George Papadopoulos, the Trump foreign policy aide who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, initially misled agents out of what he claimed was loyalty to President Donald Trump, according to a person with direct knowledge of the investigation.

Trump had publicly denied that there had been any contact between his campaign and Russian officials, and Papadopoulos did not want to contradict the official line, the source said.

“It’s all fake news,” Trump said of any alleged connections in January. “It’s phony stuff. It didn’t happen.”

Papadopoulos met with the FBI agents investigating those alleged ties shortly thereafter, and he later acknowledged that he lied during that meeting about the timing of certain contacts.

15. Lol!

Thanks for that great graphic!

2. Anyone willing to stand by Donald J Trump and try to protect him out of "loyalty" will quickly learn

....that Trump has no loyalty and will turn on anyone to protect himself.

3. Lesson to Turd's henchmen: Cover your own ass. Throw Turd under the bus.

It's your only hope!

4. Why do we have to tell these people what to do all the damn time?

Why would this guy ever think Trump has any loyalty to him?

My mind is boggled over what goes on in their treasonous, pointy little skulls.

5. He hires the best people! The best!

8. Because each one of these boils on the but of humanity thinks

they are special. Yes, Conman Trump screwed over everyone he has ever dealt with. But I am special. He won't do it to me.
To quote Bugs Bunny, " What a maroon."

6. any lies to FBI & even your local police-will bite you in the ass.

Surprised the Republican party experienced Leadership didn't 'assist' or 'advise' their presidential candidate/THEIR President- AT ALL about this detail.

seems to me, those big experienced Republicans played trump like a fool for years- for some reason?

7. He's a fool. tRump does not return loyalty & that was obvious at the start of his campaign. . . nt

Papadopoulos lied to FBI in "an apparent case of blind loyalty to protect Donald Trump,” ABC News reports, and is “upset the man he tried to protect is now trying to distance himself.” http://abcn.ws/2yO3jER

10. It's what we've been saying all along about master grifter tRump

[Mr. Ected]

12. It's not a surprise that he initially lied, to protect Trump but also to protect his own ass

The point of this story, though, is that Georgie's feewings are now hurt. No more loyalty. A confidante-turned-informant.

This is how the whole Trump gang is going to go down. There's no such thing as a Loyalty Oath once the recipient declines to support the oathgiver.
