Here's a great example of how the George P plea deal is being spun:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/30/o...ndictment.html

Third, a paragraph in the plea agreement indicates that Mr. Papadopoulos pleaded guilty on Oct. 5 and the plea was sealed so that he could act as a “proactive cooperator.” The meaning of that phrase is unclear. But one nerve-racking possible implication is that Mr. Papadopoulos has recently worn a wire in conversations with other former campaign officials. This will surely have members of Mr. Trump’s inner circle agonizing about the possibility and wondering who else might have been similarly cooperating with the investigation.


Maybe. But any one of a number of different scenarios that have nothing to do with the Trump campaign could also be just as true. That doesn't stop this gasbag NYT contributor, a lefty law prof and former Clinton appointed US Attorney, from painting that speculation as fact:

While Mr. Manafort and Mr. Gates are much bigger fish than Mr. Papadopoulos, his case may the more portentous one. He clearly has a wealth of information on the campaign and Mr. Trump’s inner circle. And much more important, he is already providing it.


But I'm sure that this'll give you chills and goosebumps when you read it.
