http://www.newsweek.com/michael-hayden-donald-trump-russia-vladamir-putin-paul-manafort-george-702085?amp=1White House scandals have a way of turning nobodies into unfortunate somebodies. So it was 45 years ago in October with Donald Segretti, whom The Washington Post exposed as a major cog in a White House dirty tricks program to destroy Maine Senator Ed Muskie, the leading Democratic candidate for president. Segrettis reported role added startling new context to what became known as the Watergate scandal. It showed that the June 1972 break-in of the Democratic National Committee was part of a much larger campaign of surveillance and sabotage against targets on President Richard Nixons enemies listfrom reporters to liberal think tanks to dissident government officials like Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers.
Now comes George Papadopoulos, another nobody whose name could soon be memorialized on a Trivial Pursuit card for political scandals. The 30-year-old was yet another enabler in the Kremlins multipronged campaign to destroy Hillary Clinton, according to the grand jury indictment unsealed by special counsel Robert Mueller on October 30. Donald Trump once called Papadopoulos, his former foreign policy adviser, an excellent guy, but now dismisses him as a low-level volunteer and a liar.

via the wire he wore for three months. Will we ever find out?

At some point if recordings exist, parties will be allowed to listen with an offer to do the right thing. Those meeting should be epic.

in the Trump camp would also like to know what Mueller learned.

(51,626 posts)5. I have a feeling that a lot of staffers are getting very drunk
and putting their personal affairs in order this weekend. They should be buying a lot of Jack Daniel's and Xanax in bulk...they are going to need it.
