Interesting addition to all of this: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/trumps-former-foreign-policy-adviser-pleads-guilty-to-lying-about-contact-with-russians/article/2638962
Quote:A former foreign policy advisor for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign pleaded guilty weeks ago to making false statements to the FBI as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe.
According to court documents released Monday, George Papadopoulos, 30, pleaded guilty to making “material false statements and material omissions” during an interview with the FBI in January as part of its investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign.
The document said Papadopoulos "lied to special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, concerning a federal investigation... about the timing, extent, and nature of his relationships and interactions with certain foreign nationals whom he understood to have close connections with senior Russian government officials."
The news of Papadopoulos’ admission comes as Mueller unveiled two indictments of Trump associates on Monday: former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his business partner and so-called protégé Rick Gates.
Yeah. This is where the conspiracy net widens. A LOT. pic.twitter.com/yw6e2DyHYe
