BREAKING: Court papers: Former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos pleads guilty to lying to FBI agents in Mueller probe

 

[Kaleb]

 

[Sithborg]

Manafort wasn't a surprise. Gates and Papadopolous were. Even more, the guilty plea. Makes me wonder what George's plea bargain was, and what he gave up. Or if he is betting on a pardon.

 

[Orba]

Papadopoulos is a pretty important one as he is the person that kept trying to set up meetings with Russians.

Trump campaign emails show aide’s repeated efforts to set up Russia meetings

 

[fancyarcher]

So it's Manafort as expected. That seems like a good revelation, that and Gates, who's still apparently part of the campaign. Doesn't seem like much of a nothingburger to me.

Also "Court documents show that former Trump adviser George Papadopolous is cooperating with the Government in their on-going investigation."

He flipped already.

Mueller, God bless him, he gets s**t done.

At this rate, Trump will be damn lucky to serve out his 4-year term. I feel pretty good he'll be out by 2019.

But the GOP cancer shall remain.

Yeah, Papadopolous was arrested at the end of June. That is one damn tight ship. Any leaks we got out of it was definitely on purpose.

 

[Kaleb]

Papadopoulos is a far bigger fish than Manafort

Going further down, he tried to set up meetings between Putin's guys and campaign guys. God damn. Mueller is only beginning.

I wonder if he actually got any other small fish and is getting them to sing like Papadopolous (damnit, that name is going to get annoying to type out).

Just type a capital "P" and then pound on the keyboard twice. Close enough.

like president pence will be any better.trump is incomptent evil while pence is pure comptent evil.

if the charges today keep gop form passing trump's so called tax reform then
at least something good will come out of this for those on medicaid and medicare.

 

[wobbly]

Lying to the FBI carries a minimum 5 year sentence? That'd make someone flip.

UNLESS, they already have a deal with Trump & Co....to take all the heat and then get pardoned....

 

[Sithborg]

Keep in mind, he plead to lying to the FBI. There is a good chance that Papadopolous was facing much higher charges.

What is interesting to me, is someone linked to an article last year that listed Papadopolous was part of the campaign's foreign policy team, headed my Sessions.

Also, funny to see Trump advocates who have clearly not read the full indictments.

I agree on that last bit. Let it at least be for something.

 

[Kaleb]

I assume the female Russian mentioned was Natalia Veselnitskaya ?

 

[Donner]

Well well. Down the rabbit hole we go.

 

[Orba]

Apparently the female Russian that was with the Professor at the meeting was described as a relative of Putin.

[Orba]

The footnote here is very interesting.

 

[Lighthouse]

This Papadopoulos plea is the bigger story.

I'm sure Mueller has even more information in the back corner, that he's waiting to release at the right time. Nothing stops this train!

 

[Iceman]

So Mueller was the right person for the job?
