Who Is Carter Page & Why Is He On a Crazy, Self-Incriminating Press Tour??

In this Majority Report clip, we watch two clips of Carter Page, an oil-industry consultant with ties to Russia and a former foreign-policy advisor to Donald Trump's presidential campaign (something which Trump campaign staffers now deny). His name came up repeatedly in the "Trump-Russia Dossier," and since that time he's been under investigation by the FBI, CIA, NSA, ODNI, and FinCEN. Now he's going on a punishing, self-incriminating press tour for some reason.

Carter Page seems like he wants credit for something, without admitting to anything.

Soooo.he didn't meet him outside of Cleveland, but the meeting he did have only MIGHT have been in guys losing his script from sentence to

Man, i miss the days when he was roaming around, I had deep bellylaughs out of nowhere knowing he was doing news-show after news-show - the carter page saga, while short-lived but my god, comedy fucking gold.

This would be hilarious if it weren't so terrifying... I think John Oliver said it better: "Stupid Watergate",

[dixgun]

Page sure blushes when grinning through answers

[DeMonSpencer]

The gay comment was weird as hell. I have no idea what point she was trying to make by tossing out a gay stereotype as some kind of criticism about this man and his ties to Trump. Everything other than that comment was 100% on point.

😂😂😂😂😂 THEY HIRED THIS SINGING CANARY!! This is beyond hilarious.

[tawnya]

3 years later and Carter Page has went QAnon. 😂 yep, he’s nuts.

[raidermaxx]

I think he knows the shit is gonna hit the fan, and he's trying to pre-clear himself of more than a little wrong-doing..

[donbrown]

I generally am opposed to waterboarding....but Carter Page is the poster boy for why WE NEED IT!

[alejandrobetancourt]

I watched this whole shit and I have no idea wtf is going on.

[VGLMen]

I remember the guy who handed out the fliers in SF. He live in a light green VW bug parked on Albon St. in front of the former ALBION bar. Once knew but can't recall his name.

WHAT THE PRESIDENT NEEDS TO DO IS HIRE THIS GUY! HE IS COOL CALM AND SUPER DUPER SMART.

[Cruizinelli]

Why was he always smiling while being questioned about his career choices? What a creep!

[bungalobill]

Who is throwing him anywhere except himself. No one even knows who/what/why he is being interviewed by news agencies.

[kristinwood]

Hey, this is the guy with the fake background, I remember him.

[MrForestExplorer]

Seems like an actor playing a role. A "Fall-Guy" or "Patsy", a focal point for this scandal to focus on instead of Trump or Sessions or....???

[thomascarroll]

Like his smile? Or is that a grin? Who's he laughing at? What amuses him so much?

[puddinheadwilson]

What you entirely missed was the obvious question of why Carter Page was smiling like a goofball. Woodruff should have asked, point blank, "What do you find so amusing?", for example.

[robotaholic]

The truth is he met with a bunch of people with long names and he didn't recognize them and doesn't remember them and so he doesn't really know who he met with.
