The article didn't explain, so no evidence . . . just my intuition.

(81,861 posts)I think he wants to testify in public because he is guiltier than most. Nothing to lose. Makes him look forthcoming

Watch Chris Hayes interview him... he is all "maybe it happened, maybe not" and smug and smiling like he is mr. superspy
I am absolutely sure that someplace in the transcript there will be a "If I tell you I will have to kill you" stmt from him

(16,420 posts)Carter Page has invoked the 5th, on his own without a lawyer, regarding document production, says House Intel member Speier. Which documents? "Any documents," she tells me.

(9,186 posts)the Republicans won't let him get away with it.
Seriously, if the 5th Amendment applied to documents a search warrant could be thwarted by invocation of the privilege.

Because Devin Nunes and the Republicans on his committee are stonewalling and obfuscating and anything that comes out of its chambers is at least partially suspect.
Poor Adam Schiff. Poor Eric Swalwell. Poor Jackie Speier.
