'Carter Page is chump change': Ex-CIA officer claims feds are focusing on White House higher-ups

Apppearing on the on-line only “Overtime” segment of HBO’s Real Time, ex-CIA officer Philip Mudd said that while the media is focusing on ex-Trump advisor Carter Page, it is likely that federal investigators are working on “flipping” other Trump transition officials to testify against their bosses.

“What do you think will come of the investigation into Trump campaign adviser Cater Page and his ties to Russia, and I might add Michael Flynn,” host Bill Maher asked Mudd.

“Look, the reason Carter Page is being featured is because he’s prominent in the press, not because he’s the most prominent target of the FBI,” Mudd remarked. “I think there will eventually be an indictment. Somebody going to be indicted, I don’t know if it’s going to be Carter Page — I think he’s chump change, I think it’s someone higher up.”

Asked to elaborate, Mudd explained that, based on what the FBI has heard from their “intercepts” of Trump transition officials talking with Russian officials, they will use that evidence to get those officials to “flip” and spill what they know in order to avoid being indicted on federal charges.

The hacking of our government and the interference by Komrade Komey was basis for the election results.

She still would have won if it hadn't been for Comey and there is no way to prove he held that back until the election. The bullshit excuse of the FBI looking into the Chump's campaign is crap, he could have released all sorts of little treasures if he wanted to.

The French are smarter than we are, so Macron will be elected.
