Papadopoulos to head to Greece to retrieve $10G payment, says it was intended to entrap him
Fox News ^ | 28 July 2019 | Gregg Re

Posted on 07/28/2019 8:28:03 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Former Trump adviser George Papadopoulos told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo in an exclusive interview that he is heading back to Greece to retrieve $10,000 that he suspects was dropped in his lap as part of an entrapment scheme by the CIA or FBI -- and federal investigators want to see the marked bills, which he said are now stored in a safe.

Papadopoulos said on "Sunday Morning Futures" he was "very happy" to see Devin Nunes, R-Calif., grill former Special Counsel Robert Mueller about the summer 2017 payment during last week's hearings -- even though Mueller maintained, without explanation, that the matter was outside the scope of his investigation.

"I was very happy to see that Devin Nunes brought that up," Papadopoulos said. "A man named Charles Tawil gave me this money [in Israel] under very suspicious circumstances. A simple Google search about this individual will reveal he was a CIA or State Department asset in South Africa during the '90s and 2000s. I think around the time when Bob Mueller was the director of the FBI.

That’s funny! Yeah, I fully expect her to complain to Starbucks that they need to get a fax machine so that they can send coffee direct to her apartment.

When I saw that, I was thinking 10-gig as in $10 billion. I haven’t looked yet if the title of the article says that or if the poster was being creative.

“$10G” is in the title of the Fox story, isn’t that special? Of course, this is the same profession that thinks the space shuttle went 17 times the speed of light.

I’m a little rusty on my mob lingo is 10G’s = 10K’s = 10 Large. I gotta watch more Bogart. He’d know. I think old George went to Greece from Israel and got cold feet about the money. Then left it there to fly home. Very good move as it turned out. Lots went into this frame up.

Good grief. I hope he’s not going himself. I hope he’s only announced this to the world in order to flush out some Greek criminals.

This CIA connected guy gave Papadapolous $10K and refused to take it back. Smelling something fishy, Papadopolous gave it to an attorney he knew and said "lock it up". Then he went home and when he arrived in the USA he was met by an army of feds in the airport who, without explanation, searched his luggage from top to bottom. He says they acted extremely agitated that they found nothing and had to let him go.

This goes beyond a few bad eggs at the top. Lots of people are involved to pull off that sort of setup. It's incredible that the deep state plots didn't work.

Papadopolous didn't take the $10K. Jerome Corsi refused to lie for Mueller. Manafort took prison rather than lie for Mueller. A bunch more such incidents where had one person had made a different choice the deep state might have pulled it off. Almost miraculous that everyone did the right thing. Well, not everyone but scum like Cohen had nothing to offer the deep state coup masters, try and lie as he might.

3...From the congressional (dim) staff refrigerator

4...From the congressional payoff fund (reimbursements for "legal fees")

Tawil must have thought George was naive enough to just carry the money back to the U.S. without considering how he would explain that money to customs enforcement

If it turns out to be true that Weissman was the one who thought George would be naive enough to carry the money back to the US, then it will be time to start the arrests.

It makes sense that Weissman is the one behind this idiotic maneuver.

Worried that he announced it.

Unless he was announcing it to ward off danger?
