In early March 2016, Papadopoulos learned he would serve as a foreign policy advisor to the Trump presidential campaign. Later that month, Papadopoulos met a professor while traveling in Italy....Papadopoulos stated in the same filing that in late April, Mifsud, after purportedly returning from a trip to Moscow, told him the Russians had obtained “dirt” on then-candidate Clinton. Papadopoulos reportedly repeated that claim to an Australian diplomat, Alexander Downer, in May over drinks in a London bar.

from Wiki: Between March and September 2016, Papadopoulos made at least six requests for Trump or representatives of his campaign to meet in Russia with Russian politicians. In May, campaign chairman Paul Manafort forwarded one such request to his deputy Rick Gates, saying "We need someone to communicate that [Trump] is not doing these trips.

between September and January, Papadopoulos helped set up a New York meeting between Trump and Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, the Egyptian head of state.[18] On January 20, 2017, just hours before Trump was going to be inaugurated, Papadopoulos and incoming White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus met with Greek Defense Minister Panos Kammenos.[28] Just after Trump became President, Papadopoulos visited Israel and told settlers in the West Bank that Trump supported their settlements.

which doesn't make a whole lot of sense if George was hired to deal with Greece.

Senator Richard Burr, the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, said in October 2017 that the panel was interested in Papadopoulos because he had sent e-mails attempting to set up meetings between Trump and Putin

so the question begs, when did Papadopoulos actually, for real, start working for Trump as a liason to Greece? He was in Italy in April and London in May, neither trip for campaign business. So, other than the meeting with Priebus and the Greek minister Jan 20th, what other work did Papadopoulos do Greek-related prior to Jan '17, why, starting before the Convention, did he put so much effort into sending emails, and why was he so far outside his scope of hire, to the detriment of the then candidate Trump? Whether he walks or gets six months for lying to the Feds, Deplorables need to know the answers to these questions

Unfortunately these will be the fall guys for Muellers “investigation’. He needs to get someone, anyone, behind bars to be able to point to at the end of all this.
