Discussion: Former Trump Adviser Pleads Guilty To Making False Statements To FBI

Okay WaPo confirms Mifsud:

In court filings, prosecutors quote from an email Papadopoulos sent to a campaign supervisor about his interactions with the professor in March. The email appears to match one described to The Washington Post in August in which Papadopoulos identified the professor with whom he met as Joseph Mifsud, the director of the London Academy of Diplomacy. The email was among more than 20,000 pages of documents the Trump campaign turned over to congressional committees after review by White House and defense lawyers.

That’s what Watergate prosecutor Nick Ackerman keeps saying. Also, I can’t help but wonder why today? Why did Mueller release the info about George Papadopolous today? He’s signaling something to someone.

thunderclapnewman · October 30, 2017, 7:34pm

He’s signaling the White House that he’s got the goods on a whole lot of folks.

Releasing the plea deal on the heels of the Manafort/Gates indictments was as clear a signal as it is possible to make.

Better than the weather around here, Ghost. But only for a while.

Forecast says berry berry hot and verily verily cold.

Here is the breakout to new highs of Drumpf’s disapproval(62%) It does NOT include today’s news:

If you’re Manafort you’re praying you don’t get pardoned because then you’re facing state charges. I’d much rather go to federal prison than state.

Thank goodness there’s no bold when texting

pluckyinky · October 30, 2017, 7:44pm

No, he hasn’t been sentenced yet and is most likely out on bail.

my local champagne merchant would notice.

I know, I know, oh, oh, oh.
The shadows come to dance, my lord, dance my lord, dance my lord.
The shadows come to stay, my lord, stay my lord, stay my lord.
I know, I know, oh, oh, oh.

This is hilarious

It is now true that Trump could suck a black guy’s cock in the middle of Times Square and his popularity would not be dropping any faster than it is right now. 33% in Gallup today, only a third of the people in the country support him. Dangerous territory for Trump and those who stick with him.

We know the Moron repeats the last person that talked to him.

eta: Those people can hardly be subtle.

Occasionally they made salad of Caesar.

alliebean · October 30, 2017, 8:22pm

I’d like to see Trump/Manafort in Riker’s Island.

Sending two messages:

“Time to make a deal” to Manafort
“Be afraid, VERY afraid” to Trump

The second message is semi incidental at this point.
The first message is what it’s all about.

Manafort’s cooperation is Muller’s most direct, most likely to succeed road to a Trump indictment.

And this is ALL about Trump. We have an illegitimate, unqualified, mentally ill sociopath in the White House who has broken many laws and is a dire and present danger to our democracy and the world’s stability. Mueller has been handed the task of taking him out. All the Democrats and a significant number of republican (including, I’ll bet, the majority of GOP legislators in DC) are routing for him to succeed.

The Trump Mafia must be lawyering up fast, if they haven’t done so already. My money says this creep is going down.
