Ex-Trump staffer claimed campaign approved meeting with Russian officials: report

Former Trump campaign staffer George Papadopoulos claimed in an email to a Russian contact that top campaign officials had approved a meeting between campaign officials and representatives of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Bloomberg News reported Tuesday.

Papadopoulos sent an email to the Russian contact a week before the Republican National Convention in the summer of 2016, saying a meeting between campaign staffers and Russian officials “has been approved by our side," according to Bloomberg.



He reportedly suggested in the email that the meeting take place in August or September in the United Kingdom and that “my national chairman and maybe one other foreign policy adviser” attend, along with members of Putin's office and Russia's foreign ministry.

The email was not included in the court documents revealing that Papadopoulos had pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators about his contact with Russian officials, but was in an FBI affidavit about criminal charges against the former staffer, according to Bloomberg.

A supervisor in the Trump campaign had told Papadoppoulos to make a trip to Russia "if it is feasible" to take a meeting with Russian officials, according to court documents. Though the meeting in question never actually took place.

The Washington Post late Monday identified the campaign official who encouraged him to set up the meeting as Sam Clovis, Trump's nominee for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Clovis’s lawyer Victoria Toensing told the Post that Clovis “always vigorously opposed any Russian trip for Donald Trump and/or the campaign” and described Clovis’s statements to Papadopoulos as him “being polite.”

This reeks of, "We're not so innocent either"

Also a talking point of that bigot I encountered while volunteering. He said he loves Drumpf's tweeting, and I mentioned that whether I come to work or volunteer I dress up and am a professional. This dude has the highest post in the country and no professionalism and is a poor role model. He then starts going on and on about how other presidents like Kennedy and FDR werent role models either. Basically what SHS says here.

Also reeks of the magic R. Let's pause for a second and imagine Obama or his speaker say anything like that. How long would Fox run that story for. In this post-apocalyptic world we're in, it's just a tweet we read and move on from.
 
Where the heck did this come from?

I thought I was following the thread fairly coherent then there’s that guys bizzaro post.

There is 1 true victim in all of this..

Someone needs to update this and change the name to the giant cheeto.. im sure one of his fanboys can help him out.. worst case I've heard the Russians know their way around a computer
