But somebody gave the FBI his name and the story about Russian links.

Page gave the FBI/CIA his own name.

Hillary/Fusion/Steele/Halper et al,, provided the collaboration.

I would still like to know a few other things.

How exactly did the Russians influence our elections?

Did they change voters opinions?

Is this anything new?

Did they hack our voting machines?

Did they hack the DNC’s server?

Where’s the proof?

Are we to believe that the WikiLeaks publication of John Podesta’s emails actually tipped the election to Trump?

It’s all a joke.

I would like to know some of those things too. We didn't get a "base line" to judge from. How much do the Russians usually interfere in our elections? How much do we interfere in theirs? How much do both of us interfere in the elections of other countries? How much of the interference was pro-Hillary or pro-Democrat or pro-left and how much was pro-Trump or pro-Republican or pro-right? How did this compare with previous elections?

I doubt they hacked the voting machines, though. That seems to be more Democrat paranoia or seeking somebody to blame. They tried that line when Kerry lost in 2004.

And Carter Page? He seems to have been more somebody who wanted to be somebody than somebody. I mean, more somebody who exaggerated his own importance. I guess that could involve getting involved with the CIA or the FBI, but it could also mean that he was the guy who talked about his connections so much and to the wrong people that he naturally came under investigation. I have no inside knowledge of what was going on but the latter seems more realistic to me.
