Carter Page and CYA.
Good thread/comments
I agree with Greg that Page should have been upfront with Trump.
But I don’t think Carter is dumb but he was one of the CIA plants into the Trump campaign so they could use him like they did.
He has been very evasive about charging the government for all they have supposedly done to him.
Why is that?
I sure would get me the best lawyer possible and be going after them.
So why isn’t he?
Went back and read the comments, many think just like me, hey, I’m not as nutty as I thought I was!
This is good from Truman and it needs to happen NOW!
“CIA’s Creator Came to Regret It ... Said the CIA Was a “Government All Its Own” Which Was Destroying Democracy”
FTA:President Truman created the CIA.
He explained that it was solely an attempt to consolidate intelligence from many different intelligence agencies (page 285):
I needed … the President needed at that time a central organization that would bring all the various intelligence reports we were getting in those days, and there must have been a dozen of them, maybe more, bring them all into one organization so that the President would get one report on what was going on in various parts of the world. Now that made sense, and that’s why I went ahead and set up what they called the Central Intelligence Agency.
But in the 1970s, he told his biographer, Merle Miller (page 285):
I think [creation of the CIA] was a mistake. And if I’d know what was going to happen, I never would have done it.
