While media were focused on mass shootings, explosive revelations about the Russia Hoax came out
American Thinker ^ | 08/05/2019 | Thomas Lifson

Maria Bartiromo has immersed herself in the details of the Russia Hoax, and has used her weekly Fox News program, Sunday Morning Futures, to tease out details of information from current and former Republican congressmen who have seen documents and interviewed witnesses that the public has not yet had access to. The picture that emerges is ugly, indeed.

Yesterday in an interview with former House oversight committee chairman Trey Gowdy, she exposed new details – outrageous behavior by a US intelligence asset – in the setting up George Papadopoulos in order to obtain a FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign and (unsuccessfully) attempt to lure him into a chargeable crime.

She focused on a still-classified transcript of George Papadopoulos speaking with Stefan Halper, the Cambridge academic who has reportedly received a million dollars for serving as an intelligence asset over the last several years.  Gowdy had read the classified transcript when he was chair of the House Oversight committee and is constrained in speaking about its details. But Bartiromo skillfully worked around his constraints to provide a picture of the shocking trap the transcript reveals, by quoting George Papadopoulos’s account of the conversation.

Here is the essence of that portion of the conversation in my transcription:

“George Papadopoulos told me last night that the memo and the transcript that you are referring to is from a conversation that he had with Stefan Halper and it was in London. The Sofitel Hotel in London, where Stefan Halper told him something like ‘Russia has all these transcripts, all these emails of Hillary Clinton, and when they get out, that’d really good for you, right?’ Would you help? That’d ne really good for you and the Trump campaign if all those emails got out, right?’

“And George Papadopoulos answered and said, ‘That’s crazy! Are you kidding me? That would be treason. People get hanged for stuff like that. I would never do something like that.’

That is the transcript that George Papadopoulos told me is still classified.”

Moral of the story. If you don’t personally know the person asking the questions keep your mouth shut.

Papadopoulos’ entire case is nothing but, Entrapment. And not a very good one at that. Whether his not taking the money back with him was a hunch or a calculated decision, it was genius. His case proves that unless you got Warren Buffet money, they’ll just make you go broke and force you to take a plea.

His Guilty plea should be vacated and record scrubbed clean, if all of this is true. And then drop a MotherF*cking Hammer of Thor Lawsuit on everyone involved in his case.

Nothing’s going to happen to democrats... they can commit crimes, lie under oath or destroy evidence.

We live in a totalitarian hellhole.

Proves the existence of an elaborate conspiracy that carried over after the election into the presidency of a duly elected public official. Seditious conspiracy should be one of the charges brought against the Obamanistas and Clintonsistas...

Gowdy is a show horse. Bartiromo reported in the same interview that it was McConnell and Burr who sunk Ratcliffe. Gowdry ran as fast as he could from that all the while claiming Ratcliff is a personal friend. With Republicans like Gowdy who needs Democrats?

Without a doubt the GOP is fully invested in this conspiracy. Ratcliffe’s nom as DNI being sunk by the GOP Senate is just the latest proof of that.

Read somewhere that Papadopoulos’s girlfriend/fiancee/wife urged him not to take the money back to the States. She is Greek and funny how the money was deposited in a Greek attorney’s office. Women are very good at smelling a rat. George has a wonderful, I’ll watch your back partner.

Because it’s not just the democrats doing this. It’s most of the ‘right’ as well.

Both wings belong to the same vulture.

Of course wasn’t that the plan...false flags..this was predicted several weeks ago...what I don’t get is how the deep state can fire these psychos off just at the right times to cover the real news about the treason and coup info which the msm so wants to avoid reporting on with this racist Trump crap and and white terrorism crap now...but it happens every time and 1/2 of the usa knows nothing of these asshat dems and the subversion of our govt to over throw Trump and they are still at it every day!

I have to give George and his wife some real credit there. They totally screwed up the FBI entrapment plan.

I burst out laughing the first time I heard George P. describe what happened. When he flew back to the U.S., the U.S. Customs officials were rummaging through his carry-on baggage expecting to “find” the money. They got extremely exasperated and baffled when it was nowhere to be found. LOL.

Seditious Conspiracy....interesting...Sounds like one of those that, if they were brought upon someone and they were convicted, something tells the punishment involves a rope and a tree.

If that’s how it went down, I can only imagine how that conversation went down. Great for her, for having some Spidey Sense.
