Former Trump adviser George Papadopolous’ newly-released plea agreement is littered with the redacted names of other campaign officials he allegedly informed about his efforts to hook them up with Russian nationals, making prosecutors’ claims rather hard to follow.
TPM’s design team has gone through the document and plugged in the missing names of those senior campaign staffers, as identified by the Washington Post, to make it easier to parse.
Per the Post’s reporting, the “high-ranking campaign official” was former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski; “another high-ranking campaign official” was campaign chairman Paul Manafort; “another campaign official” was chairman Manafort’s deputy Rick Gates. The “campaign supervisor” was campaign co-chair and policy adviser Sam Clovis, as his attorney confirmed to the newspaper. And one “senior policy advisor” referenced in the document has yet to be identified.
Check out TPM’s annotated document below:
A nice start, but I’m just waiting to see “Donald Trump” in red letters inserted into many beautiful (the best) future state and federal indictments.
Legality Mad Libs!
I’m sorry, but did you not get the memo from NYC, TPM? This is no longer a story and doesn’t matter at all ever again.
Or Junior, because if Junior was informed, Trump was informed. I would assume the same with Jared.
That’s a good point, but another name that hasn’t hit with the probe that we know HAS to is Flynn. I like looking at who isn’t in the document, then at the sealed indictments. It gives me warm fuzzy feelings.
Those guys must be terrified.
