George Papadopoulos, the Trump foreign policy aide who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, initially misled agents out of what he claimed was loyalty to President Donald Trump, according to a person with direct knowledge of the investigation.

Trump had publicly denied that there had been any contact between his campaign and Russian officials, and Papadopoulos did not want to contradict the official line, the source said.

Its all fake news, Trump said of any alleged connections in January. Its phony stuff. It didnt happen.

Papadopoulos met with the FBI agents investigating those alleged ties shortly thereafter, and he later acknowledged that he lied during that meeting about the timing of certain contacts.

According to federal court filings, Papadopoulos initially claimed his contacts with a professor who had deep ties in Russia occurred before he became an adviser to the campaign.

In truth and in fact, the filings read, the professor only took interest in defendant Papadopoulos because of his status with the Campaign.

I honestly can't understand being loyal to Trump when he has a history of screwing over people loyal to him, remember Scaramoochi aka The Mooch? The guy threw everything away to go to bat for Trump and Trump dropped in in less than 2 weeks. Trump has even screwed over his own sons, the man only rewards his daughter whole sell.

Drugs? Money? Hookers? Power? All the above with the possibly of being completely pardoned by his corrupt boss once caught anyway?
