It's amazing how much people in DC talk. Some dude stood next to Carter Page just after Page testified, outside the Congressional building, just waiting for a cab.

https://twitter.com/TheToddSchulte/status/927753687182823424

Carter Page might be so stupid that it's his best defense, or somehow he operates on a different wavelength than everyone else and long since gave up the ability to give a poo poo.

I mean, I'm pretty sure he's done cable news hits even after he testified. I want just a tiny percentage of that stupid confidence that he has.

Reading this Carter Page transcript is enthralling. He starts invoking fifth amendment rights against the subpoena, and double jeopardy, as a result of people not the government harassing him.

I'm no fancy city lawyer, but I do declare that is not how either of those things work. People really need to lawyer up if they are being questioned in an official capacity.

Japan wants to get rid of nuclear for some reason and needs to switch to natural gas most likely. We are a top energy producer now.

They're starting their reactors back up again, slowly.

The problem was that their regulators were so fully in bed with the nuclear operators that there was essentially no oversight on the nuclear plants. This is an issue all across sectors of Japanese society--unofficial gentleman's agreements are the norm and government oversight is super lax. In exchange the guys being regulated agree not to gently caress up too badly/publicly, and to insulate the government from criticism by throwing themselves on their swords during the occasional fuckups.

This is really a bad system for running nuclear plants, as they have possibly learned.

I think the basic gist of it is that Page seriously thought he could just blurt out twitter bot shitposts on the transcript to launder that disinfo for later use, where instead of citing a loving VK referral link he can just cite the transcript of a congressional hearing.

Except he's the dumbest page in the library so he just hosed up over and over again and then tried 5th-ing his way out of it but nobody was having it so there he sat, Carter Page, the man who went into congressional testimony pro se and showed the world how incredibly stupid he is.

The DA has far more influence on who gets arrested than most people realize.
