There is something very askew with the Pappadopoulos case.

[triron]

There's this from the Chicago Suntimes:

More on Clinton emails: A major question has been if Papadopoulos told anyone in the Trump campaign the Russians had “dirt” on Clinton.

Breen told reporters: “To his knowledge he does not recall doing that. And if he did, he does not recall who it would be that he had told that to. “

George is lying imo. Why?

[YessirAtsaFact]

1. More will be revealed

Mueller isn't going to show all of his cards just yet.

Papa will be on parole for a long time and one of the conditions should be continued cooperation with the investigation.

2. But you buy the narrative quoted above in the Sun Times?

[YessirAtsaFact]

3. No, I don't buy that narrative

You know damn well if a blabbermouth kid found out the Russians had dirt on Hillary Clinton, the first thing he would do, after getting drunk and blabbing in a London bar, of course, is to call the campaign and tell them the great news.

He was angling for a fat government job after the campaign.

4. So wonder why Mueller is not still after him?

[BigmanPigman]

6. He is cooperating...

that is why the light sentence. Same with Flynn. No sentence yet since he is cooperating. At least that is what the pundits and guests are saying.

[YessirAtsaFact]

8. Exactly. Quietly still providing information

I don't believe for a minute that he didn't tell campaign officials about damaging information about Hillary.

I believe this is an FBI sanctioned lie, covering for some ongoing investigation.

9. Watched part of the CNN special with Tapper interviewing him.

Very confusing to me.

5. His wife last week on TV said he was being set up

And that he wanted out of his cooperation agreement. Unfortunately I think it was Chris Hayes was very impatient with her. He rushed through the interview.

On edit... You could hardly understand her with her broken English

[triron]

7. Set up by whom?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. If he lies again, he can be charged again. It won't be so easy for him a second time. . . . nt
