*'''17 January.''' Barack Obama announces final agreement on the Iran nuke deal. David Asher, Veteran US illicit finance expert of the [[Pentagon]] serving on the [[Project Cassandra]] task force investigating the Hezbollah criminal enterprise said Obama administration officials expressed concerns to him about alienating [[Tehran]] before, during and after the Iran nuclear deal negotiations. This was part of an effort to “defang, defund and undermine the investigations that were involving Iran and Hezbollah. The closer we got to the [Iran deal], the more these activities went away,” Asher said. “So much of the capability, whether it was special operations, whether it was law enforcement, whether it was [Treasury] designations — even the capacity, the personnel assigned to this mission — it was assiduously drained, almost to the last drop, by the end of the Obama administration.” Within months, task force officials said, Project Cassandra was all but dead. Some of its senior officials, including Jack Kelly the veteran DEA supervisory agent who created and led the task force, were transferred to other assignments. As a result, according to ''Politico'', the US government lost insight into not only drug trafficking and other criminal activity worldwide, but also into Hezbollah’s illicit conspiracies with top officials in the Iranian, Syrian, [[Venezuela]]n and Russian governments — all the way up to presidents [[Nicolas Maduro]], [[Bashar Assad]] and [[Vladimir Putin]], according to former task force members and other current and former U.S. officials. The derailment of Project Cassandra also undermined U.S. efforts to determine how much [[cocaine]] from the various Hezbollah-affiliated networks is coming into the United States, especially from Venezuela, where dozens of top civilian and military officials have been under investigation for more than a decade.<ref>https://www.politico.com/interactives/2017/obama-hezbollah-drug-trafficking-investigation/</ref>

The “Title I” designation as a foreign agent applied <u><b>retroactively</b></u> to any action taken by Mr. Page, and auto-generates an exponential list of other people he came in contact with. Each of those people, groups or organizations could now have their communication reviewed, unmasked and analyzed by the DOJ/FBI with the same surveillance authority granted upon the target, Mr. Page. The [[Stormy Daniels]] payment scheme, for example, was discovered by the Obama DOJ illegal FISA Title I abuse. All electronic communications by the Trump campaign are in the hands of [[Robert Mueller]]. James Comey never informed Congress of the surveillance, as required by law, because Comey knew it was illegal.

FISA Title I surveillance of U.S. citizens is the most intrusive, exhaustive and far reaching type of search, seizure and surveillance authority, permitting the FBI to look at every aspect of Mr. Page’s life.  All communication, travel and contact can be opened and reviewed.  All aspects of any of Mr. Page’s engagements are subject to being secretly monitored.  This is an entirely different level of surveillance authority, the highest possible, and outside FISA-702 search queries (Title VII) of US persons.
