To paraphrase Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, George Papadopoulos, an adviser to the Trump presidential campaign, had to walk into London’s Kensington Wine Rooms in May 2016 where he got drunk and told Alexander Downer, Australia’s High Commissioner to the UK, that Russia had “dirt” on Hillary Clinton and many of her emails.
Downer reported this conversation to U.S. authorities in late July 2016. According to former FBI Director James Comey, this report — and not the dossier paid for by the DNC and the Clinton campaign — was the seminal event that raised concerns about Donald Trump’s ties to the Russians and the major reason it launched its counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign.

So they had evidence from inside the Trump campaign that crimes were being committed and started to investigate those crimes? Is that what you’re saying??
One former FBI Agent let it slip that a Women was sent to lure Papadopoulos to the Bar.
What did the Aussie government know and when did it know it...
“So they had evidence from inside the Trump campaign that crimes were being committed and started to investigate those crimes? Is that what you’re saying??”
Total Lie. The article says no such thing.
He’s the spy?
I think he's important.....only because they nabbed him early on and put him in a protective situation...you lied and we're gonna watch your every move.
Can't figure out one reason why this guy would have to lie. Phony shakedown.
I’m very disappointed that Downer a former Australian Prime Minister would behave in such a despicable manner and although I’m very fond of and admire the Australian people, there needs to be a price paid by them for this back stabbing and I hope Trump is the guy to give it to them. Maybe Downer thinks the Chinese would make a better ally than us.
I doubt Downer did this without approval of the Aussie government. I think Canberra has some serious splainin’ to do.
Not really. What is being asked is, was information planted for Papadopoulos to spread along to make it appear that there was a connection between the Trump campaign & Russia. Or stated another way, were they using Papadopoulos as a conduit to create justification for surveillance of the Trump campaign, that they (the Deep State - Hillary Clinton campaign - Obama?) had created. That they setup a nobody like Papadopoulos with the fake allegation that Russian had several thousand hacked emails. Then they got him drunk and had him talk about it. This then gave credence to the narrative that Russia was aiding Trump in his bid for the presidency.
