OMG I am going to love it if Trump is brought down by that dimwit Carter Page.

1. Sound like page is the squealer.

I heard that Manafort and Flynn don't have any new information that Mueller wants so no plea deal is possible for them. They are going down for holding out.

[LisaM]

2. That's Dimwit Carter Page, PhD to you!

LOL.

[GReedDiamond]

4. Otherwise known as Doctor Dimwit...nt

[LisaM]

21. Yes!

Good one.

26. Or, more informally, Jar Jar

[NastyRiffraff]

22. He's proof that any imbecile can get a PhD

I wonder how the House Intel Committee could hold back their guffaws.

[Cicada]

3. How does Page hurt Trump?

Trump voters would applaud Russia interfering to defeat Hillary.

Trump wants Muslims and other minorities to go to hell. That is why so many white people voted for Trump. What was his campaign? Build the wall, stop the rapists and murderers from coming here. End of story.

[whathehell]

5. by giving evidence of crimes?

Mueller's investigation isn't about "what Trump voters want".

If it finds Trump obstructed justice or committed other crimes, he's over. That's the end of the story.

[Cicada]

9. Evidence of crime doesnt hurt Trump

There was evidence Clinton obstructed justice in the Monica Lewinsky case. That didn’t cause me to stop supporting him. So too Trump supporters will not care if Mueller says Trump obstructed justice or colluded with Russia. And Trump will not be convicted. Just one pro trump juror needs to say not guilty.

Now maybe these problems will combine with others to cause fewer people in Pa, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida to vote Trump in 2020. That is the only thing that matters. Trump in jail or not only concerns one person. A Repub or Dem president concerns the lives of tens of millions.

[whathehell]

12. You don't seem to understand that this isn't about an election..

It's about the force if LAW...If a president is found guilty of."high crimes and misdemeanors" he gets IMPEACHED and very likely convicted -- This is a matter concerning espionage and felonious acts -- It's on a completely different level, one FAR more serious than lying about an affair.

[Cicada]

14. He will not be found guilty

It is hardly clear that colluding with Russia is a crime. Some jurisprudes say yes, some say no. But if Trump goes to trial there is very likely going to be at least one Trump cultist on thjury who says not guilty. And the Republicans are no more likely to impeach Trump than they are to admit Global Warming is dangerous instead of a wonderful blessing.

So forget the rule of law being defended here. That ain’t gonna happen. But what can happen, with luck, is that we can return the federal govt to the hands of relative righteousness. And that should be our realistic goal and hope.

[whathehell]

17. You're free to think that..

but please forgive me if I don't just take your word for it, lol I think
that if he did not, like Nixon, resign first, he would be convicted.

I was around for Watergate, so along with some other things, I think my political acumen may be a bit more "honed".than yours.

Have a nice day.

[Cicada]

19. As Alan Simpson said I remember where I was during the Saturday night massacre

Republicans felt that supporting Nixon would hurt them. Republicans today know because of Jeff Flake and others that attacking Trump is political suicide. The politics today are completely different. And Republicans after Newt have become far more craven. Now being craven is the only way they can win elections.

And back then we had a shared reality. We had 3 networks and NPR telling us things, facts, which almost all of us agreed were true. Now when people are asked - who do you believe, Trump or your lying eyes - many pick Trump.

It’s a different political world.

[whathehell]

25. As I said..

You are entitled to your opinion, but I do not share it

Have a nice day.

[Cicada]

28. The election last night ups odds youre right

I sure hope you’re right and l’m wrong. And last gives me some hope that you’re smarter than I am.

[NewJeffCT]

27. Republicans were pro Nixon until the Saturday Night Massacre

they supported him through the early stages of Watergate. The bigger difference now is that Republicans control the House and Senate. Back in 1973 and 1974, Democrats had bigger margins than Republicans do now.

[BootinUp]

20. Impeachment is a political process, not a

Legal one.

[whathehell]

24. It is Constitutional...

and very much not an election.

8. I don't think Mueller particularlly cares what trump voters think. Neither does the law.

Not-quite-the-sharpest-knife-in-the-drawer Page has openly incriminated himself in admitting in interviews that he met and conspired/colluded with Russian government officials while working for the trump campaign, and even emailed others about his efforts.

[Cicada]

10. Page is just one person, not many care about him

All that matters is whether all this drives enough voters away from Trump so a Democrat becomes President.

[brush]

11. Not quite. Page matters because he's a small fish who might lead to bigger fish being caught...

Mueller is moving up the ladder. Page is one wrung on it.

More voters for us is good but I want these traitors jailed.

[DeminPennswoods]

18. Page is also possibly a Russian agent

Remember he was being investigated for being a Russian spy before he even joined the Trump campaign.

[woundedkarma]

6. cia

I think Carter Page is CIA :>

He has way too much knowledge. Has led them directly to mass failure although they were all pushing there as hard as possible. He just spouts it off, no need for a lawyer.

If not CIA...

Well, there is just something very very wrong about him.

[Laffy Kat]

7. What is it about that perpetual smile on Page's face?

It's creepy and weird. It could explain everything.
