In a series of early morning tweets on Wednesday, President Donald Trump blasted House Democrats for postponing a hearing with former Trump campaign aid Carter Page:
So now it is reported that the Democrats, who have excoriated Carter Page about Russia, don't want him to testify. He blows away their….

The quote below on James Comey and John Brennan is from Page’s statement:
…case against him & now wants to clear his name by showing "the false or misleading testimony by James Comey, John Brennan…" Witch Hunt!

Fox News reported on Tuesday that despite Page’s desire to testify, Dems put that on hold:

Fox & Friends covered Page’s statement on-air this morning:

But rather than ask Dems why they cancelled a hearing they were begging for, the media and libs are attacking Trump:
President longing for credibility contest pitting, on one side, Carter Page and, on the other, James Comey and John Brennan https://t.co/NaylK3CMVE

Carter Page v. James Comey + John Brennan. Who ya got?

Of course in Trump's world Carter Page has more credibility than John Brennan. https://t.co/uSQBRZc0SF

So now Trump is embracing/defending Carter Page agst Comey and Brennan based on quotes no one seems to have heard. Possibly Page for CoS?

Exit question: Why do so many members of the media not care that Dems don’t want to hear what Page has to say under oath?
