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.

That won't work. When I'm talkin fishing I'm always lying.
Oh like comey’s written notes of HIS recollection of talking with the President? Yeah, honest and factual right? Just because someone works for the Federal Bureau of Matters doesn’t mean they’re above reproach any more.
“When are folks going to learn to use Hillarys time tested response: I do not remember????”
Damn right! If she can say it 250 times (”my brains in a blender, I just can’t remember”) everyone can do it.
“then there are things called subpoenas to testify before grand juries.” Which are routinely ignored by certain individual and groups who couldn’t care less about no “steenkin’” subpoenas. Delay till they go away is their motto.
Papadopolous likely told the Obama partisan FBI liberal fascists to go eff themselves.
I am glad if he did.
This is all political show trial.
Weaky and Leaky, the Mueller investigation is about to implode.
I just can’t stop thinking about how Loretta Lynch would have NEVER recused herself from an investigation into Obama.
And in response to each of those, including a grand jury, is the Fifth Amendment. There is not charges for failing to answer their questions.
Plant in your mind now that if you ever hear the words from an investigator Hi we would like to ask you a few questions, you say nothing. Not a word.
actually this is more damning than Manafort.....it shows they are hiding something.
I never saw the problem with working with Russia to get dirt on Hillary. Several countries were working with Hillary to get dirt on Trump
If one talked about fishing with an FBI agent, one could later be indicted for lying about the best type of lure to use.
If the FBI wants to speak to you, say nothing until your lawyer is there. Special prosecutors have a history of jailing people for “lying” about things that have nothing to do with what they are supposed to be investigating.
Papadopoulos was an unpaid foreign policy campaign adviser who stupidly lied to the “FBI. He wanted Trump to meet Putin, Trump Team said no.”

Zzzzzzzz........
A big ole Scooter Libby crime. Nothing.
Just more evidence that there was NO collusion. He lied about when conversations about meetings that never took place took place.
That is not a typo.
Those on the left can be counted on to dedicate themselves to their Party.. first, foremost, forever.
“Its like the Trump admin doesnt even control the DOJ...”
Based on Trump’s own comments, it appears the Trump Admin has no control whatsoever over their DOJ. Contrast that to Obama...
The whole idea here is to make Donald Trump radioactive. So that anyone thinking of joining the DJT Administration will think the IRS or FBI or whatever alphabet soup Federale agency will come after him to administer a proctological reaming out.
Whatever Paul Manafort did would never have been investigated except that Manafort worked for the Trump campaign.
Don’t ever nail events to time if you can’t remember for sure all you watched on tv last Thursday.
I’m wondering how many voters/Americans are getting angrier every day.
Bingo!
