As we told you yesterday, at least two of the FISA warrants used to spy on Carter Page have been found to be invalid:

Back in 2018, Democrat Sen. Richard Blumenthal sent a tweet that was destined to age like fine milk:
Carter Page FISA documents show convincingly that serious & significant factual evidence supported the warrant—and renewals. The national security need for surveillance was real & credible, as the FISA Court correctly concluded—repudiating false accusations by Trump cronies.

On CNN today, Blumenthal was asked about it, and his spin was almost enough to generate a funnel cloud, although he fell short of saying he was wrong:

Nice try, senator!
we all know why all that stuff was overlooked because they want to remove and they're out to get Trump plain and simple but the TDS doesn't let them see it.

Actually all 4 should be declared unlawful as the IG report said the the warrants really rested on the Dossier, which he confirmed as full of unsubstantiated garbage. https://t.co/fLxc7MWeZm

There’s been a whole lot of “unsubstantiated garbage” being thrown around in the last three years.
