Mueller best start reading the Tea Leaves if he wants to remain outside an iron barred environment or a loosely knotted rope.

Sessions may actually have to wake up one of these months for a minute or 2 and do his damned job, his sand is about to run out.

It was a sting. Mifsud planted the information, Halper tried to reap it. When that failed, they set up the meeting with the Aussie.

They tried to make it out to be a crime that he repeated what Mifsud told him. It was phony, Mifsud was working for the FBI. But Pap didn’t know it was phony...

Of course, there is no crime in repeating what an undercover told him. And there is no crime in trying to set up a meeting with the Russians, as Mifsud evidently had asked him to do. In any event, he failed to attract any interest on the part of the Campaign. So it all went no where.

No collusion. No interest in colluding. Had there been interest, even that would not have been a crime. If it was, Hillary would be behind bars.

Papadopoulos, an energy consultant based in Chicago

Another one from Chicago - imagine that. This guy also worked in the State Dept. during HRC's tenure.

I seemed to also remember that the wife had said that George was going to blow the lid off the Russia Investigation. Her agenda and rightfully so is get George the least amount of time that he can get. Mueller didn’t let him off the hook as much as she thought so now she will come out publicly the other way. Either way it’s funny how liberals thought this was going to a path to get Trump and it came up a complete dead end.

I agree with everything that you say with regard to this being a sting where bad information was fed by mifsud to Papa. What I do not understand is how Papa got caught in lies. He must be and have been quite naive to think that he would get away with Miss statements to the FBI.

Mueller contends that Papadopoulos’s statements “substantially hindered” investigators’ ability to “effectively question” Mifsud when he traveled to Washington, D.C., two weeks after the first Papadopoulos interview, Friday’s filing said.

This is intentionally misleading by the corrupt Mueller/DOJ/FBI.

The FBI could have spoken with him in Italy anytime they wanted with simply a request to the Italian authorities. As I recall Mifsud is close to the Italian intelligence service and was laying low in Italy for a while at the recommendation of the intel chief there. The FBI had no problem interviewing Steele in the UK, and an FBI agent stationed in Rome flew to the UK to do this.

Mifsud is the clearest key to unraveling the coup attempt. He seems obviously to be a western intelligence asset.

But I suspect he is not a direct CIA asset. Probably a direct asset of MI6 and may have been known to GCHQ former head Hannigan who unexpectedly stepped down when Trump was inaugurated.

The British and other euro intel agencies are strongly anti-Brexit, pro-EU, pro-open borders, pro-refugee, pro-socialist and anti-self government for the legacy nation-states of Europe.

Expect a huge cover-up trying to get the info out of Britain as to what the relationship between British government agencies and Mifsud was. But Halper probably has information on this relationship, as likely Brennan as well.

That is the information Papadopoulos needs. Note that in the legal papers Mueller is always careful to write that Papadopoulos believed Mifsud to be something in the nature of a Russian agent, but Mueller never on behalf of the US government himself makes that assertion.

Papadopoulos should demand the deposition of Halper, Brennan and anyone else who might have information on the relationship with Mifsud. If they perjure themselves, as is likely, then it's on to find a whistleblower or find records within the US intel community on this to put these corrupt enemies of the US Constitution in prison.

IOW, he didn’t make up what Mueller wanted him to make up.

He got caught in lies in a sting? - Mifsud was a Western asset?

Deeper questions are: If he was an asset, the sting was perpetrated on a rival political campaign based on what? What was the probable cause? They can’t even say it was the Steele Dossier, because didn’t this meeting occur even before the dossier BS was concocted?

What if Papa-D withdrew his plea and demanded discovery?...

That precise scenario is very well laid out in Dan bongino latest podcast which you can view on YouTube, and speed up to cut the listening time.

It is kind of a matter of what you are willing to believe, I suppose. Bongino lays out the case that mifsud, who has been portrayed as potentially a Russian asset, is actually a US asset. That is a big smelly deal, a crucial distinction. It appears the whole “Got dirt on Hillary” story was seeded By mifsud, who has apparently disappeared off the face of the Earth. Did he just make that story up, or was he induced, shall we say, by Brennan.

I of course have no special powers to tell anyone what to believe or not to believe. I believe that the evidence supporting the notion that the dossier and the efforts to discredit Trump we’re fed to these lower-level players, Papadopoulos and Paige, with the purpose of getting them to talk about them. Both of these guys had prior connections to the CIA and it was undoubtedly easy for CIA leadership to obtain surveillance warrants against them, which include the “hop” Theory which allows surveillance of whom they talk to and whomever they talked to on the same ticket.

So I can’t sit here and say this is what happened, I can only weigh evidence which largely anecdotal and try to discern the coherence of the overall story. I find nothing whatsoever difficult to believe about the top people at the FBI getting the idea that it would be good to sabotage Trump. Perhaps I’m biased. But the evidence is stacking up in quite the smelly pile.

Hillary could smash hard rives, kill witnesses and lie constantly without any consequences. Deep state criminals can lie and create fake evidence without any consequence. Anyone who is connected to president Trump is charged and put on trial for answering a question wrong. They turned our system into a two tiered joke.

If this amateur political guy Papa “hindered” the great FBI of Mueller/Comey in their fake investigations, it shows just how much of a Rinky-Dinky organization they had, how incompetent they were, and what a bunch of treasonous bastards their leaders were.

If Mifsud was a CIA or FBI operative, then he “entrapped” Papa, plain and simple.

If Halper was either FBI or CIA, then he entrapped Page. Plain and simply.

Don’t forget Ms. Veselsnitskaya etc. Wanna bet she worked for the KGB/SVR or GRU? Nobody in Russia does anything that would benefit Putin and his criminal/Marxist thugs without their being directed to do so, by word, letter or sign-language.

The whole FBI “sting” operation was a fraud from the start since Comey/Strzok, etc never investigated the “Russian connections” to Steele.

That is a damning sign of incompetence or coverup, or just plain treason in attempting to frame the Pres. of the United States for a non-existent crime, “Collusion”.

If “collusion” was real for anyone, it was for Hillary, her Foundation, all involved with the UraniumOne scandal, and Russian contacts with and by Fusion GPS, the DNC, Steele, etc.

I never thought the FBI would get this corrupted but the Obama cabal was stronger and more invidious than imaged.

Time for a couple new grand jury investigations.

By the way, 6 months is a “Misdemeanor” sentence unless it could have been over one year and one day.

Mueller and his mafia have given birth to a Minnow, not a Whale. Now that is some stinking fish story to investigate, isn’t it?

You may need to add GCHQ or MI6, but yes.

Absolutely.

Don’t forget Ms. Veselsnitskaya etc.

The Trump Tower meeting was also an (albeit feeble) attempt at entrapment.

I'm thinking John Brennan, working for the Muslim Traitor, will turn out to be ringmaster of SpyGate / RussiaGate. Brennan's strategy was to feed "evidence" of collusion through CIA assets to the Trump campaign, then use the FBI to "find" it, then use the FBI's "leads" to get fraudulent FISA warrants to spy on the campaign. When Trump unexpectedly won the election, their priority suddenly shifted to covering up. Covering up and diverting attention from Obama Regime misdeeds is the real purpose of the Mueller probe.

Obstruction of justice where it was obvious no crime existed? How about the crime of a Presidential coup? Mueller should hang.
