What does everyone think is the story on this guy?

I’ve got my own theory but I wonder what exactly everyone thinks his origin story is and what he actually had done.

I think he's a political strategist who was hired and worked for pro-Russian factions out of Ukraine during the Crimea mess. This makes him an easy target to link to "Russia". Can't speak to if he evaded taxes or failed to submit paperwork around this work as a lobbyist, which he may be guilty of, but I don't associate those activities with so called Russian collusion to interfere with the 2016 election. But that's just my perspective on him.

Recent news about him and the circumstances of his alleged activities are changing and falling apart.

You are thinking of Manafort.

You are thinking of Manafort.

I thought it was both of them, but you may very well be correct.

Okay, you are thinking Gates.

Papadopoulos is much less assuming figure. More Carter Page than Paul Manafort.

Fair enough. I'll have to go back and look into him then. Clearly I'm not up to speed on him or his role in all this.

That he was a plant

But not a plant by either of the two areas most would assume
