“Coffee Boy” George Papadopoulos’ exploits as bagman at large for the Trump campaign could lead to the first batch of indictments and convictions promised by Sen. Blumenthal. Conspiracy and perjury would be the likely charges. We know that Papadopoulos learned (and will testify) that the Russians had “dirt” on Hillary Clinton in April 2016 and was told soon after it was stolen emails. Hacking and stealing electronic communications, by the way, is a crime. Papadopoulos shared that information with Trump campaign officials, but not the F.B.I. Failure to notify law enforcement is a crime. So, from that point on, those Trump campaign officials and probably Trump himself have been involved in a conspiracy to hide those crimes. Every time they lied under oath or to investigators and said there had been no contacts with the Russians, they committed perjury. Trump, as the Republican nominee, was explicitly warned in August 2016 that foreign spies would be actively trying to contact and infiltrate his campaign and was advised to inform the F.B.I. of ANY such contacts. Failure to disclose their knowledge about stolen emails and Junior’s Russian filled meeting in June and the subsequent coverup may be a crime. Whether Trump’s campaign actively conspired with the Russians or whether Trump tried to obstruct justice are totally separate questions and separately indictable offenses. Money laundering, Trump’s so-called red line, is still another thread in this tapestry.
