I kept asking myself why Carter Page keeps talking.

I mean, he’s right in the middle of this. It would be insane to go all over tv running your mouth.

Unless you’re Carter Page, who never answers a question and can talk for two minutes without saying a damn thing.

Apparently he spent five hours before the House committee. They probably only covered two questions, both of which had to be asked 175 different ways until Page said something vaguely coherent.

Chris Hayes tried. I’ll give him that.

But that’s the last time I watch Carter Page. Just absolutely worthless.

He doesn’t help himself, but I’m not sure he’s hurting himself either. Who knows.

That either takes a lot of balls or complete idiocy.

The more he rants, the more likely he is to reveal more indictable actions.

He's on a roll...we shouldn't be doing anything that makes him think that he's digging a deeper hole. Give him totally free reign to get in as deep as possible, and exposing as many others as possible.

He is all the mannerisms of an actual insane person. Bugging out eyes, salivating, sweating. He is also ‘crazy’ for talking in public.

even with coke, he still is only a couple points above Trump's IQ.

Tomorrow Trump will deny knowing him.

Other than that, he did not say much on "All in with Chris Hayes" tonight on MSNBC.

But overall he seems like a dumbass. About a Trump advisers speed.

but pretty hilarious, too. He is the only person I have ever heard use the words might, maybe and possibly all in the same sentence. I laughed my head off when I heard him try to explain if he was in Cleveland or not. He was covered in flop sweat, bald head glistening under the tv lights. His eyes were bulged out on stems and he had a weird grin on his face, interspersed with inappropriate giggling. I can’t imagine how a guy like that managed to earn a PhD but then maybe he did, given some of the PhDs I’ve known. Odd ducks doesn’t quite cover it. 😂😂😂

I am curious what’s gonna happen with Page given his strange behavior when his name first surfaced as someone involved in the intrigue. Someone needs to tell this dude to decline all interviews and for heaven’s sake don’t give any statements to the press.

It does not really matter what he says or did not say, in a court case, he will be judged on what he did.
