FBI/RUSSIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “A foreign-policy adviser to the Trump campaign pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with a professor connected to Russian government officials, according to court documents unsealed on Monday [10-30-17].
George Papadopoulos admitted he misled the FBI in a January interview by telling agents that he had only interacted with the professor before joining the Trump campaign. That professor has ‘substantial connections to Russian government officials’ and was offering ‘dirt’ on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
In fact, Mr. Papadopoulos met with the professor in March 2016 after learning he was joining the campaign, court documents say. The professor only took an interest in Mr. Papadopoulos because of his status on the campaign, according to the documents. In April 2016, the professor told Mr. Papadopoulos about ‘thousands of emails’ related to Mrs. Clinton…
The plea was entered earlier in October and unsealed Monday.”
