So, Papadopoulos, who was “inspired” with “information” from an FBI PLANT Stefan Halper (a “cutout” from Brit intel or a double agent for brits) , said information a complete fabrication of crapola created by “russian” sources from wherever (well paid no doubt). Papadop, armed with this Heavy duty “info” planted in his skull— gets liquored up and spills it to an Aussie diplomat pal of the Clintons-— cleverly “placed” to receive his “spill” so that he can report this to the FBI who hired the “plant” Halper in the first place. And then Papadop is accused of “lying to the FBI” and is so charged. This is so f’n LAME of Mueller it defies logic. Someone needs to really lambaste Mueller for the shitehole that he and all of his little shites actually are. The “LAW” is not served and neither is “Justice” . This man is a supreme loser of an a@@hole.
Papadop was “inspired” with “information” from mysterious Professor Mifsud said to be close to the Kremlin, that Russia had Hillary emails.
The Aussie diplomat pal of the Clintons received the spill of this information, that Russia had Hillary emails.
Actually, Halper later tried to get Papadop to spill something slightly different: that Papadop had advance knowledge of Russia hacking DNC emails. Papadop denied knowing that.
A rumor that Hillary’s deleted emails were in the hands of the Russians was not much for the FBI to justify spying on the Trump campaign. That’s why they have tried hard to twist it into advance knowledge of the DNC emails hack (but which really appears to be an insider leak by Seth Rich or the Pakistanis).
My guess is Mifsud was also the Russian “source” for the Steele dossier, and was channeling info from Hillary’s team to Steele.
