Carter Page's Book Shows How The Left Will Ruin Patriots To Get Power
[The Federalist] The media contacts began in July 2016. First, it was the Wall Street Journal. The Washington Post, New York Times, Politico, and CNN soon followed. The questions posed — all similar — perplexed Carter Page.

No, he hadn’t met with Igor Sechin or Igor Divyekin while in Russia. No, Page hadn’t suggested the new administration would lift sanctions if then-candidate Donald Trump won the presidency.

It was not until years later that Page, who had served as a volunteer advisor on the Trump campaign, began to unravel the truth about these calls. In his recently released book, "Abuse and Power: How an Innocent American was Framed in an Attempted Coup Against the President," Page shares his saga with readers. In an interview last week with the author, Page punctuated the finer points of the plot against Trump that ensnared him.

"I reminded Schiff and the Democrats," Page continued, "that a month after the election, it was Swiss company Glencore that bought that stake in 2016. Glencore, I further reminded Schiff and the Democrats, was founded by the late Marc Rich, the uber Clinton donor and beneficiary of an unusual pardon while an international fugitive." Democrats "might want to take a look closer to home," Page concluded.
Hat tip to whomever posted that very appropriate graphic.

#3 Page explained. At the time, Page welcomed Halper’s friendship. Even though Page had been warned “by a man from a research firm with deep ties to the intelligence agencies” that he was “being set up” by “the Clinton campaign . . . [and] London-based investigators,” Page did not begin to suspect Halper until mid-December 2017.

Carter Page, a top tier USNA grad, former USN intelligence officer and FBI/CIA source-stringer had no idea he's being recruited (ensnared) as a political campaign operative. Page was shocked, shocked to discover his handlers had no interest in Democratic campaign misdeeds.

'Shocking' also is the inconvenient truth that the FBI dropped all FISA interest in Page following his exit from the Trump Campaign Team.

I believe someone here predicted months ago that Page would be writing a book (cover story). Well, here it is.

#4 You're welcome, B - I posted the graphic. But I thought what happened to Page stank. Are you suggesting he's the stinker, and he went along with the Dems?
