Some people on Twitter see this as a “smoking gun” or at least a potential major breakthrough in the Mueller probe.
This was always how this would go…
Nunes, like Trump, is incapable of thinking even one step ahead.
Release a memo impugning the intel community.
Expect leaks making you look like an idiot.
Not exactly shocking. #StupidWatergate

So… Trump advisers have connections to the Kremlin? Mind blown. https://t.co/c3ktkAK2qi

I wonder why the FBI might have suspected
that an American who openly boasted
about advising the Kremlin
might be a Russian agent.Very puzzling. https://t.co/God8I4rdED

Here is collusion for you: Carter Page – if the letter he wrote in 2013 is accurate- admits to being a formal advisor to the Kremlin. Trump then hires him in March 2016. In July 2016- a month after we learn Russia hacked DNC – Page returns to Moscow to meet Russian officials! https://t.co/bAGxbn2p7x

It's time for Donald Trump to FINALLY explain how the HELL Carter Page ended up on his national security team.
Less than a year before Trump recruited him, Page was found to be the target of a major Russian spy-recruitment effort that led to three arrests.
Explain this, Trump.

Now we know why Trump worked so hard to claim Carter Page was just a bit player in his organization. He undoubtedly knew that Page's years-old Kremlin connection was going to come out sometime – and now it has.

Something tells me that any future attacks on the integrity of the investigation will be an omen of future leaks.

Who needs the Steele Dossier—to show probable cause—when you’ve got self-incriminating things like this!
Cater Page, in his own words, wrote in 2013: “Over the past half year, I have had the privilege to serve as an informal advisor to the staff of the Kremlin…” https://t.co/R2gZaH8ryN

We're probably overdue for a chat about how/why Trump chose Page as a foreign policy adviser — a decision neither Trump nor his team have ever explained https://t.co/CvaBu8pIje https://t.co/5IxggDw82Q
