It still doesn't answer the question "why Carter Page?"
If you were going to fabricate evidence and get a warrant on that evidence (as is the claim), why not target someone still intimately involved in the campaign? It's not like Donald didn't surround himself with questionable characters who would have been easy to impugn.
Trump's campaign adviser is also on the record saying Page never had an official email account with the campaign.

So why Carter Page?
Carter Page allowed them to intercept anyone who Carter Page communicated with.
They will need to have excellent proof that He was in fact a Spy.
According to a Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal complaint filed in 2015, Buryakov and two other Russian intelligence operatives identified as Victor Podobnyy and Igor Sporyshev discussed trying to recruit Page as an asset in 2013. Podobnyy and Sporyshev were also charged by the U.S. but were afforded diplomatic immunity and left the country, the Justice Department said in a statement in May.
Page was not named in the complaint but he confirmed to BuzzFeed that he was the person being discussed as a potential asset by the Russians. Page knew he was the person because he was interviewed by FBI agents in 2013 as part of their investigation, according to BuzzFeed.
There’s no evidence Page did anything wrong and the recruitment effort occurred about three years before Page was identified by Trump as being an adviser.
