#1 Equally disturbing is Stephanopoulos’ mendacious assertion that Page was “recruited by a Russian agent.” Of course Page was not “recruited.” He was only vetted for a possible recruitment attempt—and found to be not worth the effort.

Why do we assume the Russians cannot recognize a plant ?

It would indeed be a waste, all of that legend building, training and travel. Surely he can be used elsewhere.

#2 The Ingraham interview of Page a week or so ago made Page look like a well-educated but naïve and hinky.

Page became a tool, not of the Russians but by those here who were desperate to take down Trump. Page was used as a means to an end. It looks more and more like he did nothing other than have a profile that could be distorted and used for the purpose of obtaining a FISA warrant.

Trump was open, while campaigning, about the danger and threat he presented to the Deep State. The left did not expect HRC to lose. In fact, the Podesta emails indicated that Trump was the person who HRC and her associates most wanted HRC to run against--he was supposed to be the candidate who was the most easily beatable. The Dems made the mistake of believing their own bullshit; all their bought polls said she was going to win. When she lost, panic ensued and plans were activated to take down Trump. Some of these plans appear to still be ongoing and difficult to dismantle. Swamp dwellers are still screwing around. A few well-placed indictments of Swamp Dwellers and Shadow Government members might put a chill on their plans and activities. It's not like the evidence is not all around.

#3 Page was used as a means to an end. It looks more and more like he did nothing other than have a profile that could be distorted and used for the purpose of obtaining a FISA warrant.

The employment of Page was likely a two-stage operation:

1. Exploit Page's well documented Russian history and contacts to gain approval of the FISA warrant.
2. Exploit Page's access into a more urgent target, the Trump campaign.

#4 I have come to the conclusion that Carter Page was a deliberate plant in the Trump Administration. If the truth be known, he was recruited by the FBI to give them a door into the Trump Campaign.

There are no coincidences in the world. It is NOT a coincidence that Carter Page sent emails to various contacts in the Trump Campaign the day AFTER the FISA warrant was approved. The timing is too convenient to be a coincidence. Those emails allowed the FBI to throw their net over the Trump Campaign to spy.

Carter Page is playing the dunce. I will play the contrarian card. Those tapes calling Page an idiot, who said it and who got the recording. As invested as the FBI and CIA were in sabotaging Trump, I believe they could have manufactured a bunch of stuff to support their narrative. I believe Page has been coached and groomed to play the naïve useful idiot for the press.

#6 Notice how SUDDENLY the Russian collusion narrative and the Mueller "investigation" and the Shiff(less) democratic memo have disappeared from the media?

I've scoured the internet for the latest developments in this below the surface civil war and all I hear are crickets. Obviously, the media has decided to not cover the negative blow back on their false narrative.

OR...are the Klingons merely regrouping and plotting their next attempt to discredit Trump? Or is the Stormy Daniels thing their last good shot before calling it a day?

Is the kitchen getting too hot and are they all running for cover now that we know the media was signed sealed and delivered, with money no less, to support his crap...and Sid Blumenthal of all people? Really? Who could honestly trust anything that Slimy Sid says??? They used it as "intelligence?" And they used Cody Shearer???
Talk about acceleration of commitment to a failing endeavor.

I've been saying this for weeks.

#8 Last week, I was trying to answer the question:
"Who is Carter Page?" Haven't yet read Pages's testimony. It's possible Page was groomed and a plant. I also checked with a guy very high up in Merrill Lynch during the time 7 years Page was reported to be there. He did not know him. I wonder if Carter Page was blackmailable?
