The Italian fiancee of George Papadopoulos offered the first public defense of the embattled former Trump campaign adviser, who in October was revealed as the first campaign adviser to plead guilty and cooperate with the special counsel’s Russia probe.

“George is very loyal to his country,” Simona Mangiante told ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos in an exclusive interview. “He is already on the right side of history. I think he will make a big difference.”

Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and has agreed to cooperate with the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign. He is due to be sentenced in January.

Mangiante said she decided to speak publicly to counter claims from President Donald Trump and his aides that Papadopoulos was, as Trump tweeted, a “young, low level volunteer.” Or in the words of campaign adviser Michael Caputo, a “coffee boy.”

9. That's the more astonishing factoid.

Would the Republicans easily confuse espionage and election theft with patriotism? Every day. Would they abandon their own and publicly throw them to the wolves to protect themselves? Every day.

But someone using LinkedIn for anything??? That's not something you see every day.

5. He failed in his patriotism, he should have called the FBI

8. being thrown under a bus sucks...

it really sucks when you have been a loyal team player and are thrown under the bus
by a person you believed in but turns out to have no moral character.

true believers think those above would not do anything that would get the underling in a world of hurt.

sorry about that
