The campaign aide (click here) who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI distorted the truth out of loyalty to President Trump, according to a report on Friday.
George Papadopoulos, a foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign, misled investigators about his contacts with a professor who he believed had deep ties to Russia because he didn’t want to contradict Trump’s public denials of collusion with the Kremlin, a source told ABC News.
Papadopoulos was arrested in July and accepted a plea deal, admitting that he lied about interactions he had with a professor in England who offered “dirt” on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton....
This is not a game. It is the country. There is no room for loyalty when it is not centered on the truth. This is why the "W" administration was scrutinized and Nixon resigned. False loyalties cause the USA harm and kill American troops. Considering the depth Flynn was going in pursuit of personal wealth, the idea loyalty comes before the country should be of utmost concern to all Americans.
I hope the slap on the wrist Papadopoulos received was worth it.
