Carter Page FISA Redactions: What's Blacked Out?

The vast majority of what is blacked out has nothing to do with the probable-cause showing against Carter Page.

You're probably wondering why, because you've been led to believe that redactions must involve damning evidence against Page.

The Probable-Cause Showing Seems ThinNow, what about those 33 pages? Well, a goodly chunk of them at the beginning does not address Carter Page at all.

Even parts of what the application labels the Page section have nothing to do with Page.

The upshot is that Page vehemently denied that these meetings took place, and the Trump campaign distanced itself from Page.

Again, since Page has never been charged with a "Collusion" offense, and since he has been very public in both denying sinister dealings with Russia and demanding an accounting from the FBI, it would be surprising if the redactions were earth-shattering.

The combined 412 pages of FISA packages are duplicative, with what largely appear to be the same redactions threading through all four application packages.
