Ex-Trump campaign adviser Carter Page sues FBI, Comey, McCabe and others for $75M over Russia probe

Former Trump campaign associate Carter Page filed a $75 million federal lawsuit against the Department of Justice and the FBI in Washinton on Friday.

The lawsuit seeks relief for "multiple violations" of Page’s "Constitutional and other legal rights in connection with unlawful surveillance and investigation of him by the United States Government."

Page claims to have been targeted by the FBI because of his work with President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.

The complaints made in the lawsuit refers to four warrant applications by the FBI to electronically survey Page, which the document calls “false and misleading.”

... he has good reasons for doing this now, but I think it's getting late for this... can't see him winning. In less than 30 seconds, most people would tagCarter Page as a suspicious individual.

10. The $65 Million Debacle - Pierce Bainbridge Meets American Greed
Sat Nov 28, 2020, 11:55 PM
Nov 2020

One of the attorneys in this case is representing Kyle Rittenhouse and this firm is involved in some fun litigation https://www.lawfuel.com/blog/the-65-million-debacle-pierce-bainbridge-meets-american-greed/

According to Law360, Virage funded Pierce Bainbridge for only a year and is owed a whopping “estimated $65 million.” While we have seen a lot of “truth is stranger” than fiction covering the Lewis litigations; this may be the strangest.

What would compel Virage to provide that type of funding to the firm? .....

Indeed, all of the Virage $65 million was provided after the firm’s original funder Pravati Capital LLC declared a $9.1 million default: a matter of public record. Furthermore, prior to the Virage massive infusion, Pierce Bainbridge had only one trial victory in its history, an August 2018 verdict about mom & pop ice cream sandwiches that netted a $500K verdict, to be divided up three ways – litigation funder, Pierce Bainbridge, clients.

This would be the only, and last, Pierce Bainbridge trial victory to date. Stated differently, Virage gave $65 million and the litigation specialized firm did not win a single trial in return.

There are at least three other firms involved incluing a solo practioner, a three person firm and one mid to small size litigation firm

This will be amusing to watch
