There is also the difference that Clinton and co. were dealing with Fusion GPS, a US entity, and not Steele directly. Also Steele was hired to do work for Fusion GPS, and not pedaling a product to them. So not a foreign national trying to influence things.
Seriously? How dumb was this guy?

We’ve seen that when this question is asked of Trump associates, the answer tends to be, “Maximally dumb.”
The guy surrounds himself with idiots and charlatans, because that’s what he himself is.

That’s a hell of a footnote.
I honestly think this is a good part of the issue in the whole administration, not just Trump. I actually think he’s been duped time and again by people with good elevator pitches. This in turn has led to him becoming so horribly informed on the country and the world, which when paired with a profound lack of a moral compass leads to the mess we currently have.
All the people who talked to Papadopoulos after that date are probably changing their underwear right about now.
He’s a narcissist and an idiot, but he’s smart enough to know when someone else is smarter than him. The solution is to surround himself with people who aren’t smarter than him.
This does not bode well for the Republic.

The schadenfraude is so delicious on this one. I eat it up with a nice Chianti and some fava beans.
Press conference by the WH some time today. Can’t wait to set that idiot Huckabee trying to deflect … “but her emails!” as her boss’s house burns down.
The fact that Papadouche might have worn a wire for months is the cherry on top of this Monday morning Sundae.

The AP is pointing out that, if convicted of all crimes not counting additional charges in the future, Manafort is facing up to 80 years in prison and millions of dollars in fines. And he’s 68 right now! I know I would hate to spend half my life in prison, get out at 150 years young, and start over.
I realize that these dummies are all Fredos, but Papadopoulos seems like the Fredo-est of all. Peak Fredo. Mega-Fredo.

Does the Papadopoulos stuff confirm more of what’s in the Steele dossier?

The White House staff is probably playing hide and seek with his phone in the West Wing right this minute.
