What's better to ask is how all this BS and stupidity was started as the result of some greedy money-seeking nobody like Carter Page, who appears to be the entire basis upon which a full-blown government investigation and numerous congressional hearings were based.
You don't actually believe what you wrote above, do you? And if you do, then you need to do some more reading. I'll start you off with this quote by Trey Gowdy, who has read the FISA warrant...
"Pressing the point, CBS News White House and senior foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan asked: "The memo has no impact on the Russia probe?"
"Not to me, it doesn't — and I was pretty integrally involved in the drafting of it," Gowdy, a former federal prosecutor, said. "There is a Russia investigation without a dossier. So to the extent the memo deals with the dossier and the FISA process, the dossier has nothing to do with the meeting at Trump Tower. The dossier has nothing to do with an email sent by Cambridge Analytica. The dossier really has nothing to do with George Papadopoulos' meeting in Great Britain. It also doesn't have anything to do with obstruction of justice. So there's going to be a Russia probe, even without a dossier." "
He's basically saying Trump is wrong when Trump Tweeted yesterday that the memo "totally vindicates me." And that comment by Trump, as well as Trump Jr.'s comments that the memo is "sweet revenge" speak to the fact that Trump released the memo for PERSONAL reasons, NOT for the best interests of the American people.
