Late Friday, attorneys for former Donald Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos filed their client's sentencing memorandum in preparation for his September 7, 2018 sentencing hearing before federal judge Randolph Moss.
The language the press proffered as supposed evidence of collusion came in a passage in which Papadopoulos' attorneys sought to portray the Trump advisor as out of his depth.
In addition to playing up the irrelevant, the press passed on the noteworthy: Papadopoulos' sentencing memo reveals new evidence that further indicates the FBI's goal in Crossfire Hurricane was to investigate Trump-not Russia's interference with the presidential election.
In the memo, Papadopoulos's lawyers detailed the FBI's January 27, 2017, questioning of their client, explaining that for two hours, Papadopoulos answered questions about professor Joseph Mifsud, Carter Page, Sergei Millian, the "Trump Dossier," and others on the campaign.
When Mifsud-the Maltese professor who in late April 2016 told Papadopoulos that the Russians had "Dirt on Hillary" in the form of "Thousands of emails"-visited the United States just two weeks later to speak at a State Department-sponsored conference, the FBI didn't even bother to have Papadopoulos reach out to his former colleague.
Why didn't the FBI wire Papadopoulos and arrange for him to meet with Mifsud during the State Department conference? What would be more natural than Papadopoulos, who had spent months in London communicating with Mifsud and working at Mifsud's London Centre of International Law, attending the professor's speech at the February 2017, Washington D.C. Global Ties conference and inviting him for dinner or drinks? Then Papadopoulos could steer the conversation to the Russia hacking and Mifsud's earlier comment about Russia having "Thousands of emails."
Then in January 2017, after Papadopoulos confirmed Mifsud was the source of his claim that the Russians had "Dirt" on Hillary, and had agreed to cooperate and contact Mifsud, and after the FBI "Located" Mifsud in D.C., the FBI didn't use Papadopoulos to ensnare the supposed Russian-agent whose purported foreknowledge of the hack justified the launch of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
