Oh shock, the Democrats don't want Carter Page to testify.
The former Trump adviser who was reportedly monitored by the FBI to investigate possible contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia says neither the FBI nor the CIA are telling the truth about his role, which has resulted in an "ongoing barrage of false information" in the last three months.
Carter Page made the accusations in a Monday letter to the House Intelligence Committee in which he asked to address the committee directly.
"I have learned from your Committee staff on this Memorial Day holiday that I might not be immediately afforded the opportunity to address the false or misleading testimony by James Comey, John Brennan, et al. as per our previously scheduled appointment for next week," Page wrote. "In the interest of finally providing the American people with some accurate information at long last, I hope that we can proceed with this straight dialogue soon."

Putin calls election meddling charge a ‘fiction’ by defeated Democrats
By S.A. Miller - The Washington Times - Tuesday, May 30, 2017
Russian President Vladimir Putin called allegations of interference in the U.S. presidential election a “fiction” created by Democrats as an
excuse for their defeat at the ballot box.
“They simply lost, and they must acknowledge it,” Mr. Putin said in an interview published Tuesday in the French newspaper Le Figaro.
“They want to explain to themselves and prove to others that they had nothing to do with it, their policy was right, they have done everything well, but someone from the outside cheated them. It’s not so,” he said. “People who lost the vote hate to acknowledge that they indeed lost because the person who won was closer to the people and had a better understanding of what people wanted.”
Allegations that Moscow interfered in the election and that the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow have consumed U.S. politics and become a major distraction for President Trump.
Mr. Putin had previously denied Russia interfered in the election.
In the interview, he said Russia wouldn’t waste its time meddling in U.S. elections because it would not change policy.
