Is Carter Page a much larger figure in this Russia scandal than anyone thought before?

[kentuck]

When asked who was going to be on his foreign policy team, Trump mentions both Carter Page and Papadoupoulus? Who gave him those names?? That would be interesting to know.

Why was Carter Page chosen as a foreign policy expert? Who recommended him?

1. His office was attached to Trump Tower!

I wish the MSM would cover this, Rachel may have once last year. I imagine this is where the Obama "wiretapp" nonsense came from. This is all much larger than the crumbs we have been getting, tiny pieces to a much larger puzzle.

2. True....and he was recruited by the Russians while working in NYC.

The FBI had the phones of the Russians tapped and have transcripts of the conversations about Carter Page.

4. Sorry I added to my post while you were replying.

I think this has likely been planned for years, at least since 2013.

8. I think it is important to have the timeline of Mr Carter Page.

Thanks for your input!

3. It is beginning to look like he was a significant go-between...

connecting TrumpCo and the Russians. I doubt he had any significant affect on 'policy.' He was probably more like a mule, not for drugs, but for info and contacts. Pappadopolous is probably in the same boat.

As for "who recommended him?" it could be any number of Russian oligarchs. Their leverage over Trump seems pretty YUGE!

5. Thinking the same thing

If Carter Page was so inconsequential to Trump campaign why are they so worried about him?They renewed that FISA warrant 3 more times! Maybe Trump people are worried they are all caught up in the surveillance.And why State Dept. next? Saw some crazy things on Twitter that Papadopolus worked for Hillary at the State Dept(complete BS)So is that what’s coming next?
They will muddy the water so much and Trump and Fox News sheep will believe it all!

9. Recommended.

Yes, though it is possible -- even likely -- that the public will remain in the dark about his actual role.

10. Yes, because of this move by Trump to release the memo...

A lot of conclusions will already have been set.

11. I'll post this again -- One of the guests on one of the MSNBC shows,

and it may have been John Heilman, wondered aloud the other day if Page is a double agent.

You have to admit, with a PhD he's no dummy -- AND, if he's a willing Russian asset, that goofiness would be a good foil / act.
