What Do We Know About George Papadopoulos

June 5, 2018 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

There’s been a lot of speculation about the role of George Papadopoulos. Especially in light of new information covered yesterday.

The Strange Flight of George Papadopoulos

Inspector General Horowitz was appointed by Obama in 2011. From the very start he found his duties throttled by Eric Holder’s DOJ. From Congressional testimony by Horowitz:Continue Reading

Devin Nunes – A Look of Shock

May 24, 2018 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

As the first of two historic meetings begin today, I thought it worthwhile to revisit the most public revealing of this sordid affair.

On March 22, 2017, after learning of Trump Transition surveillance, Devin Nunes gave an impromptu press conference followed by a more formal press conference  (transcripts here).
