He has been mocked by President Trump as a ?low level volunteer? and ?proven to be a liar.?

But the fiancee of George Papadopoulos, the former Trump campaign adviser who pleaded guilty in October to lying to the FBI about his Russia contacts and is cooperating with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, says he is being miscast.

?I believe history will remember him like John Dean,? said Italian-born Simona Mangiante, referring to the former White House counsel who pleaded guilty to his role in the Watergate coverup and then became a key witness against other aides to President Richard Nixon.

Mangiante said she was advised by Papadopoulos?s lawyers not to answer specific questions about his activities during the 2016 presidential campaign or what he has told the FBI.

But she indicated in an interview that she believes he ultimately will emerge as more than a bit player in the Russia probe ? and that his decision to cooperate after he was arrested getting off an airplane at Dulles International Airport in July was a key turning point.

Without offering specifics, Mangiante said there is much more that has not yet been told publicly about Papadopoulos? 10 months as an informal national security adviser to Trump and his interactions with a London-based professor who told Papadopoulos, according to court filings, that the Russians had ?dirt? on Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

?There?s a lot to come,? she said. ?He was the first one to break a hole on all of this.?

She said Papadopoulos was not a ?coffee boy,? as he was once tagged by former Trump adviser Michael Caputo, a nickname she found especially galling. ?I know what it means as a young person to do all the efforts you do to build your career and be dismissed as a coffee boy,? she said.

I wonder if... He was the link between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. We already know he was talking to a Russian agent in England, and that they had told him they had Clinton's emails... Is it possible that is the tip of the iceberg?

Imagine if this is true and he is the link.

Whatever it is he's been talking. A lot.

Now imagine that he was the link between the Trump Campaign and the Russian government, and during the course of the investigation they found all kinds of money laundering with Trump and Kushner.

Drip. Drip. Drip.

It's a nothing burger though right?

The Mueller team just asked the sentencing judge in the George Papadopoulos case to delay his sentencing for 3 months.

Michael Flynn, the former National Security Adviser who also pleaded guilty in December to lying to investigators, doesn't have a date for his sentencing, either.

These guys are flipping on Trump more than a fish out of water.

Trump's a cuck and surrounds himself with scumbags and when you lie with dogs you get flees.

OneHungLo

Or imagine yourself sitting in the looney bin wrapped in a straitjacket as Trump closes out his presidency in 2024

OneHungLo

Let's just say your dumb ass hypothetical here is right, why would he rat out Trump when you know Trump would just immediately pardon him anyways?

slapass

Pardon the coffee boy? They would then have lied.

RedFred

Theory?

3 more months of the Mueller investigation? Papadopoulos filing signals it's likely


Do you think it's normal for Federal prosecutors to ask judges to delay sentencing? Only one reason to do that. These guys pleaded guilty months ago, so much for Trump 'immediately' pardoning them.

OneHungLo

It's actually a common practice and there could be a million-and-one reasons why. Could he be spilling the beans on something? Sure that's possible, along with a million other reasons why. But answer my question - why would he rat out Trump when he knows he could just keep his mouth shut, plead guilty and get pardoned? As far as I know pardoning erases the crime from your record.

Of course they are singing.

The evidence against them is staggering. Say what you want about law enforcement, but they are pretty damn smart. They have every email, every text; They have everything the Russians said behind their back. The FBI knows exactly who hacked what. When confronted with this someone like George Papadopoulos has zero defense. Defending himself in court would cost millions of dollars.

Hope Hicks is going to be in big trouble too.

Even if Trump serves out his four year term, there is no guarantee anyone would get a pardon. Trump has a habit of dumping everyone who supports him eventually.

Then again, Trump could be kicked out of office too.

States charges can be filed in New York and can't be pardoned. Don't forget that Papadopoulos is the reason Trump is being investigated and he's the first the FBI tagged & bagged with valuable information.

You're very fragmented on the basic dynamics of this investigation.

Report: Papadopoulos Sparked Russia Investigation

"It all began, as so many memorable tales do, with a night of ?heavy drinking at an upscale London bar.? It was May of 2016, and Papadopoulos was knocking back some Pimm?s cups (we can only imagine) with Australia?s top diplomat in the U.K. when he decided to divulge some very interesting information: Russia was in possession of damaging information about Hillary Clinton.

Exactly how much Mr. Papadopoulos said that night at the Kensington Wine Rooms with the Australian, Alexander Downer, is unclear. But two months later, when leaked Democratic emails began appearing online, Australian officials passed the information about Mr. Papadopoulos to their American counterparts, according to four current and former American and foreign officials with direct knowledge of the Australians? role."
