The House Intelligence Committee on Monday night released the full, unclassified transcript that former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page’s provided in closed-door testimony last week.

This release was specifically requested by Page, who spent months going back and forth with lawmakers over the terms of his testimony and which requested documents he would agree to produce. The former Trump foreign policy aide met with the Senate Intelligence Committee last week as well, and sat for some 10 hours of interviews with the FBI about his contacts with Russia in multiple interviews this spring.

Page has consistently dismissed investigations into that country’s interference in the U.S. presidential election, referring to them as a “witch hunt.”

The full 243-page document is below.

    I don’t know what to think of this guy…

  2. That you’re thinking of him is all he wants and needs.

  3. Hoo-boy. Bat. Shit. Crazy. If you’re still in doubt, check out the letter Page sent (included in the document). I couldn’t get far - guy’s got more shit than a sewer - but I recommend you check out the table on page 9, where he helpfully itemized, one naughty row at a time, all of the dirty tricks crooked H and the Kenyan prez got up to in order to steal the 2016 election. This includes assassination, which his evidence for is “threats against his life following Clinton campaign fake enews and commentary” . Leaving aside whether or not whatever he was talking about was fake news, I kinda thought you had to, ya know, assassinate someone to, ya know, assassinate them. Page appears to still be drawing breath, though (and using every bit to dig himself a deeper hole).

    As far as I can tell, the remaining 200 plus pages of Page are more of the same, except when someone else is talking.

  4. “The Clinton/Obama Regime?”

    The fucking guy goes by “Carter Page, PhD?”

    Where the fuck did Jefferson Beauregard find this nut job? I bet you he ends up in jail. Kind of a creepier flakier modern day variant of G. Gordon Liddy.

  5. Carter Page, Ph.D. is the incarnation of the phrase “Useful Idiot”.
