Carter Page’s testimony is filled with bombshells — and supports key portions of the Steele dossier

• The House Intelligence Committee released a transcript of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page’s testimony before the panel last week. Some of the testimony supports details contained in what’s become known as the Steele dossier. Page revealed that he had met with Russian government officials and a top official at a state-owned oil giant during a 2016 trip to Moscow.
  

The House Intelligence Committee on Monday released the full transcript of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page’s testimony before the panel last week, portions of which support details in an explosive collection of memos outlining alleged collusion between the campaign and Moscow during the election.


Page revealed during his testimony that he met with both members of Russia’s presidential administration and with the head of investor relations at the state-owned Russian oil giant Rosneft during his trip to Moscow last July.


He also congratulated members of the Trump campaign’s foreign policy team on July 14 for their “excellent work” on the “Ukraine amendment” – a reference to the Trump campaign’s decision to “intervene” to water down a proposed amendment to the GOP’s Ukraine platform.

What a bunch of details Schiller has given. Now, doesn't everyone think if Trump or his bodyguard knew Trump had been offered and turned down five Russian women while he was in Moscow, they would have already told the story?


Trump Bodyguard Keith Schiller Testifies Russian Offered Trump Women, Was Turned Down


WASHINGTON — After a business meeting before the Miss Universe Pageant in 2013, a Russian participant offered to "send five women" to Donald Trump's hotel room in Moscow, his longtime bodyguard told Congress this week, according to three sources who were present for the interview.
Two of the sources said the bodyguard, Keith Schiller, viewed the offer as a joke, and immediately responded, "We don't do that type of stuff."


The two sources said Schiller's comments came in the context of him adamantly disputing the allegations made in the Trump dossier, written by a former British intelligence operative, which describes Trump having an encounter with prostitutes at the hotel during the pageant. Schiller described his reaction to that story as being, "Oh my God, that's bull----," two sources said.


The conversation with the Russian about the five women took place after a morning meeting about the pageant in Moscow broke up, two sources said.


That night, two sources said, Schiller said he discussed the conversation with Trump as Trump was walking back to his hotel room, and Schiller said the two men laughed about it as Trump went to bed alone. Schiller testified that he stood outside Trump's hotel room for a time and then went to bed.


One source noted that Schiller testified he eventually left Trump's hotel room door and could not say for sure what happened during the remainder of the night.


Two other sources said Schiller testified he was confident nothing happened.


Schiller said he and Trump were aware of the risk that hotel rooms in Moscow could be set up to capture hidden video, two sources said.


Schiller was grilled about the Moscow trip as part of four hours of testimony before the House Intelligence Committee. The questioning around the Moscow trip took a significant amount of time, the sources said. Schiller was also asked about the June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower between Donald Trump Jr. and Russians, two of the sources said. He testified that he did not recall much about that day.


In a statement, Schiller's lawyer said "the versions of Mr. Schiller’s testimony being leaked to the press are blatantly false and misleading. "


"We are appalled by the leaks that are coming from partisan insiders from the House Intelligence Committee," said Stuart Sears. "It is outrageous that the very Committee that is conducting an investigation into leaks — purportedly in the public interest — is itself leaking information and defaming cooperative witnesses like Mr. Schiller. The Chairman and Ranking Member should investigate and hold accountable whoever is responsible for leaking false and misleading versions of Mr. Schiller’s testimony. This conduct is indefensible and calls into question the credibility and motives of the Committee’s investigation."


A White House lawyer familiar with the matter said that the White House "and fair-minded people are pleased that Mr. Schiller was able to debunk yet another of the false claims in the fantasy dossier funded by the DNC and the Clinton campaign and prepared during a time its foreign author worked closely with paid Russian operatives."


A Navy veteran, Schiller worked part-time as a bodyguard for Trump while still an NYPD officer. He began working for Trump full-time after his retirement from the force in 2002 and became his director of security in 2004. He served as director of oval office operations in the Trump White House from January until September.

So, if the pee pee tape exists, someone has given Schiller/Trump reassurances that it will not be released....
...providing, of course, Trump does what he's told.
The reassurance is credible to them because it comes with the assurance that Putin does not want Trump impeached as it's unhelpful to his goals.

I am not sure a golden shower tape would be much damaging to Trump, politically or personally

he might actually get a few more supporters from the Democrats side

You really think you have it figured out?

The US government isn't functioning as effectively as it was a year ago. America's adversaries benefit from that.

America's allies don't trust someone who can't tell the truth or keep private conversations private or tweets his opinion without little thought behind his words. America's adversaries win again.

Yes, and that's why Putin wants 45 to remain in office.
And that's why, if they exist, the pee pee tapes won't be released. The irony is that 45 wants to remain in office for as long as possible, but the pp tape would hinder that tremendously and as long as Putin assures him the tape won't be released, 45 is happy, and Putin is happy because the self-serving 45 will do whatever Putin wants behind the scenes, energy deals with American companies for example.

the guy who wrote this was mueller's asst. director of counter intelligence at the FBI...

when you talk about people who are used to spending nearly $1 million in three years on business suits out of a place in Cyprus, those guys are not going to do 25 years in jail. It doesn’t matter who they are going to roll over on, there’s no way Manafort is going to do 25 years in jail if he can avoid it. He can’t last.

I would be greatly surprised if Papadopoulos is the only person who’s been cooperating with Mueller. Knowing the way we worked all these other very sophisticated cases for him, he potentially has other informants. And when the people who may be cooperating with the investigation start consensually recording conversations, it’s all over.

That’s why Bob Mueller’s going about this in the way that he is. He knows these guys are not seasoned criminals. And he knows they’re going to roll over on each other. Mark my words, it will start becoming a race to the special counsel’s office.

So, who will die because of the Russian investigation?

Trump said to reporters on Air Force One,“This artificial Democratic hit job gets in the way and that’s a shame because people will die because of it,” he said. “And it’s a pure hit job.”

Is he saying he or Putin will have people killed? Just what does this mean?
