A former campaign adviser to President Donald Trump has testified that he had contact with a high-level Russian official while on a trip to Russia last year.

In a transcript released Monday by the House Intelligence Committee, Carter Page, who was a foreign policy adviser to Trump when he was a candidate, told the committee he “briefly said hello to” Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich when he traveled to Russia for a speech.

Page also told the panel he had informed some members of the Trump campaign about the trip, and he had planned to share information with them about what he had learned.

Page often has been contradictory about whom he met on the trip, but his testimony Thursday during a lengthy, behind-closed-doors appearance was under oath.

I think Page may be the FBI informant the deep state has been trying to quash.

I once had Russian dressing on a salad. Do I need to register as the agent of a foreign country?

WHAT’S THE ANGLE ON THIS RUSSIA STUFF ????
The only time the perverts known as Democrats use a “radio active” response is when it became clear they were Trumped. Then his impeachment was the only way to go. That’s when they started mining cash from Putin’s uranium holdings . Cause if Hillary goes down and to the slammer. Putin’s $$$$$$$$$$ goes goodbye..

He wouldn’t be out in public if that was the case.

In other news, Bill Clinton traveled to Russia for a speaking engagement before a room full of Russian oligarchs, who paid him $500K for his trouble. Bill then met with Putin directly.

I think I detect a double-standard on the part of the MSM here.

I just read through this testimony - there's absolutely nothing here. Zero, zilch, nada, the biggest nothingburger of all time.

This guy's an academic who focuses on energy policy and speaks a little Russian. He was invited to an academic conference in Moscow in the summer of 2016 while he was an unpaid “adviser” for the Trump campaign, but the trip was not connected to his work, such as it was, for the campaign. While at the conference he spoke briefly with a high-ranking Russian official who was at the conference because he's an alum of the school. This brief interchange consisted of a few words exchanged publicly after a conference event.

That it. That's what's got Chrissy Matthews hyperventilating.
