I think we could go through each of the indictments from the investigation and show that certain comments made about them by one poster don't match reality.
1) George Papadopoulos - pleaded guilty to a process crime of lying to the FBI. Things he lied about were nothing of consequence and he was not a central figure in this investigation
In his first interview with the FBI, Papadopoulos claimed that he made contacts [with Russian government officials] before Trump named him as a member of his campaign foreign policy team in March 2016 and called him an "excellent guy." He actually began communicating with them [Russian officials] after he joined the campaign as an energy expert.
Days later, while attending what was billed as a "national security meeting" with Trump, Papadopoulos told the group he had connections that could lead to a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the court papers say.
During the FBI interview, Papadopoulos downplayed the importance of the communications, saying that a professor living in London was "a nothing," while a Russian woman had been emailing him just to say, "Hi, how are you?"
In reality, the professor, identified as Joseph Mifsud of the London Academy of Diplomacy, had told Papadopoulos that Russians had "dirt" on Hillary Clinton — well before it was widely understood that Russia had hacked the Democrats.
The professor introduced Papadopoulos to a Russian who said he was close to officials at the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. That contact, identified as Ivan Timofeev of the Russian International Affairs Council, then spoke with Papadopoulos over Skype about laying the groundwork for a meeting between the campaign and officials in Moscow.
After he was first questioned by the FBI, Papadopoulos deactivated a Facebook account that had information about his communications with the foreign nationals, and he also got a new cellphone number.
These aren't lies of no consequence, they are central to the investigation of whether Russians interferred with the election or not.
