To be clear, George had nothing to do with the Trump Campaign, he was not onboard with the Campaign at the time he handed off the 10k.
George did not have to declare the 10k when he arrived in the US because he was not carrying it. If he had to declare the 10k it would be on his taxes. But if he handed it to an attorney in Greece, he may not have had to report it on his taxes depending on his intent.
If the 10k was handed to the attorney pending disposition and it was not for personal use or payment of personal debts, then George had no obligation to report it anywhere until its disposition was settled.
Giving the 10k to an Attorney in Greece was the right thing to do.
This happened before George was onboard the Trump Campaign. George was introduced to an Israeli oil/gas deal where he received the 10k as some sort of consultancy payment. He was obviously hesitant about the 10k because he saw it appropriate to hand it to an attorney until the deal’s legitimacy was clear. This is the appropriate action to take. It is not a crime.
George committed no crime. He was an easy mark by Mueller’s minions to be drawn into their sham investigation that was in actuality an entrapment to plant evidence into the Trump Campaign.
George was NOT arrested for the 10k. He was arrested as a result of an indictment that he had lied to the Mueller FBI dogs. He did not lie, he was confused by these dogs. Using scare tactics they stretched his confusion into a charge of perjury and threatened him with 10 years in federal prison. They offered him a plea deal six months or less if he agreed to their terms. His wife Simona Mangiante agreed with him that the lighter sentence plea deal was best but now after learning that Mueller is a dirty creep, she is announcing in the press that she wants her husband to rescind the plea deal and get an attorney.

Better yet, listen to the facts and inferences of what Mueller was doing to this guy here:

This is one of those deals where you want to be really careful to not get any on you. Talk about sleaze.
Never talk to the cops.

Trump is smart to avoid their perjury trap, and that is exactly what it is.
The article talks about it being in JUly 2017. Perhaps it is an entirely different incident than the one you are thinking of.
