I think Papadopoulos is the one who gave up the other two. Apparently he was arrested in July, plead guilty to lying about not trying to arrange meetings between the Trump campaign and the Rooskies. The FBI has cut some deal with him.

The message seems to be "Cooperate with me, come clean, give me information, and I'll go easy on you. Hold out on me and I will destroy you."

Just heard that they are calling popadopolous a "proactive witness".

That is generally someone who has agreed to wear a wire.

There must be a lot of nervous people in Washington today - including the idjit in the White House tweeting allcaps hysterical rants

Hell throw Hillary and the Clinton Foundation to the wolves.

... It ain't gonna be pretty
Is THAT the only (and repetitive ) defense you have for Trumps conduct and what the investigation will be revealing.??


It is getting more than tiresome to hear the trupopeles bring up Hillary instead of dealing with the current revelations. Using Trump style diversionary tactics ain't gonna work.


When it becomes about Hilary.....then we will deal with it.

Just heard the same thing. ;-) Washington has not been a calm place since trump moved in.......but now the tensions are are probably at a higher pitch.

Very impressed With Meuller and how he is handling this. Suspect that no stone will be left unturned. no matter what comes out from beneath the rocks.

Am I to understand that there won't be an impeachment this week?

We'll keep you posted. It will take a while, probably, for the Judases to crawl out oft the woodwork. Trump is pretty mean to those under him and a stampede of disaffected "fireds" that know things is likely to come rolling in to the FBI offices, sometime soon. A good chunk of the GOP want to see him go because a real Republican will become President as they haul him away in manacles.

Speakin' of da Mooch, ...

This US news media story is being used by CBC and other news media as a cover to keep them from having to report on Canadian Liberal conflict of interest by thre or four Liberal ministers.

similar to the setup that has landed Finance Minister Bill Morneau in hot water, despite the blessing of the federal ethics commissioner.

Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc, Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould and Infrastructure Minister Amarjeet Sohi are using so-called conflict-of-interest screens, a step short of the blind-trust gold standard for politicians seeking to avoid the sort of controversy Morneau now finds himself in.

While you try to deflect and distract with your usual strawman arguments. You and Rummy should get a room.

This is a "nothing" story, nothing for US folks and even less for any Canadian with intelligence.

Only a loser like you would try to deflect Liberal wrongdoing from getting attention.

Fool!!

It's a Yanky story ya moron. Has nothing to do with Canada. I couldn't care less about politics in any country. It is a game played by idiots who think we live in a democracy. We don't and neither do the Yanks. Politics is the distraction so you don't pay attention to what our owners, the oligarchs, are doing to screw us up the Hershey Bar Road. But you are a good little sheeple and keep the other sheeple distracted with you hatred and ignorance.
