It seems that a few holes in my knowledge of Spygate needed filling.
What was the role of John Carlin? Carlin was the Assistant Attorney General for the Department of Justice National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) in the Obama Administration. During the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, Carlin received regular updates, according to Lisa Page's testimony before Congress.
It is also true that Carlin failed to report Section 702 "about queries" violations, as he was required to do. This was just before the FISA warrants against Carter Page were obtained. This failure to supply this required information no doubt aided in unlawful surveillance of Carter Page. Also, Carlin knew of Carter Page's previous work for the FBI. He was present in court when the warrant application was before the court. He resigned shortly after his failure to supply the mentioned information. He was racing Admiral Rogers, who disclosed the information subsequent to the warrant being granted.
Carlin had to know Carter Page was no foreign agent. Carter Page is referred to here as UCe-1 |
Carlin looks dirty but hasn't been charged with a crime.
