So, it seems the FBI is treating the British dossier seriously. Maybe weāll get to see the tapes after all.
Carter Page: Genius or idiot? ā Discuss.
Talking to law enforcement this much without an attorney?
Idiot!
Carter Page is a serial deflector and liar.
That was my big takeaway as well. Theyāre investigating the dossier which almost certainly means thereās validity to it.
The FBI interviewed Carter Page for ten hours and all they have to show for it several hundred pages of schizophrenic verbiage.
Actually, doubt that the FBI was willing to settle for āperhaps I might have maybe met someone not not there or perhaps I didnāt meet them some other placeā type answers.
Iām thinking the FBI wishes it had those ten hours back.
Agreed.
Re the dossier itself, I have a problem with calling it ālargely unverifiedā - in fact, the Guardian and other reputable media outlets have reported that many key allegations of the less salacious variety (read: unrelated to Russian pee hookers) have in fact checked out. And, it was compiled by a highly respected former senior British intelligence officer who led the Russian desk for MI-6. These seem like pertinent details and give important context.
The NYTās political reporters regularly gloss over this, and itās galling - but I expect better from TPM.
Good column overall though.
Just a guy who grew up a little smarter than the people around him and wrongly assumed from that he was smarter than everyone in the world. Seen it before. He thinks those dopey cops could never trip him up.
Malcolm Nance says he comes off as trained in counter intelligence techniques, to throw off his interrogators.
ETA - he wasnāt trained by the Americans, it goes without saying.
Thatās like a guy who takes karate lessons at the Y going up against a serious street fighter. Iām pretty sure the FBI guys are trained in counter-intelligence techniques too, since they counter intelligence people for a living. I wouldnāt bet on Page in this scuffle. He only has to make one mistake, tell one lie, and heās done. Going in there without a lawyer was not the smartest move he ever made.
He told the Post he did not bring a lawyer to his interviews with the FBI because he was not worried about unlawfully misrepresenting any information to agents.
Is that man mentally ill or delusional or what?
Pretty obvious heās an idiot.
I suspect he will soon be an indicted idiot and later a convicted idiot.
Either Carter Page is the buffoon/wannabe he appears or he is working for intelligence. That was my take before I heard what Malcolm Nance said about him. I lean towards him working for our intelligence since he didnāt take a lawyer to the meeting. Or he is the incredible stupid man, trying to make a name for himself. Could go either way.
On the other hand, it doesnāt matter what it is called in the press if the FBI is taking it seriously and using it as a guide for their investigation.
It better bring down Pence too.
I think Sessions will be gone too.
Iād bet the FBI is turning a Page as we speakā¦
Has anybody googled for You Tube videos, using āTrumpā and āGolden Showersā yet? I would, but Iām afraid Iād find somethingā¦
As impeachment is the only process to remove Trump, the only way it would happen is if Republicans are facing enough pressure to act.
We canāt have the press giving cover by giving Republicans a thread to pull on to undercut the verified details.
