John Roberts, White House Source: “George Papadopoulos evidence was provided by the White House”
Medium ^

Posted on 10/30/2017 5:36:32 PM PDT by TigerClaws

REPORT - Fox News is reporting that a White House source has informed John Roberts (Fox News White House Correspondent) that the indictment against George Papadopoulos is based on emails provided to the special counsel by the White House / Trump campaign. This includes a series of emails where Papadopoulos urged the campaign to take a meeting with Russian government agents.

These request for a meeting were ignored by senior campaign officials. Papadopoulos was brought in to branch out relations to Greece, NOT Russia. His role in the campaign was minor and the evidence provided to the special counsel, again came directly from the White House. This shows the White House has been cooperating fully with the special counsel and has nothing to hide.

I expect this to develop into a major story. It shows that the campaign went out of their way to AVOID collusion with the Russians. It proves that Donald Trump and his campaign tried to play it by the book. It can put to bed a lot of the “collusion” conspiracy theories Democrats have been floating in the media for the past 72 hours. Video coming soon…

Trump collusion? Not quite!

This is going to boomerang on Dems. Podesta (and eventually Hillary) will be the targets of the investigation.

I think to save face, Mueller has to or already has moved on the Dems....might not move on Hillary directly but close enough so as to say he was objective and nonpartisan. He himself was wrapped up with Uranium One story...so he will tread cautiously

This may suggest that once President Trump is a couple steps ahead of the drive by media.

How do we know that they “ignored” the requests for meetings? This opens a whole new avenue for “questions”!

/s but I really wanted to “forget” it and see how many replies I got. ;-)

Media continues to fall into the rope-a-dope trap.

I doubt Mueller targets Podesta and Hillary...

I get the feeling that the leftists are hoping that innuendo will undo Trump.

But then these pesky facts keep getting in the way.

There is one thing they can’t ignore: criminal charges. As long as there are no criminal charges against anybody on their team? Ho hum, same ol same ol. so fun living under communists.

Call me skeptical, because Mueller has surrounded himself with devoted Democrats for the legal team in his investigations, and Democrats ALWAYS put party above all else.

I get confused. Is John Roberts the Chief Justice or the other one, the one from Bob’ Burgers.

Ah ha! So the Trump administraion admits to colluding (“branch out relations”) with foreign interests, albeit Greek and not Russian. But we know that the Greeks follow the Orthodox religion — JUST AS THE RUSSIANS DO. It’s all over now for Trump!!

Bigly SARCASM, in case you need to be told.
