Trump: Papadopoulos Pleas, Manafort, Gates Indicted
A Smoking Gun?
Today, it was revealed that Ex Trump campaign adviser Papadopolus rolled over with a plea bargain, way back on October 5th for lying to the FBI about alleged collusion with Russian Intelligence.
On September 26th, Senator Blumenthal tipped the hat over a MONTH ago that Manafort, Flynn and others were 99% sure to be indicted.
Way back in February, we Nattered about the nuances of exactly how a potential In-Flynn-eration might occur in The President's Analyst - Flynn Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest?
The Manafort, Gates and Papadopoulos docs are must reading. Let's take a look at a snipet from Papadopoulos statement of offense.
Trump Aide's have the DT's?
Could Papadopoulos have been just young, dumb and over eager? Based on what WaPo was allowed to see, that was the spin at the time. Will the indictments of Manafort, Gates and perhaps others shed any light on this? TBD.
For those of us old enough to remember, as late as June 1974, just two months prior to Nixon's August 9th resignation, 66% of the country thought the press was out to get Tricky Dick, with 49% of the voters, telling pollsters the whole thing was "just politics."
Fully remembering those days of yore, I first lay eyes on Mimsy on August 9th, 1974. Mimsy being in the venacular of Lewis Caroll's Jabberwocky,
Below, what some former and perhaps current Team Trump member statements for immunity might read like? TBD.
As was with Nixon's Watergate crew, might some eventually be going down like this?
I don't know but I'll tell ya TBD. Scary times indeed, Happy Halloween.

19. On or about May 21, 2016, defendant PAPADOPOULOS emailed another highranking Campaign official, with the subject line "Request from Russia to meet Mr. Trump." The email included the May 4 MF A Email and added: "Russia has been eager to meet Mr. Trump for quite sometime and have been reaching out to me to discuss."2

2 The government notes that the official forwarded defendant PAPADOPOULOS's emailto another Campaign official (without including defendant PAPADOPOULOS) and stated: "Let[']s discuss. 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."It gets better or worse depending how you look at it, from Page 8 on. Let's see what WaPo said back in August about Papadopoulos and some of those emails....

All mimsy were the borogovesMimsy: (whence ‘mimserable’) flimsy and miserable, unhappy. Almost as dark as post JFK, the state of the union [post Nixon] was indeed sad and unhappy. Is history going to repeat itself?
