Trump/Russia: Secrets, spies and useful idiots (2/3) | Four Corners 

I was curious to see how an (deliberately?) uninformed traitor just blows off traitorous behavior because he was greedy and he knew Trump could use him.

Carter Page is not too stupid. He recognized his mediocrity early and hitched his horse to Russia.

Page’s word choices changes completely when he goes into denialistic lies.

These people have a playbook,and that's to get away with criminal interests 😮

Carter Page goes along with all the events he was involved in, dismissing them as innocent. Then, @23.45, asked about an email sent to the Trump campaign, he starts complaining about "conspiracy theories", and avoids all references to his message.

This aged well

And now we all know the truth after a few years.

"useful idiots" as in the one's that still support him and worse send him money......LOL

All these traitors belong in prison.

Russian sure did a number on the US, 74mil voted for Trump in 2020....WoW!

He can remember who was playing, but can't remember a conversation about U.S. sanctions?

I find it strange how he keeps saying this kid in his 20s

HERE... LEMME MAKE IT SIMPLE FOR ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMENTS WHO DIDNT BOTHER PAYING ATTENTION TO THE VIDEO. For TRUMP, it's all about money & becoming more successful/famous. And for PUTIN (aka RUSSIA), it's all about sowing the seeds of distrust in the hearts of Americans & in their faith in the American system & just in America as a whole. Simple.

I like how Page reflexively denies any suggestion that he might have made a mistake or been anything other then perfect. That's a big heaping of narcissism and zero personal responsibility.

She triggered him so you know he's caught in a LIE!!!

Right at the end... the way her eyes react on the word "Spy" is very telling

“No recollection” is almost synonim for “I’m busted”.

You can sure tell when he's lying as he gets a smirk on his face.

excellent series well done.

Tax Abraham Lincoln Paid Income Taxes -- but He Didn't Have to! According to the leading scholar of Lincoln's personal finances, the president was paying $61 monthly. $732 per year by my calculations. The history of presidential tax returns is filled with minor curiosities, as one might expect from a basically voyeuristic enterprise. But one of the odder episodes came at the very start. Abraham Lincoln paid income taxes throughout the Civil War, but after his death, Treasury returned all his payments to his estate. The Chicago Tribune, for instance, reported that the president had been "specially exempted by the law." The paper noted, however, that President Lincoln had chosen to make voluntary payments to Treasury equal to the taxes he might otherwise have owed. According to the Tribune, these payments would total $1,220 annually. According to the leading scholar of Lincoln's personal finances, the president was paying $61 monthly. $732 pa marginally less than Donal Trumps $750 pa! Major New Revaluation ~ President Abraham Lincoln paid less tax than Donald Trump! According to the leading scholar of Lincoln's personal finances, the president was paying $61 monthly. $732 pa marginally less than Donal Trumps $750 pa! The key difference? 1). Lincoln didn’t have to. The Chicago Tribune, for instance, reported that the president had been "specially exempted by the law." The paper noted, however, that President Lincoln had chosen to make voluntary payments to Treasury. 2). 158 years of inflation. Trump is in office to cover his debts. If this was a film, spy thriller or comedy, no one would ever believe it!

28 years ago I began my career as a stockbroker. Like many professions background checks are needed. My life was analyzed through questionnaires and their own searches... financially and personally. It seems one can have a shady past marked with financial troubles, personality conflicts and proven associates of bad character and still be president. How can this be allowed is beyond me.

Imagine as a journalist having this on your resume as the truth is now being uncovered.

Page comes off as a scared liar, using ignorant strategies (pretending to be aloof), and being very defensive.

Christopher Steele is an American hero and it's shameful how disrespectful this country and others have been ...HE TRIED TO WARN U.S.

"Putin called me a genius!" Translated: Pitbull got a new toy.

I'd love to see how quickly Page's smug dismissals evaporated when he got in front of special counsel.

Important, timely information.

admirable interviewer getting to the hard facts.

"Putin said I'm a genius." He knows how to manipulate DJT!

Watching this documentary it is remarkable how many of the people that are interviewed about trump are now in jail or on their way there.

Amazing how Paige remembers every detail about why his meeting wasn’t suspicious. Down to who was playing the game they watched. Almost like it was super important to remember those very not important or suspicious details…

Kinda eerie watching this in 2021 Am I Right?

Carter Page straight struggling to deflect and keep his lies straight

This is excellent investigative journalism. This journalist is also a top-notch interviewer.

