Except for that lack of Probable Cause thing, which is the very basis of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution.

Let’s review. Page was the subject of 4 FISA warrants. To get a warrant, the federal agents have to adequately demonstrate probable cause to a court. Two of the four warrants were properly issued, with the agents giving truthful information to the court showing probable cause. Two others contained lies by the agent, for which the agent was eventually charged, tried, and convicted.

In all cases, Page’s rights were protected. Twice by properly using the law to surveil Page, and twice by tainting any evidence obtained via the improper surveillance.
