Post-prison, ex-Trump aide George Papadopoulos looks to reboot through new docuseries



When former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos stepped out of a federal prison in Wisconsin last week after serving two weeks for lying to the FBI, he was greeted by his wife, Simona Mangiante Papadopoulos — and a documentary series crew.

It was perhaps inevitable: Now that he has completed his role in special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation, George Papadopoulos is looking to Hollywood.

A docuseries about the couple is being produced by a Los Angeles-based company that hopes to capi­tal­ize on the personal drama surrounding the 31-year-old energy consultant and his Italian wife.

“The story to me is this young couple who falls in love and days later find themselves in the middle of this international scandal,” said executive producer Stephanie Frederic of FGW Productions.

Greeks gave us democracy. This Greek saved our democracy by getting drunk in a London pub and shooting off his mouth. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have Muller.

I can't wait to see the movie,

His next move in life is to direct this shit show and present it to the networks.

Not to be outdone in ratings; there will be a tremendous bidding war for broadcast exclusivity.

...and the masses will consume the shit out of it.

Sigh.
