Lisa Page, the former FBI lawyer whose anti-Trump text messages became ammo for Republicans to allege a "coup" against President Trump, stepped into the public spotlight one week ahead of a highly anticipated Justice Department inspector general report.
In the evening Sunday, the Daily Beast published an interview with Page and shortly afterwards she joined Twitter.
"Im done being quiet," Page said in a short tweet sharing the report. Benjamin Wittes, editor-in-chief of Lawfare and "good friend" of former FBI Director James Comey, confirmed the account, @NatSecLisa, is hers.

In the interview, Page, who is married and a mother of two small children, claims she came forward now because Trump performed a "demeaning" impression of her having sex with Strzok during a rally in Minneapolis last month, calling it "the straw that broke the camels back." She also noted how Trump name-dropped her this month in a tweet about a "double standard" when his longtime confidant Roger Stone was found guilty of lying to Congress and witness intimidation.
"My heart drops to my stomach when I realize he has tweeted about me again. The president of the United States is calling me names to the entire world. He's demeaning me and my career. Its sickening," she said.

(13,003 posts)You know fucking what????? No one has done it yet, but one of these days this Vile, Vulgar piece of excrement is going to fuck with someone that has massive devastating info/shit on his fat ass, and his little teenie tiny twinkie. Or some other devastating shit, exposing to the world that he is a totally corrupt fraud, along with his kiddies, his cabinet, his appointees, Republicans in the Senate, Republican Party, NRA, Barr, did I miss anyone?
It will be some person who at that point has nothing more to lose. For instance, Lindsey Graham who Trump dumps on for no apparent reason except not sucking up enough. This person is going to get thrown under the bus by Trump, and come out of the woodwork with an info dump that hits the press like a bomb.
This person will have made sure they have credibly sourced info, maybe even videos. The will dump the info to every major News media source in America, he/she will hope that one of the Republican Owned media in the U.S. has the balls to jump ship. Of course they may realize that there is more money in publishing the shit than backing fat boy and the rest of the traitorous assholes that surround him.
The problem is, that a bully always picks on the weak. Period.

(13,003 posts)I think the old expression is what goes around, comes around.....
That having been said, I think the majority of us in the nation, are getting tired waiting for it to come around. No matter how much it comes around, it will not be enough for what we have had to endure for years and years, if not decades and decades.....
The republicans really started the ball rolling in the first part of the 80's, Their efforts hit a crescendo in 2015........
