First of all, I would love George to learn how to make coffee because its absolutely out of his skills, she told ABC in an interview that published Friday. George is a remarkable young man with incredible experience in the field of energy and oil policies. This experience led him to get into the campaign and to advise the President at only 28-years-old.She said Papadopoulos set up meetings all over the world and was constantly in touch with higher level officials in the campaign. She said she has seen emails between her fiancé and former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon and former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was also charged last week with one count of lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian officials.
He never took any initiative, as far as I know, unauthorized, she said. He never took any initiative without the blessing of the campaign.

The court records did not identify the professor, but Mangiante identified him as Joseph Mifsud, whom both she and Papadopoulos have worked for in the past. She told ABC News that they met last year after Papadopoulos reached out to her on LinkedIn because of their connection over Mifsud.
I know (Mifsud) was interested in George because he was working for Trump, she said.
She said getting interviewed by the FBI caught Papadopoulos out of the blue and she thought he didnt think it was a big deal at the time.
As soon as he find out that he committed a mistake, he took responsibility for that and he passed to the right side of history, in my view, she said, adding that she received a subpoena from Mueller on the same day Papadopoulos plead guilty to the FBI. It was very brave because he has been the first one and he is helping a lot. I think he has been the first domino in Russia-gate.

has a different context than first I read. In the first I thought she was saying Pop was on right side of history supporting Trump. Apparently she meant he was on right side after his come to Mueller meeting. Glad she came forward. Just more truth being manifested.
