As if anyone had any doubts remaining, George Papadopoulos tweeted on Wednesday that all must be exposed amid a court battle in which he is petitioning a judge to delay the start of his jail term.
I NEVER flipped against the president. What I did do, however, is expose the corruption of this investigation for the world to see. The legacy is what matters now, how history remembers these days. Silence during these critical days was never an option. All must be exposed.

Truth? Well, THAT does seem to be an option for you! And one you prefer not to use...

Really, this guy is an idiot.

(22,037 posts)8. A question
Can the judge change the sentence? Is that what the prosecutors will seek? This seems like a curious position for Papadopolous and a bad strategy.
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.

(62,444 posts)9. I'd have to look at some details on this one, but...
I doubt the judge is going to let him withdraw his plea. Period.
