WASHINGTON (AP) — How did George Nader — Lebanese-American businessman, globe-trotting "fixer," convicted child molester — get caught up in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation?

His long history included intrepid back-channel mediation between Israel and Arab countries — and a 15-year-old pedophilia conviction in Europe that has not been previously reported. But Mueller, in his investigation of President Donald Trump, his campaign and possible wrongdoing connected to Russia, is focused on Nader's role in two high-level get-togethers after the presidential election, according to three people familiar with the case.

Nader was caught in Mueller's web a few days before the anniversary of Trump's inauguration. He was transiting through Dulles International Airport outside Washington, on his way to Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, when his plans changed — abruptly and involuntarily.

No early morning sneaky arrests in the dark. I want them bathed in camera lights and cuffs. NO, turn yourself in OR we will come get you. Go gettem first. Traitors are not tRUMP white collar criminals they are worse than any drug cartel or pimp.

It appears to invite the conclusion that the investigation is stooping to getting people with low morals and a shady history to cooperate, when the truth is that those people with low morals and a shady history are actually associates of 45*.

It was revealed months ago he carved up a man in a bar with the stem of a Margarita glass in New York years ago, and served time for that.

His pedophile background is the new information just uncovered.

or as soon as this bit of info was divulged, that this is the stick Mueller held over his head to get him to cooperate.
