WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A former Trump campaign aide at the center of a controversial Republican memo released on Friday said he would take further legal steps now that House Republicans made the four-page secret document public.
Now that a few of the misdeeds against the Trump Movement have been partially revealed, I look forward to updating my pending legal action in opposition to DOJ this weekend, Carter Page said in an emailed statement. Page has sued the owner of Yahoo News and the U.S. government operator of Radio Free Europe.

(19,201 posts)That's the key word there, Carter, you jackass. When you cherry-pick data you never reveal the entire story, and when that entire story is reveled, you shall be weighed, measured, and be found wanting. Your ass is grass, Page.
You may have had a chance to cut a deal with Mueller before this, but that chance is now most likely over. You can thank your pal Trump for everything that's happening to you from here on out. These people are just too damned stupid to be in ANY government.

(2,050 posts)Who the intelligence community has been looking at since 2013 and has continuing FISA court awarded surveillance due to the fact that he keeps doing things that justify it?.
I've seen footage of him talking about his contacts with the russkies, he comes across as oblivious to reality.
Is he going to sue to get his brain back?, it's obvious it's no longer in contact with his mouth.
The mere fact that dumpf announced him as one of his top advisors at one time is mind boggling.
"I only hire the best people"
Even though what's happening is no laughing matter this brain donor is laughable beyond belief.

(15,286 posts)I recall back in the day of Mob busting, Vincent Gigante, the big capo, used to go out dressed in pajamas, bathrobe and slippers pretending to be a crazy old man all while running the NY crime families.
Think about it. What better way to be dismissed as irrelevent than to act as a goofball? On Melber's show, Bill Kristol raised an interesting question. What if the end game isn't to discredit the FISA warrant to give cover to fire Rosenstein, but to discredit it because the surveillance of Page yielded confirmation of conspiracy between Trump/campaign/Russia? This FISA warrant was issued a total of 4 times, initial plus 3 renewals. That's a year's worth of surveillance, assuming a 90 day warrant time limit each.

And FISA judges aren't pushovers bought for a simple story--they require evidence to renew a warrant.

(2,050 posts)I look at it as overconfidence or that he's just oblivious to the jeopardy he faces, he always has this big smirk/grin when the cameras are on him and that makes me wonder why?.
I call him an idiot for how he comes across and not his actual intelligence, there's a reason for that smile, I think he's in way over his head not in the sense of how he got to where he is but the consequences around the corner.
He just doesn't seem to realize that he's the throwaway asset in this thing, just another pawn who hasn't figured it out yet.
Big mistake.
