Just 9 days before the FBI applied for a FISA warrant to surveil a
top Trump campaign aide, bureau officials were battling with a Senior
Justice Department official who had "continued concerns" about the
"possible bias" of a source pivotal to the application, according to
internal text messages obtained by Fox News. The 2016 messages,
sent between former FBI lawyer Lisa Page and then-FBI Deputy
Director Andrew McCabe, also reveal that bureau brass circulated at
least two anti-Trump blog media articles, including a Lawfare blog
post sent shortly after Election Day that called Trump possibly
"among the major threats to the security of the country." Yet Comey
admitted that the FBI didn’t know whether they had anything on
Trump even by the time Comey was fired in 2017.
Perhaps the most significant Page-McCabe communications made
plain the DOJ's worries that the FISA application to surveil Trump aide
Carter Page was based on a potentially biased source – and also
underscored the FBI's desire to press on regardless.
