Former Trump campaign staffer Carter Page emailed TPM his statement on the disputed Nunes memo, released on Friday:
‘The brave and assiduous oversight by Congressional leaders in discovering this unprecedented abuse of process represents a giant, historic leap in the repair of America’s democracy. Now that a few of the misdeeds against the Trump Movement have been partially revealed, I look forward to updating my pending legal action in opposition to DOJ this weekend in preparation for Monday’s next small step on the long, potholed road toward helping to restore law and order in our great country.’
The memo is centered around what it claims were improper actions by the FBI in its efforts to get a warrant to surveil Page, who had numerous contacts with people linked the Russian government.
Page is a major figure of interest in the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. He has consistently maintained his innocence, though former CIA officers and opposition researcher Glenn Simpson have described him as an easy target for foreign intelligence.
When you’ve got Carter Page on your side, you know you’ve chosen the right team.
Assiduous?!?
No one rocks the headset mic like Carter.
Not as “brave” as being a traitor to your own country, Mr. Page.
You’re just lucky you’re a few decades too late to be executed for treason.
What a bonus. We get to hear from this nut job again.
