9. Carter Page is up to his eyeballs in Russian involvement.

Konstantin Rykov--a major online propagandist working for the Kremlin who has bragged about his efforts to get Trump elected in 2016--actually openly bragged on Facebook in July 2016 that Carter Page was in Moscow for "other reasons" than simply to give an address at a Moscow university, and then added that he was there to "visit the intelligence service."

He actually tagged in former US Ambassador Michael McFaul--who had a long running feud with and who had criticized Page's speech--as a means to taunt McFaul, and McFaul called him out on it.

This was long before the FISA warrant and Carter Page was a well-known name.
