Politics First Charges filed in Mueller Investigation

The timeline is so very interesting.

The interview where Papadopolous lied to the FBI happened on Jan 27th

Later that afternoon Trump called Comey personally to invite him to a private dinner where the President asked Comey for a loyalty pledge.

 

From the Papadopoulos plea:

PAPADOPOULOS claimed his interactions with an overseas professor, whom PAPADOPOULOS understood to have substantial connections to Russian Gvt. officials, occurred before PAPADOPOULOS became a foreign policy advisor to the Campaign. PAPADOPOULOS acknowledged that the professor had told him that the Russians possessed “dirt” on then-candidate Clinton in the form of “thousands of emails,” but stated multiple times that he learned that information prior to joining the campaign.

In truth and fact, however, PAPADOPOULOS learned he would be an advisor to the Campaign in early March, and met the professor on or about March 14, 2016; the professor only took an interest in PAPADOPOULOS because of his status on the campaign; and the professor told PAPADOPOULOS about the “thousands of emails” on or about April 26, 2016, when PAPADOPOULOS had been a foreign policy advisor to the campaign for over a month.​

 

It was "Professor" Putin! With the "lead pipe", in the "conservatory"!

The indictment was expected. No surprises here, and not even a hint of collusion still.

 

You were expecting Papadopoulos?

Never heard of him.

As with many Trump campaign workers, Papadopoulos brought scant experience to the table. He was unusually young for his role, having only graduated in 2009, and had few foreign-policy credentials: He listed participation in a Model UN as one on his resume. He had previously worked for Ben Carson’s GOP presidential campaign.

...

Yet Papadopoulos is hardly a big fish. The Post report shows that Trump campaign officials eyed his contacts with Russia with discomfort and skepticism, and aides with more obvious potential channels to the Kremlin—in particular Manafort—waved them off. It’s also difficult to tell how seriously to take the Russians with whom he was in contact: The Russian female was apparently lying about her blood ties to Putin, while it’s unclear what the Professor’s links were, or whether the supposed Ministry of Foreign Affairs source really was one.

 

When all else fails find a black guy to blame.

Obama

Don Lemon

Ben Carson
