How does it hurt the Dems that trump admitted to hiring a known Russian agent (Page)?

Remember during the transition when trump met with the editorial board of the Washington Post and they asked him who his advisors were?



From what I've heard, Carter Page was known to the IC (Intelligence Community) as a Russian agent who'd been ID'd in at least two Russian agent criminal trials in the US going back to 2014.

(Note: in the audio he also introduces us to his advisor and not coffee boy George Pappadopou...)

Yes, trump let's release some info.

A timeline of Page's Russian involvement 2013- to pres.

I read the memo and don't see how it doesn't make Republicans look completely guilty. And news agencies(except Fox) will have to report on his previous Russian connections.
