Just as the Carter Page news was about to break, Donald Trump began vehemently defending himself against “collusion” on Twitter, suggesting that he fears Page gave the Feds evidence of said collusion. In that same timeframe Russia recalled its Ambassador, who is believed to have been the mastermind of the Trump-Russia collusion. And today former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort officially registered as a paid foreign agent after have previously refused to do so, meaning that he’s also now suddenly cooperating with the investigation on an unknown level.
So even though Roger Stone is publicly asserting that he’s only testifying because he hates John Podesta, the timing here can’t be ignored. The Carter Page story seems to have sent everyone in the Trump-Russia camp into panic mode. And between Page, Manafort, and now Stone, that means at least three Trump advisers are cooperating with the probe on some level. That’s in addition to the widespread suspicion that Michael Flynn may have flipped on Trump as well. If you’re a regular reader, feel free to support Palmer Report
