CTH’s theory is off. I like CTH but they wove the 10k into this when in reality it is far removed.
The 10k handoff and the admission of the 10k by George were much earlier in the year than the arrest at the airport in July 2017. Mueller’s minions had been grilling Papadopoulos before the arrest and his ‘cooperative’ testimony covered events both before and after he joined the Trump Campaign. They continued to grill him and then used his emails and call logs to trip him up on dates.
Papadopoulos is a young, then a gullible (not now) up and coming careerist in politics. He had no clue how dirty the game is played, now he knows. So he tried to impress them that he was honest, forthright, candid, and ‘on the USA team’. He did not realize they were looking to do him in as they went after Trump. He was steamrolled, left as road kill.
If Mueller or any of his dogs comes near me, friends are going to have to hold me back to stop from pummeling them into the pavement.
At this point all I see is Mueller and his team, all they are doing is ruining lives. I just want to see some serious pushback on them, actually more than serious, more like jail time or at least disbarment.
