Why George Papadopoulos' guilty plea is a much bigger problem for Trump than the Manafort indictment

dude's about the same age as Hope Hicks. Extreme vetting indeed. Coffee boy better stay away from windows. No longer wearing a wire tap as Mueller has all he needs from him.

How is it that I , who voted for her, give Hillary a thought about once a month and for some she seems to be a 24/7 obession. Shoot, Hannity seems to think she actually was President.

Being under federal investigation hasn’t stopped former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos from trying to advance his career.

Four months ago, shortly before he was arrested for lying to FBI agents about his contacts with Russian nationals during the campaign, he asked his followers on LinkedIn for their “thoughts” on him pursuing a congressional run. In October, around the time he pleaded guilty to those allegations, he expressed interest “in meeting with prominent publisher” and queried his LinkedIn connections for recommendations. And just a week ago, before his case was unsealed, Papadopoulos put out a call for “speaker bureau recommendations.”

 

This might seem like a remarkable degree of hubris for someone facing felony charges. But it represents a pattern for the 30-year-old Chicago native, who leveraged an inflated resume and the chaos of the crowded 2016 Republican primary into advisory roles on two major presidential campaigns.

That's his defence despite all the evidence and emails to the contrary. Hannity, who is so shaken he called Hillary President Clinton last night was pushing this story that George is just a young kid, as Caputo this morning on Fox. Papadopoulos was a top adviser and worked for at least 7 months for the Trump campaign. Went to Israel for Trump and talked to the Russian media for Trump. Good job George has been wearing wires, and his lawyers are looking forward to giving his side of events at a later date.

 

The flapping over this story is incredible, and challenging to the eyes and ears of every American. You have Trump calling him a great guy, the Caputo saying he was only a coffee boy, and meanwhile we all know they are both lying. LOL. Poor Sarah is left to mop the floor.

Per Jim Acosta: former Trump campaign advisor JD Gordon said Trump "listened and heard" George's plan for Putin meeting.

Lying like the DNC did to all those Bernie supporters out there?  Yep, a lot of flapping out there.

There is never an inappropriate  time to remind crooked voters how lucky we all are that she lost.

Here is a good old fashioned liberal take on this whole thing.

“He went into the pitch right away,” said J. D. Gordon, a campaign adviser who attended the meeting. “He said he had a friend in London, the Russian ambassador, who could help set up a meeting with Putin.”

Mr. Trump listened with interest. Mr. Sessions vehemently opposed the idea, Mr. Gordon recalled. “And he said that no one should talk about it,” because Mr. Sessions thought it was a bad idea that he did not want associated with the campaign, he said.

Several of Mr. Trump’s campaign advisers attended the March 2016 meeting, and at least two of those advisers are now in the White House: Hope Hicks, the communications director, and Stephen Miller, a senior policy adviser.

After Mr. Trump was sworn in, he could not escape questions about Russia. At a Feb. 16, 2017, White House news conference, a reporter asked Mr. Trump, “Can you say whether you are aware that anyone who advised your campaign had contacts with Russia during the course of the election?”

“No,” Mr. Trump said. “Nobody that I know of. Nobody.”

The White House has sought to portray Mr. Papadopoulos as an insignificant figure in the campaign.

Ty Cobb, the White House lawyer dealing with matters related to Mr. Mueller’s investigation, said the White House stood behind the president’s comments.

“The media’s willingness to inflate Papadopoulos, a young unpaid volunteer and supposed energy expert, into an important thought leader in the campaign or Russian operative is ludicrous,” Mr. Cobb said. “The evidence so far suggests he attended one meeting, said something about Russia and was immediately shut down by everyone in the room. It’s very important to remember that he is not a criminal now because of anything he did for the campaign — he is a criminal because he initially lied to the F.B.I.”

cobb is really incompetent.There's evidence he attended at least two meetings, one sitting with Sessions.
