He would have been in deep, deep trouble... like Awan’s wife?
The seriousness of the entrapment only goes one way.
I recall the Left being all angry about Project Veritas on multiple occasions ... but then they didn’t work for the Justice Department.
WITH ALL THE PLOTTING AGAINST TRUMP THESE PEOPLE WERE DOING WHEN DID THEY HAVE TIME TO DO THEIR ACTUAL JOBS?
YOU KNOW, PROTECTING THE CITIZENS FROM TERRORISTS AND STUFF
Mueller really is scum.
I don’t believe in coincidences.
If someone gives you ten grand in a foreign country, which is the dollar limit for this thing, and then when you enter the US you are arrested, that sounds like a setup. Why was he arrested?
mueller and deep state, have been using the powers of the government to go after and ruin too many.. it has become a way of life to them. It’s NOT the way we run our country and it’s past time to stop this low life. They have grown to believe they were above the law.. they WERE the law.... time to shut them down!
I just don’t have any... NONE.. confidence in congress to do anything outside of meeting demands and debts to special interest.. that is the only reason (except for a few) they come to Washington.. stay long enough to gain power and retire with a fortune. It has become the norm and no one has said “no more”. This election in Nov is one of the most important elections we will have.. it either solidifies Trump or it will begin the left/dems attempt to take him out. That would be the end of the last hope we have for our nation. If they are able to do that, our constitution ... our rule of law.. our beloved United States would be no more... ever!
Gee a Somali woman waltzes through the Minneapolis airport with hundreds of thousands in cash in a suitcase and flies back to Somalia and there is no problem. The source of that cash was likely a fraudulent daycare business that bilked the State of Minnesota out of an estimated $20 million.
There should be a law change that special prosecutors appointed by congress can ONLY pursue crimes done before they were appointed. Any future crimes must be refereed to the regular prosecutors. Without that restrictions, the special prosecutors can go after ANYONE and try to mess them up. That seems to be exactly what Mueller is trying to do, without a real crime... he is abusing people by trying to set them up.
Does that not mean he was arrested before he had the chance to declare the money? (if he still had the money on him)
Yes, I know they give you the customs card to fill out while on the plane, but until you get the chance to turn the card in, it seems you have not committed a crime of non-declaration.
So not only was it a set up, it was poorly executed.
Can anyone correct me if that is incorrect?
The shadowy dark of the Swamp recedes a bit more. Here’s the Mueller operation in all its seedy, tawdry, and corrupt abuse of their powers.
What a malignancy on the body politic Mueller is.
The comments following the article are also excellent, and seem to include some people with really deep knowledge of the players around the Papadapolis sting.
Big money in selling access to American’s gathered ‘intelligence’... make it now for ‘favors’ (from the press and others) or make it later as a retired A-hole like Brennan....
Mueller has now exceeded as shadow President. Trump is asleep.
No, the Daily Caller didn't 'learn' anything. They read the released memo from 3 days ago just as anyone else could:
https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4776071/a106dd6d-64e2-43c0-9da1-a90a48ed8daa.pdf
CTH should just drop Daily Caller BS and simply link to the above memo.
And CTH plays up the 10k BS and idiots on this thread lap it up.
I generally like CTH's products but they have their 2nd string at-bat on this BS.
Look at the last paragraph of Mueller's memo linked above just before the one-sentence conclusion. Here's what Mueller and his pack of dumbasses write in that paragraph:
Based on the defendant’s offense level under the Guidelines, the applicable range for a fine is $500 to $9,500. The defendant provided information about $10,000 in cash he received from a foreign national whom he believed was likely an intelligence officer of a foreign country (other than Russia). The defendant has stated that he kept that money in a safe pending his sentencing in this case and Counsel for the defendant has consented to the imposition of this fine amount.
Forfeiture is not applicable in this case.
In other words, the 10k has ZERO to do with anything as it was BEFORE Papadopoulos worked for the Trump Campaign. The ONLY REASON it is even mentioned in the memo is because it shows he has the money to pay the maximum bogus fine they can throw at him.
The entire 10k issue is a non-issue. Papadopoulos was not outsmarting them, was not being setup by Mueller for the 10k. He simply told the truth to these effing bastards and they leaked it to the press that he was 'money laundering', he was in cahoots with 'foreign agents' who were actually Israeli businessmen. George told them it was 'possible' these Israelis were intel operatives, possible, why did he say this? Because he was trying to show loyalty to his country as they badgered him what contacts, foreign dealings, Russkie contacts, and other assorted bullsh*t questions. So he told them about the Israelis he met BEFORE he was with the Trump Campaign. He told them he met these Israelis, one of whom gave him 10k as part of a business deal BEFORE any connection with the Trump Campaign. They couldn't hang him for it but they leaked it to the press to make George look like a bad guy and to start rumors many of which are propagating on this thread by people that should know better.
Assuming all that was written about Papa and the cash, I have a question.
Since he gave the money to an “attorney” in Greece, presumably to hold (nobody has said what happened to the money that I have read), does his contact with this lawyer constitute “attorney-client privilege” under Greek law?
Is US law irrelevant if not Greek laws were broken?
Where is the money?
Can Tawil be found, subpoenaed and desposed?
This stinks worse than an open cesspool on a hot summer day.
