Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski approved foreign policy adviser Carter Page’s now-infamous trip to Moscow last summer on the condition that he would not be an official representative of the campaign, according to a former campaign adviser.

A few weeks before he traveled to Moscow to give a July 7 speech, Page asked J.D. Gordon, his supervisor on the campaign’s National Security Advisory Committee, for permission to make the trip, and Gordon strongly advised against it, Gordon, a retired Naval officer, told POLITICO.

1. Didn't they also pay for one of Sessions visits with the ambassador?

4. So the Campaign that has never heard of "Carter Page" sent him to Moscow.

5. He was an advisor, not sure why they wouldn't hear of him.

3. Gordon will sing

That guy has a machete cutting ties to what went down.

It may not be a secret that Page went, but I didn't know it was approved by the campaign.

6. I'm confused.

so, if he's not connected to the campaign, why would they be approving or paying for anything? conversely, it would seem that if they are approving and paying for the trip they cannot reasonably claim he was not an official representative of the campaign.

9. Exactly, tomp!

Welcome to the twilight zone.

10. But, but, but.... I thought the Team Trump didn't know anything about a Carter Page.

These Lying Liars...

I hate them.

14. Supposedly they picked him out of the blue at a time they couldn't get anyone sane. As things

turned out he never really joined in on the Trump team - logistics, schedules, whatever prevented it.

You KNOW that all these people mentioned are probably really poo-pooing in their pants. You would go down in infamy as someone who helped orchestrate involvement by a foreign adversary in a US election.

11. Wasn't Carter Page helping to negotiate the big oil deal in northern Russia?

And Trump was due to get a big percentage of the haul?

Isn't that why he hired Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State? Doesn't Tillerson work for Trump rather than our country?

12. So I am wondering...

how much does the average fox news viewer know about any of this information...it used to be back in the day on DU that we had a constant stream of what was happening over there. Now we are in the dark, well I am because I can hardly bear to listen to any of the "news" shows. I bet they think all is just rosy here in america now that the shit-stain-in-chief is in charge.

Will any of these revelations ever make a D I F F E R E N C E ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. Nope, sadly. They only hear what the spin machine wants them to. Can't recall what it was - but

huge anti-trump news story and I turned to Fox - NADA

That's why we need to think outside the box and somehow infiltrate that audience. Geez, they are like a cult.

16. thanks.......

you are a brave dem!

13. As a bag man no doubt.

If only someone could hack into all those Cayman accounts - particularly those run by this little bastard:

17. The Dossier claims meetings Page made in Moscow in July, which w/could match up

with this trip and his speech.
