Federalist: In an eight-count complaint filed Friday in the D.C. District Court, Carter Page seeks damages of no less than $75 million from the U.S. government, the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, and individuals responsible for obtaining four illegal Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act orders against Page.
Page’s 59-page complaint lists as defendants a veritable “Who’s Who” of the SpyGate scandal, including former FBI Director James Comey, Assistant Director Andrew McCabe, and the disgraced team of Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. Also singled out were Kevin Clinessmith, who earlier this year pleaded guilty to falsifying an email to hide Page’s past service as a source to the CIA, and FBI Agents Joe Pientka, Stephen Somma, and Brian Auten, with additional defendants identified merely as John Doe 1 – 10 and Jane Doe 1 – 10.
The first four counts of his complaint allege claims under FISA, with one count seeking damages for each of the four FISA court orders the defendants obtained against Page. FISA provides a private right of action to allow “an aggrieved person. . . who has been subjected to an electronic surveillance or about whom information obtained by electronic surveillance of such person has been disclosed,” to sue those responsible.
Offenders should have to pay, not us taxpayers. It should really hurt those dirty bastards.
They should all squirm and then have to mortgage their homes the same way Gen. Flynn had to do. That would be the best. I can dream can’t I?
Good news. In complaint #6 it says bad actors can be sued!
In DC District Court? Good luck!
Those corrupt reptiles won’t be much help I’m afraid.
Hope I’m wrong.
Wow! An entire wardrobe of law suits!!
Go get ’em Carter!! I hope others follow ‘suit’.
If bad actors can be sued, look out DiNiro and Jim Carrey!
Flynn’s turn, now!
Why didn’t he sue at least 2 years ago.
