1. What was the predicate for spying on Trump, a US citizen and presidential candidate?
The Trump campaign 140 plus contacts with the very Russians who were meddling in our democracy/election. Trump's praising and genuflecting before/about Putin, while Putin was interfering in our election process
2. Counter-intelligence investigations would be: WTF are the Russians doing to meddle in US elections, correct?
yes correct! And that involved all of the Russians contacts with the Trump campaign, the campaign they were supporting and interfering for....
3. Would counter-intelligence investigations involve using foreign assets to setup the opposition party?
There is no opposition party for the FBI... there is gathering information to figure out what the Russians were doing and any Americans that they drew in to help them, witting or unwitting, to accomplish their goal, Whatever it takes to do that, is what they were obligated and had a duty to do.
4. Would counter-intelligence investigations also look at the Steele Dossier and using bogus Russian intel to setup the opposition party?
Counter intelligence should use all of their sources and information gathered, and research them all. It was fine using parts of the dossier if it was true or likely true... even unproven stuff or stuff from an opponent, as long as the Judge was aware of it, and of course along with other substantiated evidence from other sources and facts known.
5. Would counter-intelligence involve the FBI secretly placing an agent inside the Trump WH?
If that's what it would take to figure out what the Russians were doing with them, to accomplish the Russian's goal. It was the intelligence agency's DUTY to do such, IF it was found necessary to find out what was going on between our foreign enemies attacking us, and the Trump campaign.
6. Would counter-intelligence involve lying on the FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign and admin?
Page no longer worked for the campaign when FISA was issued. No one lied on the FISA, the Judge was made aware that the opposition research came from a source that was hired by the Trump campaign's opposition party.
Page has never spoken to Trump and still to this day, has never met him.... no one was spying on Trump or the Trump campaign for any nefarious reason of stealing RNC or Trump campaign plans so they could be given to the DNC or the Clinton campaign.... like what happened in the Water Gate Scandal/Theft.
7. What was the legitimate reason for the Mueller Investigation? What evidence was used?
Mueller was hired because Trump fired Comey who was investigating the Russians and any American connections to the Russians, who were illegally interfering in our election/democratic process... Trump said he fired Comey to basically get rid of the bogus investigation in to the Russians and his campaign on National Television, and he told the Russian delegation that he invited in to the Oval Office the exact same thing.
that right there was possible obstruction of an official investigation, and one that involved the Trump campaign team. Possible abuse of power, much like Nixon tried to do, with the investigators investigating him and the Nixon campaign members.
8. Why didn't the FBI advise Trump that Carter Page was under surveillance like they told Feinstein about her driver?
NEVER! Should they have told Trump! One, he was NOT our president when it was initiated, nor was he president elect, and two, counter intelligence is something kept secret from the people who could be involved in the possible conspiracy. Trump would have TOLD EVERYONE, including Page, including his Russian friends, that Page was under investigation/FISA!!!!!
9. I'm sure Barr, Huber, Durham, and Horowitz will find many more deep state coup attempt crimes to prosecute.
There is no Deep State conspiracy against Trump.
It is all a made up conspiracy that Trump has created to lure his followers in to not believing the TRUTH.
