Carter Page, from Rachel last night.

For those of you that watched, was the fact that they already had Carter Page on their radar due to him working with the Russian spies in NY, already known or was she basically breaking news with that?

Was Carter Page. I guess they were the ones that called him a "useful idiot"?

But when they are out of that area they can appear as fools.

Carter Page was probably nerdy book smart but when he tried to do all this secret stuff and having to deal with others in person he came off foolish.

I would not include trump with these as trump actually is an idiot overall and only good at being a failure.

Interviews on Chris Hayes with no attorney, fascinating.
