KEY: On or about 3/31/16 defendant Papadopoulos attended Mtg with then-candidate Trump & stated...
Theres a key passage in the Papadopoulos plea agreement that I dont think has gotten a lot of attention yet.
With Trump and Sessions there, according to the plea, Papadopoulos told the group he had connections that could help arrange a meeting between then-candidate Trump and President Putin. Thats not against the law in itself. It is bizarre to think that a presidential candidate would travel abroad to meet with the President of Russia during a campaign. But theres no law against it. This is a key fact because
Papadopoulos seems to have given a little speech about what he was up to and what he could do in a small meeting with Trump and Sessions themselves. This happened one week after Papadopoulos had met in London with as yet unnamed people who he knew had close ties with the Russian government. This is very significant.
