George Papadopolous -- Trump campaign volunteer who sparked Trump-Russia probe in July 2016 -- has been sentenced to just 14 days in jail. This does not bode well for the investigation, & hopes for collusion proof (as some of us warned right at the start):https://www.thenation.com/article/why-the-papadopoulos-plea-isnt-a-smoking-gun/ …

For a sample of the vain hopes that have been placed in George P, here's James Risen of
@TheIntercept calling him part of "a secret channel" between Trump-Russia & "Exhibit A in the argument" for collusion:

Hey
@emptywheel , does Jeff Sessions get indicted for his role in the Russia collusion plot before or after George P spends his 14 days in jail?

Ahhh. Aaron the clown once again points to stuff that actually HAS proven to be true, and thinks it's proof of the opposite. As a reminder, Aaron, I don't engage with people who 1) are unfamiliar w/public record 2) operate in bad faith.

Is there going to be a shelf life on how you long you can invoke "the public record" notwithstanding the absence of actual charges or substantiated claims that support your theories?

Aaron. I just pointed out that you're such a clown that you don't understand that the public record supports my side, not yours. I'm not going to hold your hand explaining that again, you're not acting in good faith.

No. You can read the hundreds of posts I've written that actually rely on the public record though. I'm well beyond the point where Aaron merits my time.

Yes. http://emptywheel.net . The last 2 years. Sorry. I've written far more than Aaron, so it's harder to catch up than with his few little pieces.
