Former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos is going to be sentenced this afternoon. This is the first time we'll see him in court — when he pleaded guilty on Oct. 5, it was in a sealed hearing. Our first story on him: buzzfeednews.com/article/buzzfe…
Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to one count of lying to the FBI. He admitted misleading agents about his comms with people who said they had connections to Russia during the campaign. You'll recall he's the one who said a professor told him the Russians had "dirt" on Hillary Clinton
Papadopoulos is asking for no jail time: buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg… Yes he lied, his lawyers said, but it was to try and protect his career and out of a "perhaps misguided" loyalty to Trump, not to actively hinder the investigation. He's cooperated as part of the plea deal

There's a BIG problem with the PAPADOPOULOS story

Why didn't he tell anyone about the conservative holy grail, the hacked "Hilary emails"?

(Except the FBI and Alexander Downer of course)

THREAD
Former Trump campaign aide GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS has sworn under oath these key facts:

1. He met "Professor" MIFSUD in early '16

2. MIFSUD told him "Russia" had 1,000's of "Hilary emails"

These come from his "statement of the offence" to the FBI, submitted to federal court
PAPADOPOULOS supposedly tells ALEXANDER DOWNER about this in a "drunken conversation" at Kensington Wine Rooms, May '16

DOWNER sits on it, eventually getting telling the FBI after he sees hacked DNC emails being released

From Jul 31, the Trump/Russian investigation is ON
