And don't make complaints about it coming from CTH.

You may have to provide some background info. to get comments. My apologies if it's buried in the beginning of the thread - I wasn't following this early on, which may be true for others.

My general observation is that the word you probably want to use is "informant" not "employee." Not unusual for the FBI to provide payments to individuals for information. This says nothing about whether or not they are themselves a subject of interest who may later be surveilled.

But, again, I don't know the details - and as the old saying goes ... the devil's in the details.

Sorry, it works for me. Stealth Jeff on Twitter. I'm sure you could search.

CTH is not Infowars. Try reading it before you just shoot it down.

I posted about this last night.

Carter Page said last night in an interview that we worked with the FBI as a witness. The House Intel Committee transcripts of Page also mention him working with the FBI.

There is no question that Carter Page has been working with the FBI since at least 2013.

It's hard to imagine that he was working with the FBI to help proscute Russians, then the FBI claims Page is a Russian spy, but that seems to be what happened.

Could you write a one-sentence summary of the allegation?

I clicked on CTH but I'm not about to wade through all the detail. Here, I'll say that often publications like that frequently bury the reader in various "facts" with endless links - with the sheer volume seemingly creating the mirage of well-researched evidence. But it's an allusion. A deceptive one.

IF the point is that Carter Page received some sort of payment from the FBI along the way, again (like I first said), so what? Why is that relevant?

There is a Reuters story referring to Page as an "employee". I'll switch to my desk top and see if I can post some direct quotes.

So I did a quick search of "Carter Page FBI informant."

We've got an article in GatewayPundit about how "Carter Page was working as an under-cover employee (UCE) of the FBI, helping them to build a case against “Evgeny Buryakov."

Next on the list is Ron "Secret Society" Johnson in Brietbart claiming that Carter Page may have been included in the secret society of folks within the DOJ and FBI.

It goes downhill from there.

But you get the drift.

Yes ... I did see on CTH ... that there is a payment code UCE1 ... where the E refers to employee. I wouldn't necessarily take that for anything other than a kind of "informant" with all the implications that come with it.

Again ... it's those details.
