One of President Trump's former advisers from his presidential campaign has pleaded guilty to lying to FBI agents investigating allegations of collusion between the Trump presidential campaign and the Russian government, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said Monday .
George Papadopolous, the 30-year-old foreign policy adviser, pleaded guilty earlier this month, according to court filings unsealed on Monday. The DOJ unsealed the documents shortly after it announced charges against two other higher-ranking, Trump campaign officials Paul Manafort and Rick Gates.
Prosecutors charged Papadopolous with lying to investigators about his conversations with a foreign professor who told him that Russians had thousands of emails containing "dirt" on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
The Trump aide allegedly told the FBI that those conversations happened before he joined the campaign, statements rebutted by the Justice Department's timeline.

After reading this post, one could speculate that Papadopoulos was an FBI plant.

Oops.
That was even more heinous, because everyone knew from day one that it was not Scooter Libby (it was the scumbag Richard Armitage) who was responsible for outing someone who wasn’t even a candidate for outing.
What I don’t get is.. Everyone is afraid he wore a wire. He would not have begun to wear one till aft he was arrested and forced to flip. He was arrested after the campaign ended, so what information about ‘collusion’ would he get after the campaign ended and his tenure as a volutier would have ended also. Not like he had a West Wing job.
Back in the 60s, you could always tell who the FBI infiltrator was in investigations, they were the ones always telling people to blow up things.
If you're TOO obvious, it's going to set off some red flags.
Sessions smelled a rat.
And he was right.
‘’’Ive read that 2 FBI agents always interview people so they can testify and support their version of what was said.
Also, that if you insist on being interviewed in your attorneys office and having it filmed, they will react like vampires seeing a cross and refuse the interview.
All that to say, the deck is stacked against you without this preparation.’’’
In most countries around the World one required to read and sign own testimony before it might be used as evidence. Also LEOs aren’t considered impartial witnesses and their word in a court of law worth about as much as woman’s in Sharia.
That’s almost universal internationally.
