While the indictments of Paul Manafort and his associate Rick Gates dominated the headlines, only the guilty plea by Papadopoulos is linked to the campaign and Russia. It’s certainly fair to say he was open to colluding with Russia, now that he’s been charged with lying to the FBI. Clovis told him "great work" when he floated his efforts to meet the Russian ambassador, which Papadopoulos never did. From the Post: "In August 2016, Clovis responded to efforts by Papadopoulos to organize an 'off the record' meeting with Russian officials. Oh, and "the Professor" that Papadopoulos said had links to Russia and was proffering "dirt" on Hillary Clinton, including "thousands of emails"?
