George Papadopoulos, FBI Snitch?
Federal governent ^ | Jul 28 2017 | United States District Court for the District of Columbia

Posted on 10/30/2017 12:10:18 PM PDT by OldGuard1

From the (formerly) sealed file:

********************
"Premature disclosure of the fact of the defendent's arrest and the nature of the charges against him is likely to substantially prejudice both the defendeant and the government. Defendant has indicated that he is willing to cooperate with the government in its ongoing investigation into Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. Public disclosure of the defendant's initial appearance, however, would significantly undermine his ability to serve as a proactive cooperator. In addition, public disclosure of defendant's arrest and the accompanying criminal charges may alert other subjects to the direction and status of the investigation. Once alerted to this development, potential targets may be prompted to destroy or conceal incriminating evidence, including evidence that the government may be pursuing imminently pursuant to judicial authorization." ********************

Is it just me, or are they basically saying that Papadopoulous has been working as an FBI snitch, trying to get other people in the Trump campaign / administration to contradict themselves in statements to the FBI?

I think they made him a deal, but he doesn’t have what they want.

If he had anything, we’d have heard about it earlier, imo.

Seems that this kid is a Deep State plant, who is now a convenient pasty now that Muller has been able to prove nada.

Sorry kid, you play with deep state and you get burnt

Yeah, I’m not getting any indication that he knew anything above his pay grade.

Well, he can just make up some juicy stuff. That'll be good enough for Mueller and his gang.

Bizarro Washington. Murder, bribery, destruction of records, state department shakedowns to fill the Clinton Foundation, Huma and Jarrett not registered as foreign lobbyists, and so on are not a big deal. But a private business guy directs investments in Ukraine utility bonds and he is facing 20 years?

After reading some on Mueller’s methods, it is not surprising.

Mueller doesn’t come across as a great investigator to me. He just abuses power enough to intimidate people in hopes they snitch on each other.

Better still, when they indict anyone who had monitored conversations with GP, the government MUST give up those tapes as part of disclosure and as part of providing evidence contrary to their accusation.

From an investigator’s point of view, be careful with wires because sometimes they come back to haunt you with exculpatory information.

Question you should be asking is what were the charges before he agreed to cooperate and possibly wear a wire

My question is what is the name of Russian female..as in was it the one who met with JR

He's a pasty, all right.

That is how I see it.

he can make up anything, but there has to be proof beyond what he says.

I think since they announced his guilty plea today; they have nothing. Otherwise, why get his name out there. He

Check this out on Papadopolous’s efforts to arrange meetings A/K/A snare everyone he met in the Trump admin.... some thought him a little strange for being such a young guy and claiming he had Russian connections all the way to Putin:
