Ex-Trump campaign adviser pleads guilty to making false statement

Washington (CNN)A former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser has pleaded guilty to making a false statement to the FBI after he lied about his interactions with foreign officials close to the Russian government, the campaign's clearest connection so far to Russia's efforts to meddle in the 2016 election.

In court records unsealed on Monday, the FBI said George Papadopoulos "falsely described his interactions with a certain foreign contact who discussed 'dirt' related to emails" concerning Hillary Clinton. Records also describe an email between Trump campaign officials suggesting they were considering acting on Russian invitations to go to Russia.
In addition, former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and former Trump campaign official Rick Gates surrendered Monday to Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller.
The charges against top officials from Trump's campaign signals a dramatic new phase of Mueller's wide-ranging investigation into possible collusion between the Russian government and members of Trump's team as well as potential obstruction of justice and financial crimes.

What I cannot understand is how the Manafort and Gates indictments, which had to do with money they received while lobbying on behalf of Ukraine between between 2005-2016, while OBAMA was president and CLINTON was SoS, has been turned into an anti-Trump story.

AND, how Pappadopoulis lying to the FBI is an old story but was held back until today, and also does not reflect on any actions by President Trump but rather Pappadapoulis's own actions.

[Acepimp]

The desperation we're seeing from clueless liberals is quite pathetic.

THERE WAS NO TRUMP RUSSIA COLLUSION.

The collusion was among the Russians and Hillary, Mueller, the Podesta brothers, Holder, Comey, and a few other democrat dirt bags. Get some facts.

Mostly because they ran the Trump Campaign.

Meaning, while they were working to Trump, they were laundering tens of millions of dollars. They were committing crimes while running the Trump campaign.

Basically, more or less, a lot of people who worked for the Trump campaign or his administration are criminals. Today we have three people, you know Flynn is next, and perhaps Jeff Sessions later on. Jeff Sessions lied under oath about meeting with the Russians, and oddly enough we know exactly what he said because when the ambassador reported back to Moscow we read the CIA read the reports. Jared Kushner's father is already a felon; You damn well know he is next too - You can't tell me he's never committed a financial crime in his life. Kushner and company are already under multiple investigations, including a new one this week. Next up is Trump Jr..... By that point we will be knee deep into Trump's finances and well, you already know how that is going to play out.

This is just the first shot. While they keep digging more and more people will get caught up in this.

Clueless... All charges were his dealings prior to Trump campaign..

Will it come out he was getting some money from some source during the campaign? Likely so, but you're not going to like the source.

No, the charges were from 2012 to 2017. Manafort was laundering money while he was working for Trump.

But it doesn't matter. The Trump Campaign manager was just charged with a long list of charges. Three of Trump's former campaign members was just charged with serious crimes.

CNN, May 2017: Podesta group did not disclose work for Ukrainian campaign advised by Paul Manafort
May 9, 2017 by Thomas Frank

One of Washington's most powerful lobbying firms did not disclose the wide extent of its lucrative political work for a Ukrainian group tied to both onetime Trump adviser Paul Manafort and to pro-Russian politicians, new records show.

The firm, the Podesta Group, said nothing in a 2012 lobbying report to Congress about at least 32 meetings, emails and other communications it had with the State Department, at a time when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was scrutinizing Ukraine's upcoming election, records show.

The new disclosures shed light on the web of contacts between Russian-leaning Ukrainians, Washington lobbyists and U.S. policymakers during the Obama administration. The Podesta Group filed new, detailed lobbying disclosures in April to augment lobbying reports from 2012 to 2014 that had given little detail. ..."

How is Manafort and Gates indicted, and Mueller is going to ignore the Podesta Group?

Mueller is going down...

He is. It seems he did not report Uranium one Russian bribery plans and actual payoffs to the agency heads or to Congress as he was required by law to do after FBI agents told Mueller of the Russian plans and deeds.

In other words, Mueller head of the FBI at the time sat on FBI reports that allowed the deal to pass.

This web just keeps getting bigger and democrats and their media just don't know what to do or say.
The media attempts to deflect just isn't working.
Panic amongst the dems and media is starting to set in.
Believe it or not.

Again, where does it say Manafort worked for the Podesta group.

"Podesta group did not disclose work for Ukrainian campaign advised by Paul Manafort". It says the Podesta Group had meetings with the same group that was advised by Manfort, NOT that Manafort worked for the Podesta Group.

And it doesn't matter. If anyone at the Podesta Group is involved in any of this, or done anything illegal, then we file charges, arrest them, and then go to trial.

Don't you get this? I don't care of they are Republican or Democrat. If they did something wrong, they need to be charged, arrested, and then go to trial. If Democrats did something illegal then I expect them to be charged. But what's happening now is disgusting and unAmerican. The president received help one way or another from a foreign power, and he is doing nothing to protect our country. Instead they are trying to get everyone to believe they aren't guilty and trying to direct attention at the Democrats. Again. Let's have another investigation.

MUELLER is implicated in Uranium One right up to his BALLS

He is handling this shitshow like a poker hand. The heat got too hot with calls for Mueller to resign just last week, so he whips out "secret indictments" (which is a crime BTW since the judge wanted it kept sealed) hint for the weekend news cycle to focus on INSTEAD of talking about Hillary/ClintonFoundation/PodestaGroup/UraniumOne/MUELLER like he was holding a high Ace. It turns out he only has two eights in his hand, so he peppered up his hand with the Papadopoulis story which is a two.

Now the news spinners are crying about all these connections to Trump, but this is all old news and it relates more to Obama/Hillary. Even what Papadopoulis lied to the FBI about was all rejected by the Trump campaign and probably Papadopoulis approached the Trump campaign in order to try to set a snare, which failed, and at the instigation on One Hillary Uranium Clinton.

This all only confuses the libs of the world. Everyone else knows what's going on. Mueller is trying to save his own ass.

Fact: Trump won in 83% of all US counties. Hillary won 17%. Russians had zero to do with this. Again, please get some facts.

WASHINGTON - The lobbying firms the Podesta Group and Mercury Public Affairs are the unnamed companies in the grand jury indictment of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his deputy, Rick Gates, according to three sources with knowledge of the investigation.

The indictment, unsealed Monday, refers to "Company A" and "Company B" as the firms Manafort and Gates solicited in 2012 to lobby on behalf of the Ukranian government. Company A is Mercury Public Affairs and Company B is the Podesta Group, the sources said.

The revelation of the companies' identities points to more details about the players involved in the high-stakes venture run by Manafort and Gates to push the interest of a pro-Russia Ukranian political party inside the United States. It also provides a glimpse into the material special prosecutor Robert Mueller has corroborated on both companies and the potential legal repercussions both groups could face.

WHAT NOW, LIBS?

[beerptrol]

So Manafort and Gates paid lobbying companies to push the interest of a pro-Russia Ukranian political party inside the United States. While working Chump from the inside!

Which means those two played a big part and hence the first indictments

I guess i missed those parts where those companies had access to Chump and made the sit down in Chump tower to get dirt on Hillary. And then lied about what the meeting was about and wrote Jr's explanation for it!

Chump is only going to hire the best... He's so stupid and has such a big ego ......

are you fucking kidding? How is this connected to the Trump campaign? I'll give you a few moments to think about that.

These redhats will still be going strong even after the entire crew, including Trump is in jail.

"But hey, look over here...Hilary Clinton...uhh, uranium...Russia and collusion. Durrrrr."

The shit has been debunked dickheads. But I guess that doesn't matter once the "story" is out there for the mongoloids to eat it up like candy for their shit brains.

It was the Democrats colluding with Russia.

Since this entire web of collusion involved the Podesta Group (see below), the Obama Campaign:

Trump cites report claiming Obama campaign paid Fusion GPS | TheHill

In addition to the Hillary Campaign:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...=.c90d8b751375

And the Clinton Foundation:

https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/u...pany.html?_r=1

We have only to conclude that Manafort's indictment is the beginning of the end for the entire Democrat Crime Machine.

Former Podesta associates indicted.

Paul Manafort, who worked extensively with the Podesta Group as far back as 2011 on behalf of Russia (Source: https://www.politico.com/story/2017/...a-group-237163 ), turned himself in Monday to federal authorities.

Special councel Robert Mueller has been investigating Tony Podesta and the Podesta Group (Source: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...odesta-n812776 ), as part of a criminal inquiry into whether the firm violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act, known as FARA.

Tony Podesta is the chairman of the Podesta Group and the brother of John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign chairman.

Manafort is being charged with 12 counts, including conspiracy to launder money, conspiracy against the United States, being an unregistered agent of a foreign principal, false and misleading FARA statements and other charges. (Source: https://www.politico.com/story/2017/...ictment-244307 )

[beerptrol]

As far as I'm concern they can take them all down, including Chump, but to say it was a conspiracy against Chump.....Chump is a bitch who surrounded himself with crooks like himself because of his stupidity and ego. It's going to cost him!

He went to the best schools, has a high IQ and says he's smart! He knows more than the generals and others...etc

And it's the Clintons who met with Putin and were paid off by the Russians.

Russian Uranium Investigation: Bill Clinton Met Putin After Asking to Meet Top Nuclear Industry Official, Emails Show

When planning a trip to Moscow for a speaking engagement in June 2010, former President Bill Clinton reportedly tried to meet with an official who was part of a Russian state-run company seeking approval to purchase a uranium company with holdings in the United States. Instead, Clinton ended up meeting Vladimir Putin.

...But Clinton did visit Putin at his home. At the time, Putin was serving as Russia's prime minister after spending eight years as its president, from 2000 to 2008.

The Clintons and former President Barack Obama have faced scrutiny this week over pay-to-play allegations connected to the Rosatom deal, which was approved in October 2010. Bill Clinton's Moscow speech in June 2010 was delivered at a Russian bank, Renaissance Capital, that reportedly was encouraging people to purchase shares of Uranium One and had links to the Kremlin

Did. Not. Work. For.

Is there some kind of language barrier here? No where does it say Manafort worked for the Podesta Group. When they use the term "solicited" it means they "asked" or "tried" to do something.

You keep trying to say that Manafort worked for the Podesta Group, and then give us quotes that do not back up what you said.

You are desperately trying to tie in the Podesta Group into the illegal activities of Manafort, and so far I am not seeing it. The Podesta Group was mentioned in the indictment, but that's about it.

Tony Podesta stepped down today, just because....

Because he's being indicted next... And they hope to keep this criminal enterprise running without him. They will change the name shortly. It's probably already in the process.

BTW the media is trying their best to separate John from the Podesta Group. The are both equal parts owners. They built it together. John works Washington for the business, Tony runs the business itself..

Your psychosis is getting worse.

When your previous fantasy doesn't come true, you make another one up and shit it out your mouth on GFY everyday. When you tell so many parallel lies, on a daily basis, statistically, at some point, you'll be right once out of 50 lies and that will fuel your psychosis to continue on spouting lies everyday.
