Why is Mrs. Papadopoulos on tv right now?

How does she think she is helping him? Don't these people have a decent lawyer who tried to stop this?

This is the most bizarre thing I have ever seen.

She also thinks that George Papadopoulos is the one person most deserving of a pardon in "this Witch Hunt."

I don't think he has really cooperated all that much, and now they're going to try to fight against jail time.

Lock him up!

Looks like her main point was to beg Shitler for a pardon for her worthless, treasonous husband.

She looks, acts and sounds like a hopped up Russian honey trap.

Good looking.

Like a younger version of Melania, except Italian instead of Slovenian

So.... I'm sure Trump would welcome the opportunity.

10. She's trying to raise money and get sympathy from rightwing conspiracy theorists

While never explaining why he lied to FBI about his contacts with Mifsud, she is spreading the rightwing version of what happened regarding Papadopoulos- that he was a naive pawn of UK and US intelligence set up by Mifsud who they say was UK intelligence, not Russian spy and Stefan Halper, the FBI source looking into Trump campaign/Russian collusion. Rightwingers claim Mifsud and Halper set up Papadopoulos to make it look like there was collusion in order to discredit Trump campaign and get the witch hunt started.


She seems to be hoping that she can raise money and get a rightwing lawyer to get George out of a prison sentence by claiming in court that he was set up. Unfortunately he lied about his Mifsud contacts by falsely claiming he was not involved with Trump campaign at time of initial Mifsud contact, so even if he was set up, he has not been truthful or cooperative so he will not be vindicated, but maybe she will be successful in scamming some gullible folks for money.

13. Is the Mrs. an attorney?

I thought I heard her say that she advised George to get out of the agreement. Does she have some legal understanding that he does not? And does she understand American law?

Just curious what made her qualified to advise him on such serious matters. One would think a guy in his predicament would want a highly skilled lawyer with a thorough understanding of American laws and the legal system. Maybe she has that.
