Carter Page was a paid FBI informant before he volunteered for the Trump campaign. Russian intelligence had approached Page in 2013. Page reported the approach to the FBI and agreed to work with the FBI, wearing a wire, to apprehend Russian intelligence officers.
The initial 2013 approach was used in the FISA application to allege that Page was an "agent of a foreign power," yet the application left out that fact that Page had been vetted for his loyalties as a paid FBI informant, and the fact that he was thanked publicly for helping to secure a conviction of a Russian spy while his identity was kept secret.

Page was shamefully betrayed when his name was leaked, with an outrageous accusation that he was a Russian spy. Page gathered the evidence to jail a Russian spy, and evidrnce against two others who fled the country to avoid arrest.
