One of the oddities of the Nunes Memo drama is that it has focused on Carter Page, someone who seems to have had a legitimately tenuous connection to the Trump campaign and has enough dirty laundry to make almost anyone run for cover. As just one example, he was on Laura Ingraham’s show last night as some sort of martyr/conquering hero. Whether this is irony or foolery or a high stakes gambit to conceal more information I’m really not sure. But there’s a good chance Trump and his associates will rue the day they bear-hugged him as their showpiece victim of Deep State treachery.
