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.
My other guess that all of this also ties in with the murder of Seth Rich.
Thank you for the clarification. Am so g-dmnd tired of this utter bullcrap “prosecution” that in a normal “fair” world we would all get a “shot” at the little weasels involved. Lord, what little crap/turd rolling utter nobodies. The “famous” Mueller (who is really more resembling a piss poor Stasi agent than a top Federal law enforcement hero— a loser, pure and simple (and, imho, highly motivated by the clinton/obamaumao mafia to prosecute all this to protect his OWN greasy role in Uranium 1- item: where is his foreign bank account— is it Panama Papers jungle or is it Credit Suisse illegal as hell- the man is a DIRTY and incompetent cop, as are his buddies, Rosenswine, and Commodus Comey- (Commodus being the name Caligula gave to his co-Consul, his horse).
This is simply a circus. I want Lady Justice to balance the scales on these jackasses. Otherwise our Republic is lost.
