<<Ben Carson recruited this particular "brain trust": en.wikipedia.org>> Yes. And you might notice that GP did nothing notable while working for Carson. Whereas, as soon as he becomes part of the Trump campaign, he's offered free trips around Europe, paid $3000 to write a paper, and soon is 'crossing paths' with various high level people. Like the Australian diplomat in a bar. We're expected to believe GP has a chance encounter with this guy and drunkenly spills the beans on the Hillary emails and this becomes the basis for starting the whole investigation. How convenient. Both GP and Carter Page were the perfect tools. If you read Page's Wiki page, too, you can find lots of parallels. Both were guys who'd not accomplished much of anything, were eager to establish themselves and not above padding their resumes. And both were naive. Page was interviewed a couple of nights ago and it was clear he still hasn't figured out that he was played. He seems to still think he got the various invitations and 'friendships' with high level people on his own merits. For example, shortly after joining the Trump campaign, Page is invited to speak at the commencement of a Russian college. Obama had spoken at this same college a few years back. Page, obviously, is nowhere near being in the same league as Obama and there's nothing in Page's history that would qualify him for such an honor. Again, how convenient. On top of that, Page also ends up meeting with two Russian dignitaries after the commencement, and it's those two meetings that become an important part of the dossier. All neat and tidy.
