Despite that, Page says "there was a witch hunt" against Trump. Aired on 12/11/19.

Fmr. Trump campaign Adviser Carter Page Wants More Investigation Into Russia Probe's Origins | MSNBC
He can pay for it.
Is Page is on something?
Shouldn’t he have a condom over his head.?
are you
He looked a little out of it if you ask me
Why Ari WHY?!?!?! 🙄🤔
I ask myself the question
Why what?
@Holly Hocks Why does he give this psychopath air time?
Ratings!!!! and we have to be fair and give the crazies some air time.
Page is full of crap same as Barr and Trump, all liars!
@Jeffrey Meade put down the pipe Jeffrey!
Keep on wishing, you have 5 years of this to endure, this isnt going to stop until these people are jailed.
@John Dozier I put my pipe in your wife. You people are incredibly stupid. You don’t see any problems do you? Oh but you will soon enough!
@Rich Gilbertson The report stated that one of the lawyers altered a document so as to be able to defraud the FISA court and obtain those warrants.
IG Horowitz said it wasn’t spying, it was illegal surveillance.
Key word there is “illegal”.
He (the IG) aslo stated that the only reason he judged as “no bias” is because he (the IG) doesn’t know what these people’s motivations were when they committed these acts.
Tell Carter Page to take his demand for another sham investigation and shove it up his deep state.
@Shawn Corbin Republican’s the deep state – and now that Trump no longer likes dissenting Republicans, it’s on to the next investigative work! and after that we’ll investigate Durham’s report. LOL
My dear Shawn, we all know how corrupt Trump is.
Lol yea they lied to the court probably at Obama’s orders
He should be careful what he wishes for, it could lead to a more charges.🤔
@Tessmage Tessera Exactly, and is why he so desperately wants to get reelected. He never wanted the job to start with because he knew it would shine a bright light.
Yep, Charges are coming. I hear Loretta Lynch swore that she never signed off on any of these fake fisa’s.

I would hope so. But hope for justice someday is sadly becoming our most used and valuable commodity in the real world. As opposed to the feeling of assurance that we used to feel automatically when we witnessed people in power openly lying, committing crimes, or undermining democracy, that smoking gun evidence against them would mean justice will follow.
Now we have to HOPE that justice will come to them, for the well being of everything and everyone else.
No one could have guessed that this nightmare was even possible in America.
My faith is dwindling as I watch people get away with stuff over and over again!
How do you manage to keep your faith? I could use some pointers from you.
Susan Merriman what charges?
Carter Page was never charged with any crimes.
He never committed any crimes.
The lawyer at the FBI that changed a document about him that stated he was working with CIA to read that that he wasn’t working with them so as to be able to defraud the FISA court and garner an unlawful warrant to spy- oops, I mean “illegally surveil”- him, on the other hand, did commit multiple crimes and is facing some serious time.
400+ pages is narrow in scope??? no, what he means is “this didn’t give us the results we wanted so we’ll be looking for someone who will”. they’re crying about bias when none was found. they *feel* like there was, a lot of *feelings.*
you head is buried in the sand it seems the fbi broke rules laws and says so in the report ig can not call grand juries or prosecute crimes but durham is like mueller he can
The narrow scope refers to findings within DOJ & FBI by a Obama appointed IG.. Broader scope will be leads & information from Mifsud, Steele, Nellie Ohr, fusion GPS ,Hillary & the DNC funding, Italy , Australia along with other countries. Things are only getting started, Spring OF 2020 Durham will bring Justice back MAGA .. Trump 2020/2024 KAG!!
@High Laughter Oh, he was an Obama I.G., that explains everything… Like that he was competent and not corrupt like the tRump appointees…
The FBI should look at Page again. Page wasn’t cleared by Mueller. Mueller just didn’t have time.
@Jefryt 67 Mueller also did not clear Trump.. F##k Barr – disbarr the toad!
@Jefryt 67 Trump will be impeached. Get over it!
stupid read the report mueller had yrs and 15 demmy attorneys
The whole point of this exercize by the GOP and FOX is to destroy the core agency that catches Russian spies operating within our borders: The FBI
Sadly, they’ve acheived great success
So why don’t the Republicans pass legislation to protect elections?
