Carter Page-Trump campaign adviser-testifies he met with Russian government officials in July 2016.

[oreo]

Carter Page finally makes the news. He's been a person of interest since the onset of this investigation. Serving as one of Trump's campaign adviser's. He took a trip to Moscow in July of 2016--and has stated repeatedly, that it was just to give a speech at a University there. Today we learn under direct testimony--and an email that Carter Page sent to high level Trump campaign officials, that he did indeed meet with Russian government officials, in that July 2016 trip to Moscow.

"WASHINGTON — Carter Page, a foreign policy adviser to the Trump presidential campaign, met Russian government officials during a July 2016 trip he took to Moscow, according to testimony he gave on Thursday to the House Intelligence Committee.
Shortly after the trip, Mr. Page sent an email to at least one Trump campaign aide describing insights he had after conversations with government officials, legislators and business executives during his time in Moscow, according to one person familiar with the contents of the message. The email was read aloud during the closed-door testimony.
The new details of the trip present a different picture than the account Mr. Page has given during numerous appearances in the news media in recent months and are yet another example of a Trump adviser meeting with Russians officials during the 2016 campaign. In multiple interviews with The New York Times, he had either denied meeting with any Russian government officials during the July 2016 visit or sidestepped the question, saying he met with “mostly scholars.”

Trump and his side-kicks continual denials of knowing anything is getting very old. Yesterday we learned that Jeff Sessions lied under oath 3 times in congressional hearings regarding his cough-cough lack of memory on anything, and today it's Carter Page.

The number of denials now have now surpassed 17 denials--that were parroted through out this administration with Trump leading the pack with his repeated statements that no one on his campaign team nor any of his surrogates had any contact with any Russians during the campaign season.

So what.

Well, he met with them. And? Unless he is selling them uranium or something, all governments have meetings of one kind or another.

Who wanted the meeting? Under what premise?

What if he, Trump or Clinton met with British or Canadian officials? Or received large donations from the government of Norway and/or Australia (as Clinton did). What then?

Now, if the headline specified what the meeting was about, who sent him, what he was hoping to gain that would be different. As it were, I want all the riff raff wherever they reside on either party to be cleaned up. This cannot just be a sore losers campaign against the duly elected president. How will this look to the world if this is the objective? The West needs a strong American democracy if liberty is to endure.

If America is serious about reviving it's political system, starting with a balanced approach to justice would be a great start.

(D)-baggers still think it’s illegal to speak or talk to any Russians.

I dated a Russian chick once, do I need to report it to the Feds?

 

[Dale Smith]

So what.

Because ya see Page was there to make a deal with Rooskie hackers because no hackers could be found within the United States to hack the DNC server to prove that the DNC was trying to steal the election and was rife with corruption and the mani grifter was the Hildebeast, ya see!!??!?!?!?!?

Without lies, the leftard clown posse would have no reason to post here.
