Papadopoulos Suggests British Conspiracy Targeted Trump Campaign
Source: The Daily Beast
George Papadopoulos embarked on a bizarre Twitter tirade late Monday in which he called for an investigation into Australia’s former foreign minister over a supposed British conspiracy against him. Papadopoulos, the first former Trump campaign adviser to be charged in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, questioned the “incredibly suspicious circumstances” in which he met with Alexander Downer, Australia’s ambassador to the U.K. at the time, in a London bar in May 2016.
It was during that encounter that Papadopoulos reportedly boasted of Russia having “political dirt” on Hillary Clinton, a claim Downer reported back to U.S. authorities. While disputing that he ever made such a statement to Downer, Papadopoulos questioned whether the meeting was proof that “British intelligence” had been “weaponized against an American citizen.” “The notion that Downer randomly reached out to me just to have a gin and tonic is laughable. For the sake of our republic and the integrity of this investigation, I think it’s time Downer is as exposed as Christoper Steele,” Papadopoulos wrote.
Papadopoulos, who was sentenced to 14 days in jail last week for lying to the FBI, also mocked Downer for “wearing women’s fish nets.” Australia is part of the Five Eyes national-security information-sharing agreement along with the U.S., Britain, Canada, and New Zealand.

Someone check Papadopoulos' bank account for a recent sizable deposit. Doesn't it seem peculiar that George's story dovetails so nicely into Donnie Two Scoops' paranoid fantasy that everyone in the world was out to get him during the 2016 campaign, despite Putin's admitting wanting Trump to win while standing next to the Orange One in Helsinki?
This is part and parcel of the Repugs latest efforts to cut the Mueller investigation off at its knees. For more than a year they attacked the validity of the FISA warrant, arguing that it should be thrown our because it was solely based on Christopher Steele's dossiers. After IQ45 took the unprecedented action of declassifying a FISA warrant--especially during an active investigation--they were left with egg on their face because the voluminous documents showed that the primary reason for beginning the Russia investigation was Papadopoulos' drunken bragging to an Australian diplomat about the Russians having illegally obtained Hillary's emails, and how they were going to use them to help Trump and hurt Hillary.
Watch all the talking heads begin parroting the story line that Mueller's investigation should be shut down because its genesis was caused by an planned attack on the Trump campaign by a foreign power--Australia.
