From the (formerly) sealed file:
********************
"Premature disclosure of the fact of the defendent's arrest and the nature of the charges against him is likely to substantially prejudice both the defendeant and the government. Defendant has indicated that he is willing to cooperate with the government in its ongoing investigation into Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. Public disclosure of the defendant's initial appearance, however, would significantly undermine his ability to serve as a proactive cooperator. In addition, public disclosure of defendant's arrest and the accompanying criminal charges may alert other subjects to the direction and status of the investigation. Once alerted to this development, potential targets may be prompted to destroy or conceal incriminating evidence, including evidence that the government may be pursuing imminently pursuant to judicial authorization." ********************
I wonder if he is related to the infamous George Papadopoulos leader of the military coup against King Constantine of Greece...which collapsed when Turkey invaded and took over half of Cyprus.
Thanks for the link. It does look like George was either a Deep State (or FBI/Clinton Campaign) plant prior to his plea bargain.
I would wager a good attorney with sufficient research could turn him into a lying fool in front of a jury.
Trump met with PM Tripsas of Greece on the 17th October...there is a presser from WH.
I am sure they did....it will be interesting where those tapes lead to, even if that has to happen through the defense.
Agree.
Do you think it is possible unnamed russian female could be that lawyer that met with Jr even though GP said Putin’s niece?
Welcome to Free Republic.
Please make sure you contribute financially as well.
I saw one of those during the Super Bowl halftime show back in 2004...
He had better give them Trump, whether it’s true or not. Or he might face arkancide.
Or like...
Frank Pentangeli
well, if he wore a wire they could have someone, but from all indications this guy was low level. Maybe he implicates another low level person, but he would not be meeting with Trump or any senior people. Why expose the guy now? No way anyone would talk to him going forward. I still don’t think they have anything. Exposing this guy will shut a lot of people up; if anyone has anything.
I am thinking this is another Scooter Libby thing, they got guy on not telling the truth to the FBI, not anything illegal activity.
Pardon me is something smells like BS.
I was thinking he needed to go south and get some more sun.
They got what they needed....they decided they couldnt get anymore.if anything...they wanted to throw it up to see fallout
Any combination of those factors..or others I didnt think of
And only a volunteer-turned-FP advisor for a few days before popping the question of setting up meetings with Russians.
It’s like having your 5th grader come home from school and ask you to meet with his friend the mayor of London.
Guy was low level but maybe after shopping around persistantly enough he may have arranged this meeting, which Manafort should have known better since he was among many who dissed the idea when Padapolous suggested meetings in March 2016:
JUNE 9, 2016 : (TRUMP TOWER : MANAFORT, KUSHNER AND TRUMP JR MEET RUSSIANS PROMISING DAMAGING INFO ON HILLARY CLINTON TO COME IN PART FROM A “RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT ATTNY”)
Remember, Manafort used to work for McCain’s campaign.
Padapolous connects to Sergei Milliam... doesn’t he connect to McCain too?
That isn’t Washington, that is our wonderful Department of INjustice.
Yes
A name has surfaced for the london prof but he is denying. Gp was just in london on business as per twitter account with pic
Still see no name for mystery putin niece
That’s the way it looks to me as well. He was brought in to talk about Greece and suddenly he’s all Russia all the time, even though the senior aides aren’t listening and don’t respond. Methinks he was sent in to muddy the waters a bit so that when Hillary’s collusion made it into the public view, they could claim that Trump was just as guilty.
