re: Trump campaign advisor George Papadopolous plead guilty on making false statements to FBI

How would Papadopolus know that the “Professor” had substantial connections to Russian government officials?

---

Because she told him that she did... and he believed her.

I think it’s a man. How would Pap know to approach this guy in the first place?

---

The "professor" is a woman. He approached her because he thought she would have high reaching connections with the Russian government.

That’s not what I’m seeing. I see a reference to another party as “a certain female Russian national.”

---

You are correct. The "professor" isn't identified as a man or a woman.

How would Pap know to get in touch with this guy?

---

i thought that person approached pap, initially

*ETA: no it appears he approached the prof, but only after the prof claimed to have ties to Russia (p5)

The way it’s written I can’t really tell.

i agree and almost used that as my out to edit, but i took my error like a man and left it up un-edited

Was this stuff just the product of a random conversation?

---

the way teh paragraph reads? yes

but since Russia is involved, i seriously doubt it

also, i have to say again, Pap comes off as a complete try hard in that entire indictment

prof won't talk to him at first and he keeps up

he tries to show off that he can get a meeting for literally months until somebody bites...and still doesn't get to go

it's kind of sad to think about all that try hard and it leading to a felony conviction that may ruin his life

The kind of stuff he was suggesting is fricking stupid for a republican nominee for POTUS to do in a time where the media is as aggressively liberal partisan as they are and with a federal government bureaucracy where at least 90% of employees are democrat donors who are looking for anything they can leak to shite all over conservatives/republicans.

He apparently came over from Ben Carson's campaign and I bet that he was very green and just didn't know any better but then again that's something that should be common sense to him.

i think he just wanted to make a name for himself to secure one of those posh admin jobs

gotta hit grand slams to do that as a nobody

Oh he may have hit a grand slam alright.

Just call that grand slam a very uncomfortable few news cycles for the guy he worked for.



THere's a whole lot lessons to be learned in this debacle and I'll list them here.

1.) For the emails and meeting with Russians, Never ever leave a paper trail for any unsavory, unethical and possibly illegal things you could find yourself doing and certainly don't do anything to encourage it.

2. ) Don't hire compromised people that could and will have no problem of leaving you out to dry like Sessions and Rosenstein. And get rid of people you don't trust worth a shite like Comey.

3. ) If you want to park money overseas and launder it and skip on taxes, just open a foundation to funnel that money through while doing just enough legit work to keep its cover.
