There’s absolutely nothing in this indictment that has anything to do with Russian “collusion” or with the Trump campaign.
You can hope all you like (it does spring eternal after all) that this is a ploy to "flip" him and make him spill the beans on some supposed "collusion".
But what of there's no beans to spill? All evidence points in that direction.
George Papadopolous, former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign, pleaded guilty for making false statements to the FBI, according to records unsealed today.
Papadopolous lied to FBI agents “about the timing, extent and nature of his relationships and interactions with certain foreign nationals whom he understood to have close connections with senior Russian government officials,” according to the complaint.
Russia’s interference in our recent election and their attack on American democracy is an issue of enormous consequence. Special Counsel Mueller, appointed with bipartisan support, is proceeding with his investigation into the relationship between the Trump campaign and Russian interests. President Trump must not, in any way, try to derail or obstruct this effort. - Bernie Sanders
so, which will come first - in what order will Trump fire Mueller and pardon Mannafort?
>>>>Follow da money. Trumps finances r shady as fuck
This. Most of the charges do relate to private money laundering rather than "collusion" with the Russians, but this is just the tip of the iceberg and it will be interesting to see where the money trail leads. Its commonly accepted that when creditors started turning off the taps to the Trump empire in 1990s, he looked to Russian nouveau riche oligarchs for funding and credit. "Shady as fuck" is a bit of an understatement.
Presidential pardons for potential squealers in ten, nine, eight, . . .
Fox News, which spent the morning going back and forth from the indictment news, which broke before Fox & Friends’ third and final hour, to stories about … cheeseburger emojis.
It shows a Trump foreign policy advisor in active communication with what appear to be Russian government officials or spies trying to get dirt on Hillary Clinton, arrange meetings with Russian government officials (even Vladimir Putin, rather ludicrously) and solicit Russian support. That an active foreign policy advisor was taking these actions while in active communication with the campaign about those actions is quite damning. An unnamed campaign official sent back word that a meeting with Trump himself was not happening.
Papadopolous was arrested in July and has apparently been cooperating since. I see no purely legal reason why the news of his arrest in July and guilty plea in early October had to be revealed today, other than keeping the news from Manafort. One other potential reason is that one of the ‘campaign officials’ referenced in the Papadopolous plea appears to be Manafort. It sends two clear messages. First, we’re not at all done with collusion and we’re making progress. Second, we arrested Papadopolous in July and he pled out in October and no one knew. So don’t think you have any idea what we have.
This may be projecting too much. But in revealing the Manafort news early, giving time for the White House to respond as you’d expect (nothing to do with us or Russia or the campaign) and then following up by revealing this Papadopolous indictment certainly has the feel of sucker punching the White House.
This is interesting, it seems as if the prosecutor is looking at this probe the same way a prosecutor would who was taking down a large Mafia ring or drug gang,
"From President Trump’s perspective, the indictment is a boon from which he can claim that the special counsel has no actionable collusion case. It appears to reaffirm former FBI director James Comey’s multiple assurances that Trump is not a suspect. And, to the extent it looks like an attempt to play prosecutorial hardball with Manafort, the president can continue to portray himself as the victim of a witch hunt."
“I just fired the head of the FBI,” Trump reportedly told Russians in the Oval Office the next day. “He was crazy, a real nut job. I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”
Pretty clear that Mueller's timing today was designed to (and succeeded at) completely OBLITERATING the previously prepared Manafort-talking points which were so eloquently stated by Viva la Zone idiot-in-residence THOM BAGGOFNUTS.
THIS is what hit the administration, former campaign officials, and knuckle-dragging water carriers for DJT (Hi Thom!) right between the eyes this morning:
Papadopoulos’s plea agreement was initially sealed. According to a motion filed in July, were its particulars publicly known at the time, they would have hampered his ability to work on behalf of investigators as a “proactive cooperator.” According to Barrett, that phrase could refer to Papadopoulos “having law enforcement-monitored meetings,” including wearing a wire or arranging “calls or emails with other subjects of the investigation who are unaware that he is cooperating with the government.”
I don't believe we will hear anything from Mueller until after the midterms although news reports account Trump's legal team currently preparing written responses to Mueller's interrogatories
