Yep, h/t deserved for Dan Bongino!

Those are all the right reactions you had there. It should all be reveled soon. If we see Papadopoulos reject the plea and demand discovery.

But that may be a stretch, given the way out is so easy: a couple months in jail at no more legal cost. George P’s wife seems onboard though.

And if he’s successful, the Russia story is over.

Papadopoulos, 30, pleaded guilty on Oct. 5, 2017 to lying to the FBI about the timing and extent of his contacts with a Maltese professor and two Russian nationals while he worked on the Trump campaign.

"Did you meet with them on May 15th?"

"I think so, yes."

"HA! Liar! It was the 16th. Arrest this man!"

I found the fact that Mifsud met with Papadopoulos on March 14th interesting from this aspect:

1. From the article, Papadopoulos found out he was going to be a campaign advisor in early March. The first meeting with Mifsud occured on March 14th one week before Trump announced his foreign affairs campaign advisors on March 21st. How did Mifsud know the Papadopoulos was on the campaign or even existed for that matter?
2. In the FISA recertification filing there was a finding that the FBI abused the NSA minimization procedures by allowing private contractors to collect raw intelligence from “about queries” from the NSA database. The FBI ended this access on April 18th, 2016.
3. On April 19th, Glenn Simpson’s wife visited the Whitehouse. Immediately thereafter, the DNC hired Fusion GPS to engage in opposition research against the Trump campaign

So my supposition is that these private contractors that were collecting raw intelligence product was passing that info to the intelligence/FBI/Obama White House political staff and perhaps the Hillary campaign. And I also bet that Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson provided those contractors.

If this is correct then the FBI began spying on the Trump campaign and perhaps the other campaigns much earlier than what the FBI claims that it started on July 31st.

It was all a set up.

Not a fan of the Tick-Tocks, but this came from George P himself, yesterday:

He took a plea deal. Pled guilty for a lower sentence.

So if the FBI decides to investigate if we store ammo upright or laying down in a locked box, when we tell them to screw, we are obstructing justice. If they are not investigating a crime, there is no justice to obstruct. What are we in, France?

To: All
Fusion GPS, Hillary's campaign, CIA's Brennan, and Obama officials—were all focused on destroying Donald Trump.
The FBI got involved using very suspect methodologies. One crucial question is how early this all happened?.........

ITEM——Hillary Clinton ran in the 2008 and 2016 democratic primaries----and in the 2016 general election.

ITEM——S/C Mueller “uncovered” that the "Russian collusion scheme" apparently "materialized sometime in 2014.

Now, here’s the $64,000 question not addressed———

Why didn’t the CIA or the NSA or the FBI pick this up?

Were Obama’s PDB’s falsified? Probably---Brennan knew the Halfrican was too stupid to catch on.

Brennan got outed as calculatedly working the phony "pee dossier" into Obama's PDB.

Dates are important b/c Snowden’s’ revelations indicate Obama’s government spying apparatus began capturing all electronic data on Americans in 2001.

The Obama police state had a lot of help---govt mastered the capture of all keystrokes, telephone calls and digital traffic by 2005.

This we know:

<><>(A) traffic travels through FBI computers, and,

<><> (B) the CIA keeps constant tabs on Russian spies in Russia....... and elsewhere.

Again. Why didn’t the CIA or the NSA or the FBI pick this up?

There has been, and is, an ongoing effort to destroy a presidency which the states, and the people of the states, duly elected in accordance with normal political procedure.

And that isn’t even the worst scandal now ongoing.

The central scandal is that our “free and independent press” is at the core of the effort.

Seems like the Russians via Steele was colluding with DNC/FBI/DOJ. Mueller is just their attack dog.

Thank God for Judge/Jury/Executioner Mueller getting this dangerous felon off the streets it is sooo helpful.

Parking tickets or Jaywalking can get you six months. How many millions was spent on this travesty?

One would think that, since P’s wife is talking about withdrawing the plea, he is saying “this will go away if you keep quiet, as this trivial sentence shows.”

Exactly. Papa-D was set up. He was relatively young and inexperienced. He was set up in Europe by Stefan Halper and Joseph Mifsud. They fed the phony Russian collusion information into Papa-D and then Papa-D blurted it out while drinking with Alexander Downer.

All down outside the US. Because the CIA is not allowed to operated in the US. Though often violated.

Dan Bongino lays it all out the best. BUT his information is not much written text on the internet, is in his podcasts.

Dan Bongino lays it all out. He has the best analysis of what happened between Papa-D and >>>
Alexander Downer, Stephan Halper and Joeseph Mifsud.

No one know where Mifsud is these days. Halper and Mifsud are US and or UK or European intelligence assets who at least here were working with American anti-Trump forces.

If you listen to Bongino podcasts then you know how it all really went down for Papa-D and Carter Page.
