    Q: Why are so many people saying George P wore wire when he was prohibited fr talking to anyone it'd be useful for him to wear wire with?

        "Hey let's wire up this dude in Chicago so he can record all the people in DC he's prohibited from talking to." Is the logic?

        Why prohibited? Can't record someone who has counsel? Carter Page just said he did not have counsel, just informal advisors.

        Because some people still take Claude and Seth seriously, for reasons I cannot understand at all.

        Ain't that the truth. I guess, since my media time is so limited, his aggregation was useful to me. But I really don't need nonsense with it

        Prohibited by who?? The guys asking him to wear the wire? I think they may let it slide.

        Do we know he was prohibited from wearing a wire even if doing so might have been useful in Mueller's investigation? Are we sure about that?

        People who are paid to talk have to say something.If they don't have the facts, speculation will keep them employed.Even after proven wrong.
