CNN: In angry letter, Page discloses 'brief interactions' with Russian official

Carter and Flynn's guilt is almost a certainty at this point.
We just have to wait and see how high it actually goes.
Can't that be said for damn near everyone in the administration? They are obviously guilty and hilariously bad at covering it up. It is only the stonewalling of the GOP that keeps this from being blown wide open

Like it or not, many serious journalists continue to question the reporting on this Russia narrative.
Here's Matt Taibbi:

Here's Jeremy Scahill w/ Seymour Hersh:

Time to put Page in a cage.
Either that or hes purposely being vague to make it seem like hes more guilty than he is to trap the media into looking like fools. Thats the impression i get. Its almost like hes trying to give off the impression that hes guilty

Lol, yeah, the Trump administration is filled with 7th dimension chess players we should never forget
I feel like there's something special about Page, an almost childlike naivety. There's an interview floating around with an old college or military buddy of his that describes his general mental state in those terms. Sorry can't find it atm.
Like attracts like
Im the last person who would ever say Trump plays 3d chess, but we already know he was sending out fake trial balloon info to the press to make them look dumb if they reported on it and to make him look better when it wasnt that bad. Hardly 3d chess. Pretty much checkers. Im really just trying to wrap my head around how someone can go so far out of their way to look so guilty

It's funny. Whenever there is a minor scandal in sports, let's say a player is accused of cheating, pundits always say if you're innocent scream it from a mountaintop. That though resonates with me. I feel like if I were accused of something I didn't do I would make sure everyone knew it.
Apparently Carter didn't get the memo that it only works if you are actually innocent, because his decrying of the investigation just makes me more confident he is guilty.

So an article saying that Mench is crazy (she is) and an Intercept piece citing Hersh (who is also crazy). Cool.

Uh, we do? Since when has this been known? A lot of people speculated this was happening, but this was never a confirmed thing and most of the supposed fake information that Trump floated out ended up being true such as the rollback of LGBT rights and the religious freedom EO. All of the fake info that Trump pulls out sure as hell isn't floated, it's stuff he trumpets personally like the Obama wiretapping and election rigging stuff.
And the answer to why he's doing this is probably just as simple as the fact that he knows he's caught, and he's just floundering under the pressure.
Oh come on now, Bob nearly had a gun to his head.
"I've never talked to any Russians."
"Ok, maybe just once, but that was an isolated incident that had nothing to do with anything."
"I may have gotten a few phone calls from them, but they were meaningless."
"Well, this one time, a few times, we met for lunch."
"I had a Russian agent who lived in the apartment next to me, and I saw him every day, but we never talked."
Etc.

This quote is the one that makes me laugh the most:
Why are so many people so desperate to tie themselves to that sinking ship? The guy has been disgraced and we've heard Republicans saying it looks like he broke the law... and yet so many embroiled in this can't help but trip over themselves to defend him.

At least Baghdad Bob maintained an air of not being entirely incompetent in his messaging.

If I were to guess, there's probably a feeling that if Flynn goes down, it's going to be indication that there's targets on all of them and they could all go down, because almost all the people involved in this so far seem to more or less be involved in the same way from the information we currently have. It tells me, too, there was a lot more coordination to all of this behind the Trump administration.

Holy shit...these people are comic-book-level villains at this point.
It's still mostly intuition, but it really feels like the whole Rep party knew, at least seniors like McConnell, Pence etc

This interview is awful. If you don't want to watch the whole thing, watch the bit between 3:30-5:30 was just terrible how badly he was lying. You could just see the pain in his eyes as he tried to lie his way through the entire interview knowing no one would buy it.
The highlight of it is when he clarifies 'when I said I was in meetings. I meant in a Russian context which could also means rallies.' paraphrasing a little.
Flynn certainly seems kinda deer-in-the-headlights and might make you feel a little sorry for him, Page is taking this probably how i would. He knows he's going down but is determined to be as unpleasant as possible as he slides into the breach.
