George Papadopoulos’ wife, Simona Mangiante, said her husband was not involved in collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government and that he pleaded guilty in the special counsel’s investigation to avoid facing charges that he was an agent of the Israeli government.
In an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller News Foundation, Mangiante also claimed that it was former Trump campaign aide Papadopoulos who, during an interview with the FBI on Jan. 27, 2017, brought up Joseph Mifsud, the mysterious Maltese professor who mentioned Hillary Clinton’s emails to him during a meeting in London in April 2016.
Papadopoulos’ willingness to bring up Mifsud during that FBI interview suggests he was not trying to cover up a conspiracy involving Clinton’s emails, Mangiante said.
A former attorney in the European Parliament, Mangiante is coming forward with the new details about Papadopoulos’ activities on the Trump campaign in order to “reset the narrative” that he colluded with the Russian government. She is also pushing back against the idea that Papadopoulos has information that could be damaging to the Trump administration.

“George had nothing to do with Russia,” said Mangiante, who has acted as a sort of spokeswoman for her husband in the months since his plea deal.
Mangiante also said Papadopoulos “pled guilty because [Mueller’s prosecutors] threatened to charge him with being an Israeli agent.”

But Mangiante said there is a disconnect between the emails Mifsud referenced to Papadopoulos and the FBI’s rationale for opening Crossfire Hurricane. She noted that Mifsud referred only to Clinton-related emails, not DNC documents that sparked the FBI’s investigation. Mangiante also said she does not understand how a comment from Downer was enough to prompt a full-scale investigation into the Trump campaign.

So there is an Obama admin vs. Netanyahu layer in the background to all of this?
Now they’re bringing the Israelis into the witch hunt?
They are dynamite and the deep state is in deep shite if they ever see the light of day.
Was there some element of payback by Netanyahu against Obama/Hillary during the campaign in retaliation for Obama’s interference in the Israeli election against Netanyahu?
And Mueller’s investigation is trying to uncover evidence against Netanyahu?
I do recall that there is an Israeli-American senior FBI agent on Mueller’s team. Is he there to grind an ax against Likud/Netanyahu?
It was broken by Bret Baer from an anonymous source that at least five foreign intel services had Hillary’s homebrew server emails.
One of them likely Russia.
One of them likely Israel.
Going back a ways, it was considered an open secret in DC that Mossad had Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky recordings.
Papadopoulos was connected to the Hudson Institute for Energy, which seems to have been working with Noble Energy of Houston in a joint Israel - Cyprus - Greece venture to develop gas and oil in the eastern Mediterranean.
Cyprus was a tax haven used by Russians until this year.
Mueller would do well in the Castro regime.
I know the Nobel Exec in Israel. Good family too.
All part of the attempted coup.
Btw, the wife looks completely innocent.
An Israeli agent?? Where the hell did that come from?
If Israel has them, I wouldn’t be surprised if President Trump has them.
Israeli AGENT??? THAT’s NEW!!
It looks like, however innocent you may be, all the government has to do is to keep on inventing accusations and sooner or later you have to plead guilty to one of them to avoid being ruined...how can someone prove he isn't an Israeli agent?
Be wary of surrogates making claims to the press. Note that Papadopoulos is not making these claims himself. Now, why might that be?
The entire Mueller investigation may have been necessary for the specific purpose of getting control of the Hillary emails and hiding them forever.
Because Mueller has his balls in a vice, that’s why
She used to work for this Misfud character herself. This whole setup stinks to high heaven.
