Papadopoulos Denied that Trump Campaign Hacked DNC in Conversation with FBI Source in October 2016: ‘It’s Illegal’
National Reviw ^ | April 9th 2020 | Zachary Evans

Former Trump-campaign adviser George Papadopoulos in October 2016 denied the campaign was involved in the hacking of the Democratic National Committee earlier that year, in a conversation with a confidential FBI source.

The conversation has already been referenced in Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report of FBI abuses of the Federal Intelligence Surveillance act. The conversation was not included in the FBI’s application for a FISA warrant against former Trump-campaign adviser Carter Page, and Horowitz wrote that the omission was one of several instances in which the FBI failed to include evidence contradicting the need for a warrant.

A transcript of the conversation was obtained by CBS News.

“You don’t think anyone from the Trump campaign had anything to do with the f***ing over the, at the DNC?,” the FBI source asked Papadaopoulos. “No. I know that for a fact,” the adviser responded.

In addition to the FISA warrants for the Russia investigation, IG Horowitz said in March 2020 that their were “apparent errors or inadequately supported facts” in all 29 FISA applications from 2014 to 2019 he had reviewed as part of an auditing process undertaken to determine if the abuses identified in the Carter Page application were more widespread.

Things are warming up. Tune in to Laura Ingraham tonight. No known sighting of Mifsud in a long time. He probably rests with Epstein.

His name was Seth Rich.

He was plugged for leaking the DNC data.

Are we going to have to wait till after the election for all the hype and rumors that have been circulated since Barr began his intensive investigation? If so will the fan be hit with all the s____ that we’ve been promised.

Why should there be? He's already talked to Barr. Why else would Barr have flown to Italy back in 2019? It certainly wasn't to taste their wines..........

My memory is that Barr has not, or not disclosed interviewing Mifsud. If you can show otherwise, thanks.

You answered your own questions:

... not disclosed interviewing Mifsud.

Since when is Barr obligated to inform the press on who and when he questions anyone during this ongoing investigation?

If you can show otherwise, thanks.......

Barr may or may not have met with Mifsud in Italy but the fact remains he did meet with Italian intelligence while there and at last recount, Mifsud is living in Rome.......
