Personally, I do not think Carter Page was much of an "insider". He knew some people in Russia and he had connections to the big oil find in the North Sea. Other than that, I would doubt that he had very much to offer the FBI?
However, if the FBI has questioned Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort, they may have gotten much more information? If the love affair with Putin and Russia is about money and future contracts, they may have had a lot more to offer than Carter Page?
I have not read of any other "interviews" with the FBI, although I assume they have taken place? Also, my hunch is that it is all about the money.
Follow the money.

Here is a Slate article from February in regards to Flynn being interviewed by FBI http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2017/02/when_did_donald_trump_know_michael_flynn_lied_to_the_fbi.html
Last I heard Flynn was asking for immunity in exchange for testimony. I have a feeling it was given to him.

Also, one of CNN's regular panelists/reporters pointed out that the FBI may believe Carter is innocent or a very minor player but he still has information and his boss to give up as well as helping to understand what role the Russian's played.
