Even as Page tried to weasel his way out of giving a single straight answer.

I still am of the opinion that Carter Page is not what he purports to be. Something is off about him - and this is the first time I've seen video of him. Just reading his history he comes off as similar to an Alec Guiness character from an old spy movie.

He may as well say "On counsel's advice, I invoke my right
under the Fifth Amendment not to answer, on the grounds
I may incriminate myself."

That is one very deceptive and guilty-appearing guy.
Keep digging, asshole.

....the very first question Chris asked him, and it is only getting worse.

CH is trying hard to get him to give a straight answer, but it is like trying to nail Jello to a wall.l

A total weasel, but he did admit to meeting Kislyak in Cleveland and also admitted to advising Trump campaign as part of a committee and that he has connections with Trump WH. Has been to Russia many times, giving many speeches, meeting many Russians.

I wasn't going to watch it, but I finally steeled myself for a few minutes of it.

Hayes was way too soft on this guy.

And Page is just as smarmy and smug as I expected. They all are.

I think I know why.

Just who or what is going to hold them to account?

The FBI? NO.

The Justice Department? NO

Congress? NO

So who?

Got the smile plastered on real good, kinda bouncy - I dunno, it's like he's trying to do some PR for himself, as opposed to hiding himself away -

Answering actual questions, well, that's another matter...
