This whole thing is about to snowball though. This is just the beginning not the end.

Snowball to what? A few more people being indicted with loose ties to Trump? Wooooooo, scary.

Snowball to Frosty he'll be back again sometime !

Let's not pretend

why not... you're pretending voicing your opinion on one of the most obscure and least visited forums on the internet matters.

not just you of course... we all argue with each other like there is some hidden audience of judges scoring points and deciding the winner of each round...

trump won and accomplished the only goals I had for him which were beating hillary and making obama look bad...

/handwave
so you can go ahead take him away now... I'm done with him

So I just read the Papadopoulos DoJ statement.

Wow.

Quote:

>**II. Timeline of Selected Events**
>PAPADOPOULOS's Role on the Campaign
4. In early March 2016, defendant PAPADOPOULOS learned he would be a foreign
policy advisor for the Campaign. Defendant PAPADOPOULOS was living in London, England,
at the time. Based on a conversation that took place on or about March 6, 2016, with a
supervisory campaign official (the "Campaign Supervisor"), defendant PAPADOPOULOS
understood that a principal foreign policy focus of the Campaign was an improved U.S.
relationship with Russia.

>**PAPADOPOULOS 's Introduction to the Professor and the Female Russian National**
>5. On or about March 14, 2016, while traveling in Italy, defendant
PAPADOPOULOS met an individual who was a professor based in London (the "Professor").
Initially, the Professor seemed uninterested in defendant PAPADOPOULOS. However, after
defendant PAPADOPOULOS infonned the Professor about his joining the Campaign, the
Professor appeared to take great interest in defendant PAPADOPOULOS. Defendant
PAPADOPOULOS was interested in the Professor because, among other reasons, the Professor
claimed to have substantial connections with Russian government officials, which defendant
PAPADOPOULOS thought could increase his importance as a policy advisor to the Campaign.
>6. On or about March 21, 2016, the Campaign told The Washington Post that
defendant PAPADOPOULOS was one of five named foreign policy advisors for the Campaign.
>7. On or about March 24, 2016, defendant PAPADOPOULOS met with the
Professor in London. **The Professor brought with him a female Russian national (the "Female
Russian National"), introduced to defendant PAPADOPOULOS as a relative of Russian
President Vladimir Putin with connections to senior Russian government officials.**

Also note: Podesta's email credentials were stolen in a phishing attack on March 19, 2016, less than a week before Papadopolous met with with his Russian contacts.

Quote:

> **9. On or about March 31, 2016, defendant PAPADOPOULOS attended a "national security meeting" in Washington, D.C., with then-candidate Trump and other foreign policy advisors for the Campaign. When defendant PAPADOPOULOS introduced himself to the group, he stated, in sum and substance, that he had connections that could help arrange a meeting between then-candidate Trump and President Putin**

> **10. After his trip to Washington, D.C., defendant PAPADOPOULOS worked with the
Professor and the Female Russian National to arrange a meeting between the Campaign and the
Russian government, and took steps to advise the Campaign of his progress.**

TLDR: In the DoJ's summary statement of the confession he straightup admits to constant communication with a Russian National who identified herself as Putin's niece and was trying to get HRC's stolen emails from her.

All Twitter needs to do is point to their TOS and that'd end the lawsuit. I wonder if anyone told Stone about that.
Pretty much.

I wouldn’t say that but the statement is pretty damning if it’s all 100% true.

I'd post Maria Sharapova pics but they probably classify as PG 13 when the average user here is merely PG.

I'll say a kind word at your funeral when Putin has you shot by a shadowy figure on a bridge somewhere.

On the real though, one thing that stands out to me on these indictments is, both Manafort and Gates pled guilty today and Papadopoulos admitted to lying today. This complete cooperation happened kinda fast, how do we know these three aren't going to start spilling guts?

Hmm, last I saw they pled guilty but now it's coming out they are pleading not guilty.
