as a doofus, with his stupid grins and rambling answers, and floppy hats. Just a big old nut. Which tells me he's anything but that. This is his cover; like the NY gangster, who walked all over the place in his bathrobe to appear crazy. Page is an integral part of this whole mess, and he's not stupid or crazy. But he sure has been able to keep his profile low until now, hasn't he?

Fri Nov 3, 2017, 09:39 PM
Nov 2017

House Intelligence committee had obtained an email that Carter Page sent to Trump Campaign about having met with Russian officials and Adam Schiff read it to him during his testimony, causing him to change his testimony and admit to meeting govt officials. Adam Schiff was the one interviewing him obtaining his admission.

to Russian officials, in order to clinch the quid pro quo to get Russian help. Interesting that Adam Schiff said this week collusion had been established, and Mueller is nailing down exact links proving conspiracy

Like she said... She also claims that WAPO & CNN have that tape but are holding releasing it until Mueller says so...

Not claiming she's correct but let's see what comes of this...

I know he went to work for that conservative media startup Sinclair-but he looks so guilty-haha

He was probably just a Russian Coffee boy hired to comply with federal employment diversity goals

There will be many like in an domino effect. Soon, if not now, t-rump will not have too many "friends".

Mercer comes in play. Still, they have the money, ie Sinclair fake news ummmmmm like fake news on that cable channel. Still have the Russians and of course anti-Dems. But alas, I think the USA will survive and Democracy, well most of it, will be ok.

That this is OUR under cover guy? Yeah, we know something isn't right with him but if I didn't know better it's almost like he knows he has protection. Even Trumps worker bees don't act like this guy.

Left me with the impression the guy is a grifter. Always hanging at the edges of elite. trump gave him the leverage that he needed to get to the oligarchs. He and Papadopoulos were meant to be scape goats. They might have taken the fall, if trump had proved loyal. Instead they were hung out to dry so they are talking and wire tapping.

One just testified before a Congressional committee without a lawyer, two are confined to their homes, and one has already pleaded guilty and is cooperating with authorities. And that's just the beginning!
