George Papadopoulos claimed that a meeting he'd had with the mysterious Maltese professor, Josef Mifsud, happened slightly before the green-as-grass 28-year-old was recruited into the Trump campaign.
It wasn't enough that prosecutors and agents had scared the bejesus out Papadopoulos by scheming to arrest him as he disembarked from a flight in the early evening - after the court was closed, ensuring that young George would spend the night in jail.
I couldn't help thinking about the hardball treatment of Papadopoulos when, yesterday, CNN announced the hiring of Andrew McCabe as a commentator.
McCabe, of course, was the FBI's deputy director before being fired after Justice Department's inspector general Michael Horowitz concluded that he made multiple false statements to the FBI - including under oath.
As I've previously recounted, McCabe is quite the operator: According to the IG report, to try to throw snoops of the scent, the then-deputy director indignantly reamed out subordinates in New York and Washington - as if these FBI field offices were guilty of the leak McCabe himself had orchestrated.
Brennan, who said he was really sorry, was inked by MSNBC. As Papadopoulos can tell you, non-government types who mislead government investigations don't do so well.
They see the false-statements investigations of Andy McCabe and George Papadopoulos and think, "Hey, wait a second".
