Unbelievable that you would think the FBI was just investigating Carter Page and not trying to tie his activities to Trump. All Carter Page’s communications were monitored in hope to find evidence of collusion between Trump and Putin.
Here's what's actually in the FBI's Carter Page surveillance docs, and how it matches up with what lawmakers are saying about them
The FBI released previously secret documents online that detail its surveillance on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page on Saturday, after months of debate over the investigation's validity.

In a statement directly after the documents' release, Nancy Pelosi took aim at Trump and the GOP, who she said "must cease their attacks on our law enforcement and intelligence communities, and finally decide where their loyalty lies."
"Despite President Trump's repeated claims, these documents provide clear evidence of 'Russia's coordination with Carter Page,' a high-ranking Trump campaign official, 'to undermine and improperly and illegally influence the 2016 US presidential election,'" Pelosi wrote. …emphasis added.

Page was the only Trump advisor known to have been put under FISA surveillance, which the IG report defined as “among the most sensitive and intrusive investigative techniques.” Page was not charged with wrongdoing on any matter, and the IG report stated “the FBI was unable to corroborate any of the specific substantive allegations against [Trump campaign advisor] Carter Page” provided in the Steele dossier. [9] As of August 2020, at least one FBI official had pleaded guilty to altering a memo to state that Page was “not a source” assisting the CIA, when the original language had stated the opposite—that Page had been helping the CIA obtain information regarding the Russian government.

The Steele dossier was produced by the opposition-research firm Fusion GPS, which had been hired in April 2016 by the political law firm Perkins Coie on behalf of the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee. [12] Though discredited by two federal investigations, the general conspiracy theory that the Trump campaign had colluded with the Russian government during the 2016 election, and specific debunked allegations from the Steele dossier, continued to be spread by Hillary Clinton personally, her political allies such as The Democracy Integrity Project,[13] Congressional investigators such as U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA),[14] and major players in the metropolitan-liberal news media such as the Washington Post, CNN, and NBC/MSNBC
