1. Page is nuts. I can imagine all kinds of stuff flying out of his little mouth.

[kentuck]

2. He could probably plead insanity...

and get away with it.

[Renew Deal]

3. Will there be a transcript?

[MelissaB]

6. Yes. I think in 3 days.

[fleur-de-lisa]

7. Yes!

"Page originally sought to be questioned by the House Intelligence panel in public, but the panel insisted the appearance be conducted in private. As a compromise, the committee agreed to release a transcript three days after the interview."

11. Why did the panel insist on a private hearing?

[fleur-de-lisa]

22. My gut feeling is they knew how bad this was gonna be

and wanted to get ahead of Page's crazy testimony.

The article didn't explain, so no evidence . . . just my intuition.

[Renew Deal]

16. Page is one of the craziest people involved in this thing

I think he wants to testify in public because he is guiltier than most. Nothing to lose. Makes him look forthcoming

[fleur-de-lisa]

4. He must be the stupidest man on earth.

Or he really is crazy. Hard to tell with those bugged-out eyes of his!

[TheBlackAdder]

14. Hey, he's a ruthless person.

5. getting a coherent answer from that smug

nitwit is going to take a while.

Watch Chris Hayes interview him... he is all "maybe it happened, maybe not" and smug and smiling like he is mr. superspy

I am absolutely sure that someplace in the transcript there will be a "If I tell you I will have to kill you" stmt from him

[MelissaB]

8. He has involed the 5th on document production.

Carter Page has invoked the 5th, on his own without a lawyer, regarding document production, says House Intel member Speier. Which documents? "Any documents," she tells me.

10. The 5th is a testimonial privilege

It doesn't apply to documents.

[Madam45for2923]

13. Oh that's funny then!

[rsdsharp]

24. Which of course doesn't mean

the Republicans won't let him get away with it.

Seriously, if the 5th Amendment applied to documents a search warrant could be thwarted by invocation of the privilege.

9. Carter Page leaves House Intel after more than 6.5 hours; I asked him if he's spoken to Mueller yet,

Carter Page leaves House Intel after more than 6.5 hours; I asked him if he's spoken to Mueller yet, he declined to comment

Can I just say that this reporter kicks ass?

[NastyRiffraff]

12. I saw him on Chris Hayes

He looked like he was on some kind of psychotropic drug. Dumb as dirt and with a blank,stupid smile as Chris drilled him.

[C_U_L8R]

15. Wipe the smile off that Carter jerk's face

It must be a litigator's field day in there... Carter Page is slippery but not so bright

[FM123]

17. He always comes across as such a stupid idiot...

Hard to believe he has all kinds of degrees from the Naval Academy, Georgetown, NYU, etc etc including a PhD? Is he just playing dumb?

[yortsed snacilbuper]

18. "degrees from the Naval Academy,"

it seems like the navy produces a lot of a$$holes.

[OnDoutside]

19. Is he under oath ?

[The_jackalope]

20. Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait for the transcript!

[Mr. Ected]

21. So did Devin Nunes spend 6.5 hours questioning Page on whether Hillary's uranium deal

Caused him to travel to Moscow as an emissary of the Republican Party to root out injustice and fight for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

Because Devin Nunes and the Republicans on his committee are stonewalling and obfuscating and anything that comes out of its chambers is at least partially suspect.

Poor Adam Schiff. Poor Eric Swalwell. Poor Jackie Speier.

23. For all the Festivus seekers & doubters...it is here DAILY.
