The House Intelligence Committee announced that Page will appear next Thursday for an “open hearing in a closed space.”
So, in a building, as opposed to a field of corn or something?Will he be under oath? Or will the Republiscums skip this important step?
We want to know!
Does anyone else find it humorous that someone so completely unintelligent will be testifying before the Intelligence Committee?
Such committees have people like Louie Gohmert posing the questions. I’m unsure which constitutes the larger farce.
…and the Committee’s search for intelligence continues…
Shouldn’t the headline read: Former Trump Aide Carter Page Will Finally Lie Before Congress?
Relatedly.
Wasn’t Michele Bachman on the HIC? Proves your point
Annnd, Kyle posted this just to remind us,
This is so depressing. I held out hope that our Constitution and our system of checks and balances would prevail. Now, I just don’t know.
Surprised that TPM has no articles up on the two Kaboom pieces from NYT and WSJ regarding the agenda prepared by the Kremlin and funneled through Yuri Chaika (Russia’s public prosecutor (AG equivalent)) to both Rohrabacher and Veselnitskaya, and the revelation that the Mercers were emailing each other trying to figure out ways to index and make optimal use of stolen DNC emails on Wikileaks (well after it was known that the material was stolen).
On the Veselnitskaya angle - it’s clear that Rob Goldstone’s email which laid out the agenda for the 6/9/16 meeting at Trump Tower is accurate. Goldstone referenced Yuri Chaika as the source or promoter of this meeting and worked through the Agalarovs and Goldstone to get to Junio. The Russians intended to set up that meeting with the purpose of providing campaign help to Trump. She also brought Russia’s wish list of things they wanted in return. That same, identical agenda was submitted to Rohrabacher and was sourced to Chaika’s office.
On the Mercer angle -this is the second big article which demonstrated their desire to use Cambridge Analytica’s solutions as a way to mass promote stolen material through Wikileaks. This puts the Trump campaign as active solicitors of stolen property and foreign help for campaign use. This is the 4th thread connecting Trump to Wikileaks. Big deals.
Perhaps Page will be distracted by a visit from federal law enforcement officials Monday morning? Can’t wait to see who is the subject of the first Mueller indictment. I bet it won’t be the last…
he certainly has had plenty of time to be well prepped. then, again, he is a total fuckup.
Page is a prime candidate for flipping by Mueller.
Give him one slap to get him talking; two slaps to shut him up!
Now I see why he wears a hat.
Even the author of that piece is snarky about what they’re trying to say - so far I think things are definitely holding steady if not riding a fair wind.
This eliminates one person from the list of possible indictees.
It’s a crime, anyway, to lie to congress. Oath or no.
Don’t give up hope.
