Papadopoulos Lawyer: Trump hindered investigation by calling Russia probe a "witch hunt"

[kpete]

Lying to the FBI is a felony, with up to 5 years in prison, and God knows how much more for obstructing the FBI's attempts to question his Russian cutout, Prof Mifsud.
If Papadop got only 14 days, it's because he coughed up something valuable.

NEWS: In sentencing hearing, lawyer for PAPADOPOULOS says @realDonaldTrump “hindered this investigation more than George Papadopoulos ever could” by launching a “fake news campaign” and calling FBI Russia probe a “witch hunt.”

...........

PAPADOPOULOS’ attorney said Trump’s efforts dwarfed his client’s actions. “The president of the United States, the commander in Chief, told the world that this was fake news.”

He called Mueller’s team “professional” and well-prepared.” Said George was “naive” and “a fool.”
