Laura's bent @IngrahamAngle on Carter Page

Thursday night on The Ingraham Angle on Fox News, Laura Ingraham made this extraordinary claim about how the Russian government viewed Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page [YouTube 37m40s]:
Russia viewed Carter page as an idiot. They didn't think, they, of course they want to recruit everybody. They tried to recruit ... He's an idiot.. no really. They didn't put that in the FISA application either, correct? That wasn't..There was no red flag about that. How do you get an application to spy on Carter Page when the Russians themselves toss him to the side as not someone [garbled]...?


This is exactly what they want you to believe. They want you to believe that Carter Page was a real light weight, a real nothing. This is the "Carter Page" that Carter Page plays when he is making the rounds on all the US network news shows. He acts like a real doofus. What was Trump thinking when he named this "office boy" his "foreign policy adviser"? I mean, would the FBI even bother opening an investigation on such a nobody if he wasn't connected to the Trump campaign?

But that's not the Carter Page the Russians knew. When he came to Moscow to lecture in July 2016, Katehon wrote:
Carter Page is one of the youngest advisors of Donald Trump. He is an energy and economic development expert, particularly regarding the countries of the former Soviet Union and the socialist bloc in Eastern Europe. He collaborated with the Council on Foreign Relations, where he led a research group on the Caspian Sea region.

Page lived in Moscow for three years, where he was advising Gazprom. After the reunification of Crimea with Russia and the beginning of operations in Ukraine, he was one of the few American experts who called for understanding the actions of Russia.

Page came out openly against the interventionist policy of NATO, which, in his opinion, provoked Russia with its expansion.

For reference Katehon is the think tank led by Alexander Dugin, and Dugin is Vladimir Putin's ideological mentor. He has been called "Putin's brain." All of this is to say that quite contrary to what Ingraham would have you believe, Carter Page is highly thought of in the most influential circles in Moscow.

THE LECTURE OF TRUMP’S ADVISOR CARTER PAGE IN MOSCOW



When Putin wanted something like Fox News for Russia, he hired former Fox News producer Jack Hanick to create it for him and Dugin to run it. It's called Tsargrad TV. Tsargrad TV covered Carter Page "before, during and after his speech to the New Economic School in Moscow," according to McClatchy. Tsargrad TV, like Katehon, is funded by the same US sanctioned, right-wing nationalist Russian oligarch, Konstantin Malofeev, that finances much of the Dugin/Putin operation.

These connections beg the question: Was Ingraham's bent on the Russian view of Carter Page a result of ignorance, or a purposeful attempt to spread misinformation favorable to the Dugin/Putin/Trump white supremacist project?
