May 10, 2016: Papadopoulos agrees to meet Downer at London’s Kensington Wine Room. According to Downer, they only had one drink and he was meeting to respond to Papadopoulos’s interview with The Times. It was then that Papadopoulos referred to the information Mifsud had relayed to him about Moscow having information on Clinton. Downer, in an interview with The Australian news magazine, said articles referring to a heavy night of drinking were false. He said that “by the way, nothing [Papadopoulos] said in that conversation indicated Trump himself had been conspiring with the Russians to collect information on Hillary Clinton. It was just that this guy, [Papadopoulos], clearly knew that the Russians did have material on Hillary Clinton — but whether Trump knew or not?”
Downer also indicated that “(Papadopoulos) didn’t say Trump knew or that Trump was in any way involved in this. He said it was about Russians and Hillary Clinton; it wasn’t about Trump.” In fact, he noted that Papadopoulos “didn’t say dirt; he said material that could be damaging to (Clinton). No, he said it would be damaging. He didn’t say what it was.
It was the conversation during this meeting, according to a story in the New York Times in December 2017, that would open the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation “Crossfire Hurricane,” which was to probe any coordination between the Trump campaign and Moscow.
According to Chuck Ross with the Daily Caller Papadopoulos believed Mifsud was referring to the 30,000-plus emails Hillary Clinton had deleted from her server. Andrew McCarthy in National Review noted that this scenario makes more sense because “it was those emails that Donald Trump harped on throughout the campaign and that were in the news when Mifsud spoke with Papadopoulos in April 2016. While there are grounds for concern that Clinton’s emails were hacked, there is no proof that it happened; Clinton’s 30,000 emails are not the hacked DNC emails on which the “collusion” narrative is based.”
Floating the same talking point as Veselnitskaya months before her June 2016 approach to Trump, Jr.
NEVER EVER TRUST A DEMOCRAT!! Downer gave the Clinton Crime Family SLUSH FUND $25 MILLION !! $25 MILLION!!! Mifsud is most likely a TRIPLE agent, and Papa most likely is a mole.....Carter Page is just weird.

“On July 23, 2016, shortly after WikiLeaks released the first hacked Clinton campaign emails, the Australian government contacted the State Department’s deputy chief of mission in London about Downer’s May 10 conversation with Papadopoulos. State forwarded the information to FBI headquarters.”

Nov. 7, 2016: The website Heat Street posted a piece by former Conservative British politician Louise Mensch stating that “two separate sources with links to the counter-intelligence community have confirmed” that the FBI twice sought warrants to “examine activities of ‘U.S. persons’ in Trump’s campaign with ties to Russia.” The article states that a June warrant request was denied, and that a second request in October was approved.
Jan. 11: The Guardian reported that a June application by U.S. intelligence to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court had been denied, and that the newspaper had not confirmed the Heat Street reporting about an October order.
Jan. 12: The BBC reported that the June application had been denied, and quoted “a lawyer outside the Department of Justice but familiar with the case” saying the court had granted a request by U.S. intelligence to intercept electronic records from two Russian banks, and that the order involved three of then-President-elect Trump’s associates.”
Soo... The FBI was seeking a FISA warrant on the Trump campaign’s connection to “Russia” in JUNE 2016.. but they had not heard of the Papadopoulos comment through Downer until July 23, 2016.
But the NY Times tells us the Papadopoulos comment was the reason the investigation “began”..

The Deep State FBI/Brennan/Clapper team was investigating/spying on/attempting to destroy the Trump campaign before they knew of Papadopoulos’ supposed knowledge of Clinton “dirt”. They had no probable cause. They tried to plant information with Trump campaign members in order to manufacture probable cause. By attempting to continue this sham after Trump won, they engaged in treason. They tried to get a FISA warrant in June 2016 before they knew about Papadopoulos’ comment (which is hearsay anyway).
