How did this guy propose to introduce Trump to Putin?
He meant his hamster named Putin.
Also...if Trump “nodded in approval,” what steps were taken to set up the meeting? Was there any action taken by Papadopoulos to follow through on his “approved” suggestion?
Exactly. How dos a low level campaign schmuck have access to the highest level of Russian government?
“Papadopoulos allegedly volunteered to set up a meeting between Trump and Putin”
Papadopoulos was so far down the food chain that he could not have set up a meeting, which in of itself is not illegal.
This is Robert Muller squeezing him to say untrue things.
Trump probably nodded and smiled and said something sarcastic like, Yeah George, you set that up. Then everyone at the meeting had a big chuckle and they got back to work.
Probably through the FBI's spy Steven Halper since he had the Russian connections. Halper had been in contact with Popadopoulos.
