testimony), it is hard to believe it was written by the same guy who testified and has appeared on numerous TV shows. My guess is it was written by his lawyers or someone other than him.

His television appearances are just a laugh riot of inconsistencies and nonsense. Whoever issued his degrees probably wish they could rescind them. He is a disgrace to any institution of higher education that he attended.

12. He has no lawyers. He's proud of not having lawyers.

He obviously wrote that hot mess himself, thinking he was writing like a lawyer. He's got all the jargon down but he doesn't quite know what it means. I've been reading the transcript, and it's apparent that Page is as mad as a box of frogs. He's weirdly paranoid, and he's just smart enough to know enough to get himself into trouble but not smart enough to realize how much trouble he's getting himself into. He filed a pro se defamation lawsuit against the parent company of Verizon, Yahoo and Radio Free Europe, and the complaint is more than 400 pages long and includes photos of Page and a bunch of tweets. No lawyer would ever do something like that. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/read-carter-page-defamation-suit-yahoo-russia-contacts-death-threats

The guy is batshit crazy.

attention was divided. The main problem in reading that letter was I had to keep rereading it. I kept thinking....is this guy for real? Does he sincerely believe all this tripe he (or someone on his behalf) is writing??

I will dive into the testimony because from what some have said, it is a doozy. I’ve seen a few of his appearances on All in With Chris Hayes and it is obvious the guy is a few sandwiches shy of a picnic. I want to see the transcripts from his college days. I went to college with and was taught by some oddball people, but none as wackadoodle as Carter Page.

he says he is the biggest embarrassment to the campaign. I disagree, that is Trump himself.
