Trump: I never met George Papadopoulos








Before Trump tweets that he didn't know Papadopoulos -- convicted for lying about Russian ties --
here's what Trump said last March








Papadopoulos is described as "proactive cooperator." Former prosecutor tells me that sometimes means "wore a wire."

The Plumbers came to include several Watergate figures. E. Howard Hunt was recommended by Charles Colson, and G. Gordon Liddy was recommended by Egil Krogh. Liddy coined his own sensitivity indicator for the group in the form of "ODESSA".[3]
Some authors believe CIA officer John Paisley was a member of the Plumbers. Paisley was assigned to the CIA's Office of Security, of which Nixon campaign security coordinator and Watergate burglar James McCord was once a member. On August 9, 1971, David Young's memo indicates he met with Paisley and OS Director Howard Osborn, in which Paisley provided a list of objectives for the Special Investigations Unit.[4]

Wouldn't surprise if he did, and claimed this photo was "fake news." His acolytes would believe him - they'll believe anything he says.

After all, that may very well be the guy who will bring down the entire presidency.

He keeps saying he has never known a lot of other people the moment things start getting hairy. then all of a sudden he is standing up for the person he has never met before. I am surprised he has not said he does not know Kushner.

He demands loyalty from his minions above all else, but as soon as things go a tiny bit south, his loyalty dries up and blows away in the wind. Maybe everyone who's thinking of offering loyalty to Trump should take a really close look at that and tell him to shove his loyalty up is bright orange ass.

Huckleberry tried to assert that Drumpf didn't "remember" any of the conversation during the meeting in that photo (since he can no longer deny ever "meeting" him). But now the guy is being considered a "volunteer" for a "volunteer committee" that had nothing to do with the campaign.

Because, depending on which ideograms (Kanji) are used you could translate name that as "Swamp Water"

Of course Trump comes out and says he didn't have a clue who that person was. Then TMZ has a VIDEO of the guy standing right behind Trump at one of the golf outings.

ROFLMMFAO!!!