If you are warned by your own countries top security how bad something could go and then you do it anyway....I have zero sympathy for Carter Paige. How could he be that naive as to how much surveillance Russia does when Americans visit there 🤷‍♀️ stupid is as stupid does.

Carter Page is nuts. Trumplicans do have a tendency of taking others' words and actions that are completely innocent and assigning them the least charitable interpretation imaginable. But Page takes everything to a whole new universe of crazy. And he kept saying, "That's a misnomer!" Page does not know what misnomer means.

Carter smirks when answering tough questions. It’s like his face says ‘yes I did it’ and his words say no. He also deflects and gas lights. Dude hardly blinks. Deception.

To all those people weighing 400 pounds sitting on your beds at home i feel your pain.

I’ll bet organized crime doesn’t think Felix had paid his debt…

This aged well... I wonder if some of the current sanctions on Russia will bleed Trump dry? Let's hope!

We need real investigative reporters like this, we used to have it...but they all became silenced. Other countries know more about how crooked the U.S. is than we ourselves do.

'Putin called me a genius... ' That is how easy it was.

If any of us think they know what was really going on, then they don’t know what was going on.

With a PhD, you would think a senior aide (or at least wannabe senior aide) in the middle of a presidential campaign would understand that... going to Russia, as questions swirl about the candidate's connections to Russia would be a red flag. Not only do these guys scream their innocent, they scream why people even ask questions... it's a privileged view, thinking you're above being questioned .

You'd think that a guy who lived in Russia for a number of years would know how to pronounce Moscow. The W is silent. If he couldn't even get that right I can see how they might view him as an easy mark.

Imagine being a Russia expert..as if life isn't complicated enough

They got they're own rooms to work in right here too wow.

Genius production ❤

This alone should have disqualified him from running in the presidential ellecction in the first place

When Paige said it was a jackpot he was talking about how rich they were going to get off of Russia.

Carter Paige's eyes look like deer caught in headlights.. lying his head off!!🤬😡🤯🥶

The International Gaslighting Award (NGA) should go to Mr. Carter Page. He is a true master of the craft.

This is compelling and well done. Sorry I didn’t come across it sooner. Thanks!

Excellent reporting. Wow. He couldn't answer a direct, clarifying question. So very defensive. I guess "anger" is one strategy. It got beer boy on to the supreme court. So.

30:10 “may have been a few words in passing“Just like when the police question some who doesn’t want get caught in a lie. They give have half truth and that’s when them know your guilty. Do you have any drugs in the car ? Well not that I know off. like what do you mean, you don’t know if you have any drugs in the car? Also Because plausible deniability isn’t baked in to all of Russia’s espionage. Just like his response, that is their MO. the better question would be. You really think the Russians would be dumb enough to make it so obvious. In fact they did it on purpose to make my doubt no matter what happened. I do not think it’s a coincidence the biggest division in American politics took place right after these Russians collusion accusations. the Russians have been perfecting these methods for the past 100. wether trump did it intentionally or not their is not doubt he played trump like a puppet to create unrest.

I find it very uncomfortable that my life of criminal intrigue has a down side. ( Carter Page)

He was already involved with Russia and he knew all the way.

What world we live in.

Carter Page gives off sociopath vibes..He's basically said in all the interview, that he's beyond reproach!

If you watch or look at trumpet, he almost never is shown smiling, and he Almost always gives a crowd the closed fist, which is an acknowledged Form of white nationalist salutation

Honesty and spy can't be mixed together. Any spy or former spy shall not be used as witness in any legal court case scenario.

Amazing ABC news, detailed report about Russia’s involvement during our Presidential election in 2016

"Natasha" blinked 2x when the Assie reporter asked "are you an agent of the Russian government?"

I like the old movie, "The Manchurian Candidate"

Ouch! When they don’t offer a salary they don’t plan on keeping you! Red flag.

If you haven't seen the PBS Putin Files documentary......it is so good. It's about 10 interviews with the CIA/FBI, Russian diplomats and people who cover Russian politics and etc. Each is about an hour long, but it is worth it..I'm now adding this to my list.

Commie Page is an experienced liar, and he is good at lying. Perfect match for team Trump.

Carter Page's pie plate eyes remind me of a cartoon character in a panic because of the trouble he's in.

