"Russia Yeet"

Yeeted: 2017-10-30

Pleaded guilty to lying about his Russia contacts and helped kick off the entire damn scandal, which is one hell of a self-own.

George Papadopoulos is a former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser who became one of the first major figures to fall in the Russia investigation. He pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying to the FBI about contacts linked to Russian intermediaries during the 2016 campaign. For a guy whose title sounded minor, Papadopoulos managed to help trigger one of the biggest political scandals of the era by being wildly overconfident and not nearly as smart as he seemed to think he was. On Yeeted or Seated, he is the living proof that small-time operatives can still create giant problems when ego outruns judgment.
