Trump adviser Papadopoulos in trouble

The white house alongside her noble occupants is beginning to feel the pangs of anxiety once again given the latest revelations by the FBI over the Russian collusion case. Events took a dramatic turn Monday, Oct 30th, when special counsel Robert Mueller uncover the unexpected following the Russian investigations. The FBI who took a swipe on three of Trump's  men reveals shocking statements, linking all three to crimes punishable by the authorities.

George Papadopoulos. Former Advisor at Donald J Trump for President
Earlier on Monday, the FBI charged a former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort alongside his longtime business partner Rick Gates over allegations of illicit acquisition of wealth through foreign personnel, laundering, providing false statements. Both Manafort and Rick Gates where active participants of the Trump team during the campaign. While Manafort was campaign manager, Gates took the position of a deputy campaign manager before he was later made a foreign adviser in the Trump government. 

Charges of conspiracy against the United States, money laundering, being an unregistered foreign agent and seven counts of failing to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts, were all the case provided as the duo pleaded not guilty.   

Given these spoiling revelations, the white house through her press secretary Sarah Sanders said the issues at stake, had nothing to do with the white house and as such didn't show much of an apprehension. For them, this allegation occurred before the duo became part of the Trump team at the campaign level. 

Sorry, but this is years ago before Paul Manafort was part of the Trump campaign. But why aren't Crooked Hillary & the Dems the focus?????
However, this happiness and moments of reprieve couldn't be allowed to spread through the checks and chins of all when the FBI through her prosecuting' teams confirm one George Papadoupolous guilty of crimes as related to the Russian collusion case.  

According to the FBI, he was later granted bargaining chips which would earn him a six months jail term as against the legal six-year worth jail term for such a felonious crime. The FBI team said Papadopoulos was on a proactive investigation, 

In court documents unsealed Monday, Papadopoulos plea guilty to withholding sensitive information from federal authorities.George "falsely described his interactions with a certain foreign contact who discussed 'dirt' related to emails" belonging to former secretary of states and candidates of the democratic party at the 2016 election. 

In May, Papadopoulos wrote an email to a high ranking official of the Trump campaign team requesting same that Russia will like to meet with the then-candidate Trump. The email was forwarded to one official to the other as contained in the FBI statements presented to the federal court.  "We need someone to communicate that DT is not doing these trips. It should be someone low level in the campaign so as not to send any signal," the email read.   

Also contained in an affidavit, a reference to a July 2016 meeting in which Papadopoulos made the reach with a foreign contact in which the recipient was Manafort. Mueller also indicated that the ex-foreign policy adviser to Donald Trump on March 2016, contacted a woman believed to be the niece of President Vladimir Putin, though the facts here are contestable as regards whether she is actually a relation or not. 

 The statement also says that Papadopoulos falsely claimed he met with an overseas professor before joining the Trump campaign about "the Russians possessing 'dirt' on then-candidate Hillary Clinton in the form of 'thousands of emails.'" 

With these shocking analysis made by special counsel Robert Mueller, the Trump white house no doubt have since remained on the edge. No one knows who will be going next on the radar of the FBI with the Russian meddling as a focal point. 

The Papadopoulos case no doubt is a big extension to the Russian probe which started a year ago immediately after the Nov. 8 election that saw Donald Trump getting a clean sweep of the electoral college.
