OAN:
Former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos is going to Greece to return $10,000 given to him for reasons he believes constitute as entrapment. Papadopoulos claims the money is marked bills, and was given to him in a plot by the Obama-era FBI and CIA to charge him with a violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The money aroused suspicion with Papadopoulos, prompting him to turn it into his lawyer where it has been stored in a safe.
“They were looking to make a conspiracy case, using me with this fake information to then hurt Trump…what they were trying to do is fabricate a conspiracy among the Trump campaign and President Trump using their own people,” he explained.
Papadopoulos specifically requested the Department of Justice look at the dollar bills given to him due to the department’s probe into the origins of the Russia probe, with Papadopoulos being used as a reason to start an investigation. The money is believed to be supplemental evidence as the Justice Department is getting closer to acquiring transcripts of recorded conversations between Papadopoulos and an alleged informant of the FBI — Stefan Halper. more here
Some of the comments on OAN bring up a good point. Who’s getting the return? Amb Pyatt? Quiet Nuland the phone is tapped.
Don’t drop any of it and bend over.
If Iran attacked Turkey from the rear, would Greece help?
That’s quite a trick, but I’d rather turn lawyers into money. (-:

Ha!
The subtleties of English grammar can get a person into serious trouble.
I think I’d pick up a suit case with blank paper in it as a test run.
I hope AG Barr, et al, hand-select a forensics team to thoroughly examine each bill for fingerprints and DNA in addition to attempting to trace their origin.
Can you imagine any other explanation for a team of FBI to show up at the airport, nab you as soon as you land, not explain their presence but start tearing through all your luggage — except that they knew you’d be in possession of their planted evidence?
In fact, it’s one of my favorite scenes in the film “My Man Godfrey” in which Gail Patrick tells the police to look under Godfrey’s mattress for the “stolen” pearls she put there in order to frame him. Realizing what his daughter had done, Eugene Pallet tells the cops, “I’m not sure she even had any pearls.”
