The left's war whoops end in salty tears once again.
Sorry, the WSJ is playing games again with their links, and the link I posted is blocked.
You can access the whole story if you go to Drudge: the story is in the left column (beneath the World Series game 7 photo).
The problem is he contacted others while wearing a wire.

An incompetent, lying grifter doofus who Trump listed by name as one of his foreign policy advisors to the Washington Post in March of last year. It's hard to downplay his role in the campaign once Trump did that.
Trump questions need for NATO, outlines noninterventionist foreign policy
This clown was not worth an indictment. He’s a pathological liar and self serving opportunist. He has nothing to offer as far as credible evidence since he is now a convicted liar and a felon to boot.
By forcing him to plead guilty to being a felonious lying sack of $&&&, he is now useless in any investigation where his testimony would lead to anyone above him.
This was a show conviction. Something to put pressure on others and to try to squeeze someone else to get information that does not exist.
Hillary’s lies before Congress and to the FBI were a thousand times more damaging to the US and yet she is free as a bird.

....Muller never intended to resolve any crimes staring him in the face...his job is to indite President Trump on something as trite as smiling at some foreign dignitary. Muller is just another political operative for the global anti-capitalism...as corrupt as the Clinton's.
This is a great illustration of the problem campaigns face – lack of money and need for volunteers, and the vulnerability they have. If a relatively unaccomplished fellow like this can insinuate himself into the campaign, at least enough to get glory-wall photos of himself within shouting distance of important folks, then completing campaigns can plant agents inside a campaign to generate later discoverable e-mail bombs and other problems.
I have worked on a lot of campaigns over the last 35 years, primarily as a volunteer. Most campaigns are so starved for help and organization that any available warm body will do, and there is not much screening applied.
The exception, in my experience, was Florida Governor Rick Scott’s 2014 re-election campaign. It was largely self-funded, and had oodles of cash available. If a normal campaign head count was 95/5 (95% volunteer, 5% paid employees/consultants) Scott’s campaign that year seemed to be 5/95. I volunteered for his election day war-room legal team, and was probably the only unpaid lawyer in the room.
Not all candidates have that luxury – and many are so focused on the critical fund raising and media appearances, they never have time or resources to spend on screening volunteers. With modern surveillance technology, getting people into an opposing campaign as “volunteers” is a large objective. The fellow who surreptitiously recorded Mitt Romney’s “47%” remarks in Boca Raton, ostensibly not part of an opposing campaign, did significant damage to Romney at almost no cost. Planted “volunteers” can be a huge problem.
Word up to organizers of campaigns, you should be on guard to the damage that supposed volunteers can do. Set up separate e-mail domains and addresses for volunteers. Carefully control permissions and access. Limit the campaign addresses that volunteers can access. A guy like this wants to make himself appear important by copying the candidate or top campaign officials (who will not have time or reason to read it), and that becomes a discoverable time bomb on the e-mail server.
In this instance, I’m not sure he was malicious, but by getting close enough to take the glory-wall photos (hey everybody, look how important I am!), he can insinuate he was much more important than he really was. Then, when he gets into trouble for lying to the FBI, he spills anything he knows, and some things he may make up to trade off against charges.
This little show indictment nets an immature goof ball rolling around political circles. and s
It succeeds only in establishing the fact that there is no serious vetting done, which was naive, but THAT failure will now be corrected, I bet.
PRONTO.
Who paid for this guys college fees?
This whole thing stinks.
All evidence suggests he was a paid plant who was meant to get deep into the Trump machine.
