Ahhhh, I see. So, the foreign ambassador he is talking about is Alexander Downer. Let's see...the same Alexander Downer who, as Foreign Minister in 2003 was accused of not passing on intelligence reports he received before the 2002 Bali bombings in which over 200 people were killed. He countered that the warnings were not specific enough to warrant their further release to the Australian public.
So, the warnings were not specific enough for THAT to pass on, but...a single encounter, in which Downer in what appears to have been a frantic backtracking as the spotlight of attention got too hot for him, told a newspaper (The Australian in a 28 April 2018 interview) that, "nothing Papadopoulos said in their meeting indicated Trump himself had been conspiring with the Russians to collect information on Hillary Clinton."
Information about terrorists who murdered 200+ people was NOT significant enought to pass along, but an innocuous conversation with a low level campaign functionary in a bar WAS significant enough to pass along, THAT information really made him quake in his shoes.
So Alexander Downer, who had been Foreign Minister, was on the board of an absolute spook company (Hakluyt & Company) and as a former ambassador KNEW the ins and outs of intelligence channels, and instead of submitting this "important" information about his meeting with Papadopoulos to the Intelligence community for Five Eyes evaluation and transmission through the proper channels, deliberately went around it (because he would have been LAUGHED out of the room if he had gone through proper intelligence channels) and instead, brought the "important" information to Elizabeth Dibble, the political hack deputy chief of mission at the U.S. embassy in London, who took it to the FBI.
THAT "foreign ambassador"?
It is too difficult to discern if this person Khanna is outright stupid, ideological, or duplicitous, but I suspect all three.
Yep, I agree with the “all three.”
It’s almost beyond belief that anyone could say what he did with a straight face, even most Dems know exactly what took place and why it took place.
Of course intelligence isn’t a requirement to run for office and Rats take advantage of that in a big way.
