Coffee Boy George Papadopoulos asks for $250K via GoFund Me so he can "live normal again"



https://www.rawstory.com/2018/11/convicted-trump-advisor-papadopoulos-begging-250k-live-normal/

Former Donald Trump presidential campaign advisor George Papadopoulos is hoping Trump supporters will donate $250,000 to him because he’s been “the victim of the biggest plot in American political history.”

In October of 2017, Papadopoulos pleaded guilty in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to lying to the FBI about contacts he had with Russian agents during the 2016 campaign.

In September, Papadopoulos was sentenced to 14 days in prison, a fine of $9,500 and 200 hours of community service. He’s complained of being unemployable since his indictment.

On Thursday, Papadopoulos again took to Twitter to request contributions.

I still have travel restrictions, not allowed to access my business network for the last two years, elements of the government have paused my wife’s work visa because she spoke out in my defense. Contributions appreciated until we are exonerated and allowed to live normal again.

Why don't you get off the sofa and go get a job?

Following the link to Raw Story and the underlying tweet by GP, it appears many of my fellow citizens have already proffered a great deal of similar advice.

if he's bothered that his wife's work visa was disrupted, shouldn't he complain to his family who supposedly reported her to ICE and "tried to get her deported" (her own words).

Typical GOP greed.

This was from just a few minutes search. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more.

I'll gladly donate it to him if he's prepared to pay the $25 USD shipping and handling charge for sending this banknote to him.

I have a One Trillion Dollar note from the same country. I will send it to him for $50.00 plus shipping. Why in no time he'll be on top of Zimbabwe.
