Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostYes. I suspect what MM is getting at here is that Papadopoulos appears to have been working independently (so, not actually directed by the campaign) and that meeting with foreign government officials is not equivalent to colluding (though meeting obviously enables collusion); further, he was not actually successful in arranging a meeting, so... no collusion.Last edited by Roy; 09-26-2018, 09:12 AM.Jorge: Functional Complex Information is INFORMATION that is complex and functional.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostPapadopoulos was indicted for making false statements to the FBI. Period.What those false statements happened to be about is irrelevant because he wasn't charged with anything other than making a false statement.
Claiming that the indictment had nothing to do with the Trump campaign or Russian government agents because "Papadopoulos was indicted for making false statements to the FBI. Period." is like claiming that OJ Simpson's indictment had nothing to do with Nicole Simpson because OJ Simpson was indicted for "Murder. Period".
The Trump campaign and attempting meetings with Russian government agents were specifically mentioned in the indictment.Last edited by Roy; 09-26-2018, 09:14 AM.Jorge: Functional Complex Information is INFORMATION that is complex and functional.

By definition a formal charge, which he was facing, relates to a crime or an action or omission that "constitutes an offence that may be prosecuted by the state and is punishable by law".Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostAs I've explained to you before, it doesn't work that way. If you're trying to get the little fish to flip then you charge him with the big crime, get his guilty plea on record in exchange for a reduced sentence, and then use his guilty plea as evidence to go after the big fish. That Mueller was forced to settle for a nothing-burger process crime, and that Papa was given the lightest of sentences despite Mueller's protests, is not good news for his "mandate".
