Former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos slams original Russia probe as 'master class in deception'

EXCLUSIVE: Former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos, reacting to Special Counsel John Durham’s latest filing, told Fox News in an exclusive interview that the original Trump-Russia probe was about "manufacturing a situation" around Donald Trump and his associates in an effort to tie them to the Kremlin, calling activities surrounding the origins of the investigation a "masterclass in deception."

Durham, in a Feb. 11 court filing, first reported by Fox News, alleged "Tech Executive-1," now identified as Rodney Joffe, and his associates, including a lawyer for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, Michael Sussmann, "exploited" internet traffic pertaining to a "particular healthcare provider," Trump Tower, Trump’s Central Park West apartment building, and the Executive Office of the President of the United States in order to "establish ‘an inference’ and ‘narrative’" to then bring to federal government agencies tying Trump to Russia.

"This was literally about manufacturing a situation around Trump and his people that made it seem as if all of them, including the president and his family, were somehow colluding or in the works with the Russians," Papadopoulos told Fox News Wednesday.

"What we’re witnessing was a masterclass in deception, propaganda and trade craft," Papadopoulos said. "In this case, I think there were so many vested interests in a Hillary Clinton presidency—that’s why you see all of these actors activated the way they were."

Papadopoulos was referring to Durham’s latest filing, as well as the unverified anti-Trump dossier which was authored by ex-British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, commissioned by opposition research firm Fusion GPS, and funded by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign through law firm Perkins Coie.

Judicial Watch’s Oct 13, 2021, Georgia Open Records Act obtained records of communication from South African Rodney Joffe..........Joffe, retired this month from Neustar, another information services company.

A cybersecurity firm at the center of Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe was paid nearly $20,000 by The Biden campaign.

<><>The Biden campaign paid Neustar Information Services in 2020 for accounting and compliance work, according to Federal Election Commission records.

<><>According to Durham, Neustar’s chief technology officer, Rodney Joffe, accessed sensitive web traffic data that the company maintained on behalf of the White House executive office to collect “derogatory” information about Donald Trump.

The South African Joffe allegedly provided the information to Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, who in turn gave it to the CIA during a meeting in February 2017. Durham charged Sussmann in September with lying to the FBI about his investigation of Trump.

That raises the question: was the same action going on against Trump in 2020?

The Biden and Clinton campaigns are the only two presidential committees to have ever paid Neustar, according to Federal Election Commission records.
<><>Biden’s campaign paid Neustar $18,819 on Sept. 29, 2020, the records show.
<><>The Clinton campaign paid the firm $3,000 in May 2015 for mobile phone services.
<><> Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee paid $3,000 to Neustar in 2017.

Neustar executives and staffers contributed $17,906 to Biden’s campaign, FEC records show.

Looks like this “cybersecurity” firm is providing supersecurity to the cabal that is currently controlling the Demonrat party.
As usual, Liz, your information is amazing!
Gives some hope that Durham is conducting a “run silent, run deep” operation that will blow this cabal out of the water, BEFORE they sink our FREE REPUBLUC’s “ship of state”.