"Papadopoulos says his efforts to make contact with the Kremlin were approved by senior campaign officials"

Jeff sessions probably take secrets to his grave😱✌

Kinda glossed over Merrill Lynch's involvement but way better reporting than you usually do. Nice work 🖤

I adore Paig’s reporting style, even sitting down with this man watching him be defensive to her questions as small as do you feel you mat have been slightly exacerbating your political contacts on Moscow after your initial speech you gave ( same one and and place Obama did formerly) he gets so defensive. It was as easy as do you feel this was a flex to get clout.

JUST BECAUSE YOU SAY SO IT DOESN'T MEAN ITS TRUE

Look at carter page's facial expression, he was twitching. He want to hide something.

It sickens me seeing Ohioans waving thier arms in the air after Trump standing there praising Putin & Russia knowing how thier people are silenced.

"Conspiracy Theory ". Lol. Such an evasion tactic old news dude. Respect to brushing it casually aside. Love it. Well done ! 🎉

You need to do a documentary on US meddling on international politics ... now that would be interesting

You can tell that page is lying.....

Never ignore American and British intelligence. The British intelligence is some of the finest intelligence gathering in the world. I don’t believe Trump didn’t know, proving it is something else.

I am learning more from the Australian ABC documentaries than I am from mainstream media in America...thank you very much!

United States of Russia that just rolls of your tongue and sounds really good.

From 7 bankruptcy to the Whitehouse. Good job United State Citizens. Trump and Russian is laughing all the way to the bank

Much respect for Michael Isikoff.

24:00 - why not ask Carter Page to his face what he meant by the email he sent to the campaign…can’t wait for all the under oath interviews being declassified!!

I'm loving this excellent investigation.

Great story love it .Can't wait for part 3👏👏👏👏😬

wouldn't it be nice if there were reporters in the states like this?

15:45. There is a small village in Alaska called Russian Mission.

Page wasn't charged cause he sang like a bird!!!

Does the entire trump circle use the same mail order bride service?

that building in Moscow was made with nothing but windows for every floor, I would be so unnerved sitting there lol

I love these interviews and documentaries. Such great journalism. The electoral college needs to be gone. The popular vote should choose who wins since it's the people who voted. But that gets me about how Trump won in the first place, the electoral college had a whole commercial to vote against Trump so how did he win that anyways.

If anyone has read biographies and other books about Trump, followed his mob and Russian connections and then wondered why Trump is so cozy with Russians and loves Putin so much....the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming that Trump betrayed his country for money (TONS!) from Russian banks, oil companies (in Russia and other countries, former Republics of Russia), to do Russia and Putin favors such as lifting sanctions (which recently the Republican Senate Approved for one key Oligarch). In addition, Putin has blackmailed Trump which again is obvious to anyone who has followed this story. At the Helsinki meeting with Putin, Trump had a secret meeting over two hours in which no Americans were allowed in except Trump's interpreter from whom he took her notes. After that meeting, you can watch a video of Putin and Trump exiting that meeting. Watch it very closely. You will see Putin beaming, a huge smile, absolute total confidence that he has Trump where he wants him and then, look at Trump very closely. He looks shattered and shaken. Putin then glances back, smiling and smirking again. Trump then goes to the microphone and denies once again that Russia had anything to do with waging war against Hillary and engaging in interference in the 2016 election. Trump chooses to say this in contradiction to all our intelligence agencies which have massive evidence to support the fact that Russia did. Ask yourself this question: why? Why is trump denying this reality? You see, Putin has threatened Trump and members of his family and others in the Trump administration with a ton of dirt including videos of Trump and others with Russian or Eastern prostitutes....this is a common KGB, now FSB, tactic down to control and often destroy opponents. The story is very detailed and I have not enough room to say more here but you can find a lot of this evidence by those who have written about Trump, given interviews, etc. This is worse than Watergate or Iran-Contra. This is treason committed by Trump, his family and others. Let's wait and see what happens. The problem is that, like the Iran --Contra investigation.....the powers that be will want to keep the true story hidden from the public for fear of discrediting our whole political system and how the Rich, Powerful, Banksters especially dictate policy and such.

Forrest Gump has a higher IQ than carter page By at least 50 points Page barely has enough IQ to breathe

72 Million true believers, duped and deceived. Naive and played like a grand piano.

they interviewed Roger Stone for this... LOL

Did the topic of sanctions come up in conversation (in rhe bar where you were watching a football match? Carter Page "I have no idea"... hmmmm that is something someone would remember?

Usually when someone compliments themselves as often as Trump does, only means one thing. Self esteem and weakness issues.

Thank you for your riveting show.

someday this will blow out