Yellow Flash sure moron. You mean like the voter fraud perpetrated by the GOP during the last two elections? You mean like the fraudulent gerrymandering that the republicans have just been forced to change by the courts. Do you mean the voter fraud that the fraud of a president set a committee up to study. Then after two years and millions of dollars, with no results, they closed down the committee. More boneheaded trump derangement syndrome from his brain dead followers.
@Ray Khan even as a supporter, I half agree with you.
Because they need help getting elected, and they don’t want to get caught cheating themselves…
@John Keith yea because the republicans want no voter ID, millions of immigrants needing assistance for votes, jerry mandering districts, and doing away with the electoral college
What a tool!
He has that same “lights on, but no one home” look the rest of the Republican party has.
For his sake, i hope he’s a double agent. He’s sure got the story line down. Right, Comrade? Sorry, just ready don’t trust that guy.
Loser. This guy did nothing wrong. He was used by CIA and FBI as a backdoor to spy on trump campaign. An insurance policy as strozk called it.
Sorry you cant handle the false narrative MSNBC fed you for years is wrong. Bottom line. They lied us into iraq and same intelligence agencies wanted clinton because wasting money policing the world needs a boogie man. If you are afraid of Russia you are a coward
@Franky B Close.
Carter Page was a CIA informant, which is why he was talking with a Russian.
Be would then be debriefed by the CIA on what he had learned.
Because he was also a volunteer on the Trump campaign, the FBI used his contact with that Russian to get a warrant to spy- oops, sorry- illegally surveil him and, by extension, the Trump campaign.
They, the FBI, even went so far as to change an email that the CIA had sent the FBI stating he was a source of theirs to state he wasn’t so as to be able to get a FISA warrant on him.
@Franky B
Pretty much the opposite of the ig’s conclusion.
The qustionabilty of carters warrant is just that,
Investigating him was correct.
Intel on iraq was spot on,
And completely misrepresented by the bush administration.
To paraphrase the intel.
” These aluminum tubes could be used as missile fuselages”
Redacted by bush admin,
“Or not”
Almost all that was unredacted read like this.
Lots of hearings concerning it.
Pundits are not informing you.
What does he want to do that for? To prove how Trump is even more guilty than he already has been proven to be! Trump has failed enough!
Yea.. and just like that we are giving carter page advice…
The GRU would like more investigations too: they need to know why they got spotted so soon.
I’m sure tRump has already briefed them…
So we’re all going to overlook the part that clearly states how the predicates that led to opening this investigation were justified??? White privilege.
Andrew Smith even if the opening of the investigation was legally predicated that doesn’t excuse the lying, misleading and defrauding of the FISA court that occurred.
Documents were alerted, facts were left out and IG Horowitz’s own words are “illegal surveillance”.
Those are the big take aways.
@John Patrick How a detective arrives at the scene of the crime, doesn’t take away from the crime. Missteps in investigations resulting in criminals getting away with crimes, is so typical of white collar criminals. You won’t get any arguments from me about law enforcement being condemned for mishandling an investigation. But Republicans are spinning in an attempt to distract. That’s it. They could very well lead a fair, and impartial investigation that results in wrongdoings being uncovered on both sides. But that has never been their intention. All theyve ever done is draw at straws.
@John Patrick and where do you get him saying that there was illegal surveillance? You mean legal surveillance, but obtained through poorly ill-gotten means?
@Andrew Smith Directly from his own mouth while being questioned by Lindsey Graham.
Graham called it spying and he (Horowitz) said “it wasn’t spying it was illegal surveillance.”.
Direct quote.
@John Patrick I’ll give it another listen.
haaaaaa he says I want more investigations yeah right
Only the warrant information was off.The evidence that convicted him remains
was he charged with anything?
Just like roger stone who said he did nothing wrong too, right? Weak! 😆😆
Page seems to be whistling quite a different tune these days.
Can Carter Page ever make a TV appearance without looking like an escaped psychopath?
*_STOP GIVING CRIMINALS AND RUSSIAN AGENTS AIR TIME._*
Do you even pay attention to anything?
E L he’s actually a CIA source, not a Russian agent and has never been charged with a crime.
Do you fail at everything in life, or just political commentary online?
