CNN Who is George Papadopoulos? or What a low level coffee boy did in 2016

http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/30/politics/who-is-george-papadopoulos/index.html

The statement from Mueller says that Papadopoulos falsely claimed he met with an overseas professor before joining the Trump campaign in March 2016 about "the Russians possessing "dirt" on Hillary Clinton in the form of "thousands of emails."

At that point, however, he was already working for the Trump campaign -- the professor only took interest in Papadopoulos because of his status on the campaign, according to the statement. The professor told Papadopoulos about the Russians possessing dirt on Clinton in late April, and the statement says that "he repeatedly sought to use the professor's Russian connections to arrange a meeting between the campaign and Russian government officials."

Papadopoulos also met with a Russian woman in March 2016 along with the professor, according to the statement, and he relayed that information to the campaign.

During a March 31, 2016, foreign policy meeting with Trump and other campaign foreign policy advisers, Papadopoulos introduced himself to the group and stated "he had connections that could help arrange a meeting between then-candidate Trump and President Putin," according a factual statement signed by Papadopoulos in connection with his guilty plea.

And who is that @ the other end of the table from Trump?

Jeffy Bo Sessions. Who I have no doubt was and is a Russian asset.

@ the end of the day Mueller is up against the largest world wide criminal
enterprise in history. A world wide mob operation if there was ever one.
