(The "judges" never bothered to ask why Page was never charged with espionage, by the way?)

These were NOT "Title 3" warrants. These were "Title 1" warrants, for the issuance of which the DOJ/FBI had to swear and certify to the court that they KNEW Carter Page was an active Russian spy. "Title 1" warrants are, in the vernacular, two- or even "three-hop" warrants. In this case, they authorized (albeit probably retroactively) the scum at the FBI and DOJ to wiretap and otherwise illegally surveil anyone who was contacted by anyone who was contacted by Carter Page (Not a typo: "anyone who was contacted by anyone who was contacted by Carter Page"), potentially reaching back as far as five years.
