Wow....So now the excuse is that it was not an "arranged sit down"....pretty f*cking lame.From your link:
In explaining his email, Page said he spoke briefly with Dvorkovich at a reception -- and that he and wanted to share impressions of what he observed on Russian television and in speeches with Trump officials.
We now know that was 100% the truth. He was being truthful when he said he hadn't had a "meeting" with Dvorkovich because there was no arranged "sit down" - but rather he simply bumped into him at a public event where he'd been invited to give a speech and they "spoke briefly."
And again, the IG report has completely destroyed the "Page as Russian asset" narrative (your 2017 "news" report notwithstanding). Yet you bitterly cling to it against all that we now know to be true about it, because you can't man up and admit you were wrong; that you were "duped" by the fake news that fed your confirmation bias. You seem clueless to the fact that the IG report confirmed everything I have been saying on this matter for years, and showed your posts as the propaganda they so clearly were. If there's a "clown" in this conversation, it's you...
At first page said it was no more than hello.
At the Republican National Convention, Page told the committee that he spoke with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and the subject of U.S. sanctions on Russia "may have briefly come up in some context."
Carter Page, a foreign policy adviser to President Trump's campaign whose visit to Moscow during the election has drawn scrutiny, sent an email to fellow Trump aides during his trip describing "a private conversation" with a senior Russian official who spoke favorably of the Republican candidate, according to records released late Monday by congressional investigators.
Page also wrote that he had been provided "incredible insights and outreach" by Russian lawmakers and "senior members" of Russian President Vladimir Putin's administration during the trip.
