(4,826 posts)2. According to WaPo, Lewandowski is one of the people referenced in the Papadopoulos's document
He's the person the DOJ refers to as the "High-Ranking Campaign Official". So............
Emails previously described to The Post indicate that the high-ranking campaign official described in court documents is onetime campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. The emails were among more than 20,000 pages that the Trump campaign turned over to congressional committees after review by White House and defense lawyers.
Lewandowski, who was pushed out of his post in June 2016, did not respond to requests for comment.
Papadopoulos wrote to Lewandowski several times to let him know that the Russians were interested in forging a relationship with the campaign, court filings show.
In one email on April 27, 2016, Papadopoulos wrote to discuss Russias interest in hosting Mr. Trump.

had Lewendowsky stayed in place, there would be no Russia stuff. He and Trump would be sitting pretty.
