This comes as no surprise.

Even money that he unwittingly implicated several people—because he just can’t keep his piehole closed.

Exactly. My first reaction to this line…

Mueller’s team has kept a tight lid on leaks, and news of individuals’ appearances before a grand jury being used for his investigation is rare.

… was that we’re dealing with Chatty Cathy, here.

ETA: Good nickname: Chatty Carter.

And I’m sure Mueller was perfectly satisfied with Page’s typically precise statements. To paraphrase, “Well, that might have come up in passing, but it was nothing important.”

Is this guy just one umbrella-poke away from out of here?

I agree. He will readily sing. But how much does he actually know?

Guessing a lot per modus operandi of the outreach and attempts. Aside from the change in the party plank around Ukraine, probably not much. But that point seems pretty central.

Trump must be unhinged… er, more unhinged.

“He will readily sing.” I hear Mueller’s a big Bob Seeger fan and has just the song for him to do–Turn the Page.

Also he didn’t bring a lawyer but a Russian street mime he met on his way to the court house.

As chatty as this dude is, I’m sure he unveiled what he knew of the contacts between Russia and Trump’s campaign.

So whose show will he suddenly appear on the Sunday morning news circuit, tomorrow?

It actually starts to make sense to me. Page, acting as his own attorney, thinks that because he testified before a Grand Jury, he can’t be indicted. “I am not a target! I am a witness!!”

More than anyone in the Trump campaign should be comfortable with. Maybe not where the smoking guns are buried, but probably how they all got to be smoking.

Has to be a Chris Wallace get. Nobody has that existential revulsion, can’t believe I’m stooping to this thing down better!

I think we’re about fourteen-and-a-half minutes into Page’s fifteen minutes of fame. Time for Mueller to use the hook.

Normally I would agree that is THE question, but no doubt he is having trouble finding booking next to Brazille.

And we all know that “Dems in Disarray” beats out “Republicans being Indicted” with our national media.

If only there were someone with firsthand knowledge of his testimony who could give us a report… someone without fear, without a lawyer, with an easy smile but a nervous laugh—someone who may have a man-crush on Chris Hayes, judging from his bookings.

Probably more than his ditzy manner suggests.

All thanks to Trump running a scampaign, thus relying on roughly 60-80 people for everything.
