Investigation Findings
The findings on Papadopoulos are solid. This makes his claim harder to ignore or deny.
Reports indicated that Papadopoulos was vetted to really learn who was. It was observed that his resume was false.
That resume landed him a job on Trump’s campaign team. Even after it was clear that what he claimed was false he continued to work for Trump.
It is also clear that he was instrumental in the relationship between Trump and Putin.
J.D. Gordon said “I was surprised to learn what George Papadopoulos was up to during the campaign. He obviously went to great lengths to go around me and Sen. Sessions.”
Gordon is a former Pentagon spokesman and Trump National Security Adviser.
Up to that time Papadopoulos was still invited to campaign events. Papadopoulos spoke of Trump’s desire to have Russia as an ally.
A video showed just how much Trump thought of Papadopoulos. Papadopoulos gave a comment after a meeting Trump had with Yossi Dagan. In an effort to form greater ties with Israel.
Papadopoulos said “we had an excellent meeting with Yossi and we hope that the people of Judea and Samaria” — the name used by the Israeli right for the West Bank — “will have a great 2017.”
Yossi Dagan was the leader of the West Bank settler movement.
It seemed clear cut that Papadopoulos couldn’t be a low level player at the time. Mueller may still have more to reveal so we have to wait.
Time will tell what this all leads to.
