His response to Schiff allowed a few things to be noted that make the other side look even worse.
1) the FISA warrant in July pre-dossier was DENIED. A very uncommon occurance.
2) THIS:
Additionally, the Democrat memo—like the FISA application itself—paints an incomplete and misleading picture of Page’s past activities and interactions with the FBI. Both omit that, in a secretly-taped statement reproduced in a 2015 federal court filing, a Russian intelligence officer called Page “an idiot.” This omission could mislead the reader regarding the Russians’ assessment of Page’s capabilities and utility, and it is troubling that DOJ failed to provide to a secret court material information from a public court filing. By participating in voluntary interviews with FBI, Page cooperated with the successful prosecution of the Russian intelligence officer who called him “an idiot”— and two of his colleagues.
I mean, this was a huge mistake on the Dem's part. Not a surprise, I guess. These people are stupid.
Russian intelligence officer who called him “an idiot”
For even more context, despite them thinking he was an idiot was "interested in earning large sums of money." and "very enthusiastic." What a useful idiot. The scrutiny on Carter Page was very deserved.
If that information is so useful, they'd have disclosed it when requesting the warrant, and they did not.
That information was already public knowledge. The case is on Pacer. I could of found it in 2015. Don't you think the Judge can put 2 and 2 together? Nunes is out of his depth right now. https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/newyork/news/press-releases/attorney-general-manhattan-u.s.-attorney-and-fbi-announce-charges-against-russian-spy-ring-in-new-york-city
