The special master in the case involving documents seized from Mar-a-Lago could be a judge who signed off on a warrant on Carter Page.
The special master in the Justice Department case involving former President Donald Trump’s documents seized from Mar-a-Lago could be a judge who signed off on a secret surveillance warrant on then-Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Judge Raymond Dearie was the same judge who approved the final Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant to continue allowing the FBI to spy on Page as it was looking for any signs of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, based on a dossier of phony allegations paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
That FISA warrant came after then-FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith was aware that Page, a Navy reservist, had acted as a CIA informant but purposely hid that information, which was favorable to Page, by doctoring an email to falsely indicate that Page had not been a CIA informant. Clinesmith pleaded guilty to one count of making a false statement and received 12 months of probation and a sentence of 400 hours of community service.
Dearie was one of the names submitted by Trump’s team to serve as special master in the case, causing surprise among both Trump supporters and critics.
