If you didn’t think Carter Page could look more treason-y, wait’ll you see what TIME just got their hands on…
It’s a letter written by Page in 2013. First. let’s give you a taste of the contents:
Over the past half year, I have had the privilege to serve as an informal advisor to the staff of the Kremlin in preparation for their Presidency of the G-20 Summit next month, where energy issues will be a prominent point on the agenda.
TIME reports:
Former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page bragged that he was an adviser to the Kremlin in a letter obtained by TIME that raises new questions about the extent of Page’s contacts with the Russian government over the years.
The letter, dated Aug. 25, 2013, was sent by Page to an academic press during a dispute over edits to an unpublished manuscript he had submitted for publication, according to an editor who worked with Page. … Trump’s defenders argue that he was simply a low-level consultant to the campaign who has overstated his role as an adviser as well as his Russian contacts. The Steele dossier claims that during a trip to Moscow in July 2016, Page held secret meetings with a senior Kremlin official and a senior Putin ally that included conversations about helping Trump and hurting Hillary Clinton in the presidential campaign.
…
In January 2013, Page met a Russian diplomat named Victor Podobnyy at an energy conference in New York City, according to court documents. The two exchanged contact information, sent each other documents on energy policy and met several more times to discuss the topic, the documents allege. Two years later, in January of 2015, Podobnyy was charged in absentia — along with two other Russians — with working as a Russian intelligence agent under diplomatic cover.jkhg
Yeah, that could spell new problems for former reality TV show host Donald Trump — as in a collusion-y, conspiracy-rich, treason-y, presidency-ending problems.
Because yours truly would wager that Mueller probably already has tovarich Page’s letter — and what had been leaks has become a crumbling dam, and sticking a fake “Nunes Memo” in a crack only makes matters worse.
In other words, the TIME exclusive is not a coincidence…
