hey you guys... look at what George Papadopoulos' MOM just tweeted:

Looks like a trial is coming!

Guess he's going to withdraw his guilty plea.

[Grassy Knoll]

1. Good Luck...

...

[madaboutharry]

2. Oy Vey.

“Only the best people...”

Is George taking advice from his wife? She seems kind of nutty to me.

[RainCaster]

3. Lock his ass up!

May he rot in prison for the rest of his fucking life.

[Grasswire2]

4. So he thought he could game the matter...

He deserves whatever he gets. Times ten. That pisses me off. The arrogance.

[oldtime dfl_er]

5. Who put him up to this?

Who's paying for it? He's obviously stupid enough to be manipulated. Russians? Wife? Someone who wants to disrupt the Mueller investigation?

Again, who's paying for it?

[Ilsa]

10. Another threat, maybe?

If he cooperated, no money, but gifts of novichok?

[Hekate]

6. He already pled guilty to something in order to get a plea deal. Now the idiot will serve...

...some hard time. No deal.

[Grasswire2]

7. Maybe he'll get the laundry duty in the pen.

That's what Charles Colson was assigned when he pleaded to avoid prosecution in Watergate. He said later that he learned humility washing the dirty underwear of prisoners.

[donkeypoofed]

8. But Mueller just recommended 6 month jail term!

Why on earth would he screw that up?! And then screw himself in the process. He's already 'fessed up to everything a year ago. I really can't figure this. The ladies in his life must have this wrong. I mean, why pay a lawyer/s only to go to jail for longer. Mueller is not a man he should want to cross. This whole thing is weird.

[NBachers]

9. Maybe he's got something else comin' round the bend, and wants to get out of its way.

The prodding women and the no-time/lo-time sentence have emboldened him; he thinks he can re-open the deal and skate. Or at least dodge the bullet that's coming toward him.

[Mc Mike]

11. Zero to 6 months is too long to serve,

if you're a repug who's committed treason.

[Adrahil]

12. A plea withdrawal...

Requires the approval of a judge. If he does so, Mueller needs to throw the book of them.

[Nevilledog]

13. His wishes might not matter.

I didn't practice in Federal Court, but in state court you can't just unilaterally withdraw from a plea. In Arizona, once the plea is accepted by the court, you have to show that it would amount to a manifest injustice (extremely hard to show) if you were not allowed to withdraw.

The usual reason people want to withdraw their plea is nothing more than buyer's remorse.

[wishstar]

14. I looked at his wife's twitter and it appears she has backed off the idea of withdrawing plea deal

His wife and mom have been influenced by the rightwing "Deep State" conspiracy peddlers of Fox News etc. and are pushing the notion of unfair entrapment which doesn't help him with perjury charges.

15. Love this tweet
