Lisa Page believed Rod Rosenstein was serious about secretly recording Trump: Report

Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page was reportedly under the impression that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein was being serious when, in the days after FBI Director James Comey was fired last spring, he brought up secretly recording President Trump.
The New York Times broke the news about Rosenstein's idea on Friday, characterizing the taping comments as well as talk of invoking the 25th Amendment to the Constitution to oust the president as being legitimate considerations. However, sources in follow-up reports from the Washington Post and NBC News pushed back, saying the covert recording remark was made sarcastically or jokingly.
But one notable person in the room, Page, thought otherwise. Two sources familiar with the situation said Page, who wrote a memo about that meeting, told the Daily Beast she took the secret taping comment seriously.
Page resigned from the FBI in May amid a controversy that derived from text messages between herself and FBI agent Peter Strzok that displayed an anti-Trump bias.
Rosenstein vehemently denies that he ever "pursued or authorized" the recording of the president, and another one of Daily Beast's sources, a former official who was in the room when Rosenstein suggested a secret recording, also dismissed the idea. “Never for one second did I think he was seriously suggesting that anybody do that,†that source said.

Great we now have a name, Liza Page, so this story is no longer based solely on anomalous sources.
Rod is gone after the mid terms.

I'm confused ... is Lisa team McCabe?

GOP House members investigating DOJ/FBI were saying nice things about Liza Page after she
appeared before them. So I seriously double she is on team McCabe.

I predicted this last week in here....it HAD to be her. Either she herself attended that meeting, or loverboy Strzok texted her the details.
In either event, Lisa 'turned' in that she coming clean about her part in all this. WTF is she protecting? Nobody.
She was discarded quickly.
So Mark Levin is wrong. Let's just assume that the POTUS and his DOJ know more than we do.

So, career Lefties are forgiven when they say the right thing. Page now joins the likes of Dershowitz and the NYT. Seems to be a low bar for admittance into The Glaum Club.
