to again to lay a false trail that he really is one of their people. All the different FBI and DoJ people presenting the warrants are in cahoots in this cover up.

How Lardy thinks you have a credibility issue is beyond me!
