I got the same impression about Page. He plays the dunce unconvincingly. It may be far fetched, but I am beginning to believe that Page was a mole and he willingly became the subject of a FISA warrant. He had worked as an informant for the FBI before. He was never questioned or charged. Something very odd about him. The dog who didn’t bark. His reaction to being spied upon is strange. No anger or animosity.
I know - Michael Caputo was praising him for being so calm and gracious about the whole thing with his “benefit of the doubt” line. I just thought he was either very thick in the head or very sneaky.
“He had worked as an informant for the FBI before. He was never questioned or charged. “
Also, has anyone heard him complain about the money it has cost him to have legal representation because of the Mueller probe? That is something Roger Stone and Caputo complain about bitterly, and rightly so. Yes, it is a little odd.

Yes to all those impressions. However, there might be a simpler explanation and if Page had previously worked as an FBI informant, this might further add to the explanation. I got the impression that Page would like to be anywhere other than in front of a camera explaining anything.... it looks like he feels that he is now forced to do so to protect his own reputation because of something being forced on him that he didn't ask for and didn't want. I also am left with the sense that he is in a bit of a state of denial... denial that he got taken in on this scheme, denial that they played him for a fool and a patsy etc. When Laura pressed him what his recollection was as to how the conversation started at his first encounter with the mole, he said he didn't recollect it... I suspect that this was more denial, this time of the fact that he was being 'prepared and groomed'. More than anything, I get the sense that Page seemed embarrassed by it all.
Me too!
