SUPREME COURT Rejects Carter Page’s Last-Ditch Effort to Hold James Comey and His FBI Cronies Accountable for Russia Hoax FISA Surveillance Abuse



quote:

As The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively since the earliest days of the Russia hoax, Carter Page was never charged with a single crime. Not one.

Yet the FBI, under Comey’s leadership, obtained repeated FISA warrants to spy on him by feeding the secret court a stream of uncorroborated opposition research paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC through Perkins Coie and Fusion GPS.

The 2019 Department of Justice Inspector General report by Michael Horowitz laid it bare: 17 significant errors and omissions in the FISA applications targeting Page.

The FBI deliberately hid from the FISA Court the fact that Page had previously cooperated with the CIA on Russian matters, explosive exculpatory information that destroyed their entire premise.

In April, the Trump Justice Department finally did the right thing and settled Page’s claims against the federal government for $1.25 million.

A DOJ spokesman was blunt: “No American should ever face covert and unlawful surveillance based on their political view,” adding that the investigation relied on “inherently flawed and uncorroborated information, proving it was a political sham from the get-go.”

But the claims against the individual bad actors, Comey and his FBI cronies, were dismissed by a federal judge on statute of limitations grounds.

Lower courts ruled Page waited too long to sue (he filed in 2020, arguing the clock should start from when the full extent of the abuses became clear via the IG report).

The D.C. Circuit upheld that ruling. And now the Supreme Court has refused to even hear the case.

Statute of Limitations in my mind is and always has been bullshite to enable these crooks to do exactly what theyve done here. Get away with crimes.

I dont care how far back you committed a crime. You did it you pay for it,

Is there a statute of limitations regarding treason?

AI Overview
There is no statute of limitations on treason, meaning an individual can be tried and punished for the crime at any point, regardless of how much time has passed.

Capital Offense: Under 18 U.S. Code § 2381, treason is punishable by death. Federal law dictates that any crime punishable by death—such as capital murder, espionage, and treason—has no statute of limitations

Consensus on Prosecution: Legal scholars and the Department of Justice agree that because of the extreme severity of the crime, there is no time limit for prosecuting treason.

Evidentiary Standard: While there is no time limit for prosecution, the U.S. Constitution (Article III, Section 3) makes conviction notoriously difficult. A conviction requires either a confession in open court or the direct testimony of two witnesses to the exact same overt act.

One where the guilty have used their political clout, power, connections and cover from the swamp to drag 'disclosure' and run the clock out.

"You didn't know about it, but you should have sued when it happened."

That is a stupid standard.

No doubt about it. How can one know when when one doesn't know when.

Agreed….a serial killer identified 30 years later through DNA is punished….what’s the difference?

I can understand why you feel that way, but I strongly disagree. The ability to defend claims can diminish greatly with the passage of time. Look at the absurd verdict against Trump in the civil matter in NY. Under any traditional S/L, that case never sees the light of day. S/L are imperfect but necessary to prevent abuse.

No S/L for murder.

Except the ruling, included the relevant part of the post you quoted, states that the time started running when the IG report revealed the information.

Statutes of limitations/prescriptive periods (LA state equivalent) are foundational in both criminal and civil law.

They are also very easy issues to avoid. Having a case tossed on those grounds is a user error--not an issue with the court systems.

In what way is that applicable to this case/discussion?

Correct. He failed as usual by mis-stating facts.

If this is true, then the statute of limitations is too limited. The IG report was issued in 2019, and he filed his suit in 2020.

I suspect that is not actually the statute of limitations, and my original post is correct. That's pretty typical though. I'm usually correct.

The list goes on and on, and we’re seeing that not one damned thing is going to happen to any of them.

Everything must be done by the book and exposed before an avalanche of prosecutions happens.

If there’s any outfit that’s been shown to do things by the book, it’s been this iteration of the DOJ
