      George Papadopoulos is colossally stupid.

      I honestly think Papadopoulos' lawyers only agreed to submit this sentencing memo so they can get thru next Friday and be done with him before he gets charged in the conspiracy indictment.

      Marcy, the first leg of your conspiracy stool just fell off. George told no one about the emails in Trump orbit and was not charged with lying to the FBI on this. The Mifsud argument from SC was always laughable (as now laid out by George's attorney). Mifsud was a set up.

      Yeah but he could very well have lied about this. His own brief says he first denied doing so and later said he couldn’t recall, perhaps when he was confronted with contradictory evidence. And why wouldn’t he tell them? It doesn’t make sense.pic.twitter.com/rUWKDGWdhd

      They must attack Papadopoulos's sentencing memo because it profoundly contradicts one of the pillars of their collusion narrative

      Huh. Half the self-respective Trump fans I've seen find Papadopoulos' claims outright bullshit, given that he also told the Greeks about it. But just half.

      So what's Mueller's real plan: Charge George with lying (an indictment that gets stretched out for over a year), right before charging him with lying again (for different lies) from the same set of interviews with the FBI? That would make the SC look ridiculous.

      I agree. That's not going to happen. Want me to help you do basic thinking again?

          Please. FYI, I read your piece today already. I am really trying to see how you decipher things. I just disagree. Ok?

          Yes. You disagree, but it's clear your understanding of how things proceed isn't very sophisticated, so that may be part of the reason why you disagree.

          Not nice. I had a 30 year career, mostly as an Executive. I dealt with numerous legal issues and lawsuits for companies I worked for. Example of hole in your recent argument on Flynn. You do not know what Flynn told Trump directly, such as that he was not under investigation.

          Congratulations on your successful career being sued. You appear to have missed precisely WHERE I noted that Flynn had had time w/Trump personally.

          Never said I was sued, or caused legal issues. Re Flynn, your whole premise was based on "Trump knew Flynn was under investigation". I read where you noted they met. My point is perfect opportunity to assure Trump. (Comey asked investigation to shut down in Dec 2017.)

          You appear to ENTIRELY misunderstand the point of my post. I'm not interested in whether the Flynn firing leads to obstruction (except insofar as he offered him a pardon).

          I understand your theory and focus: they were all in on conspiracy that sanction relief, etc. was the "quo" therefore Flynn had to lie. But, your article did walk through obstruction elements. I mentioned the hole in the overall timeline of your article re obstruction.

          Again, the ONLY aspect of obstruction I was interested in in that piece was pre-emptive pardons. I was CRITIQUING the obsession with obstruction.
