As long as there is probable cause, a judge will sign a warrant for just about anything. So I highly doubt just because Carter Page ordered Russian Dressing on his salad with a Stolichnaya on ice would be probable cause. – PB/TK
Who Is Carter Page? FBI Obtained FISA Warrant To Investigate Ex-Trump Aide In Russia Probe, Report Says – By Shreesha Ghosh 04/12/17
The FBI obtained a secret warrant in the summer of 2016 to monitor President Donald Trump’s former campaign adviser Carter Page, as a part of the agency’s investigation into the alleged ties between Trump’s campaign associates and Russia, the Washington Post reported Tuesday citing law enforcement officials.
According to the anonymous officials, the FBI believed that there were enough probable causes for Page to act as an agent of a foreign power, in this case Russia, and so they obtained a FISA warrant after convincing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court judge about the issue.
Page issued a statement to Reuters on Tuesday, saying that he was “happy to hear” about the Post’s report.
Referring to the warrant, he said in the statement: “It shows how low the Clinton or Obama regime went to destroy our democracy and suppress dissidents who did not fully support their failed foreign policy.”
“It will be interesting to see what comes out when the unjustified basis for those FISA requests are more fully disclosed over time,” he added.
