Think about what it says that the Papadopoulos info was kept SECRET for this long!

51. While I agree that its likely airport employees would know all, perhaps the arrest was done in....

...such a subtle way and without incident (even in a car parked at Dulles Airport) under the guise of transportation taking him home or to work and getting the bad news for George Papadopoulos that way. No eyes, nothing unusual to anyone standing around, even if they were an employee standing by the curb at the entrance of Dulles Airport.

Nothing unusual about Government and White House Administration employees getting into Black SUV's at Dulles Airport.

Its who is sitting and waiting inside that dark shaded windows in that car that matters. And all it would have taken is someone from FBI walking up (not necessarily wearing a big jacket with FBI, but just a dark coat) and saying "Mr. Papadopoulos, Joe Smith of the FBI - please come with me to the vehicle here".

Poor George - he knew already in July for about 6 plus months that he had been lying to the FBI and he was living on borrowed time....and my guess he was tired of lying and scared. He also was likely warned about making a scene. And if he was smart, had already consulted a lawyer before.

Just my thoughts on what went down and how it was not noticed by airport employees and thus kept very quiet as Mueller and his team executed this....
