President Donald Trump on Wednesday accused Democrats of resisting testimony from Carter Page, his former campaign adviser, because he blows away allegations they have made.
Page told the top Republican and Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee last Tuesday that he would testify as part of their probe into Russias meddling in the 2016 presidential election. But Trump now claims the minority has changed its mind about hearing from Page.
Trump alluded to uncited reports in claiming the Democrats, who have excoriated Carter Page about Russia, dont want him to testify.
Rep. Adam B. Schiff of California, the top Democrat on the House Select Intelligence Committee, has not responded to a Roll Call inquiry about whether Page will testify. On Tuesday, Page said that he learned from Schiffs committee that he might not be immediately afforded the opportunity to address the committee.

(8,678 posts)I remember statements from WH and republican45 that they really didn't know or have anything to do with Page. Now he is defending him by name. Which is it??

(24,683 posts)why don't you come and speak at a hearing, put this entire matter to rest?
And while your at it, bring your tax returns, just for giggles?
In fact you can bring along the other "confederate dunces" of Treason, Page, Manafort, Flynn, Pence, Kusher, Spicer, Cohen, Ivanka, CONway, Sessions, Price, Mulvaney, Devos, Tillerson, and my all time favorite Wilbur Ross (Cyprus Bank) and others to the hearing to give there information of events.
And just a reminder the FBI is trying to extradite the hacker, now in Spain, and it looks like he is coming here first, remember that.
Because somewhere, somehow, they are all involved, it's a gimme

(860 posts)Sounds like between the "says who" guy and the apparent lack of interest in getting daily briefings by t-rump could be the true methodology, plausible deniability behind everything t-rump has done to this point.
