The George Papadopoulos Origin Story has never added up.
We are to believe that what led to the opening of the FBI's Trump-Russia investigation, and what therefore is the plinth of the collusion narrative, is a breakfast meeting at a London hotel on April 26, 2016, between Papadopoulos and Joseph Mifsud, a Maltese academic we are supposed to take for a clandestine Russian agent.
During her career in the British foreign service, Smith worked with Mifsud at three different academic institutions: the London Academy of Diplomacy, the University of Stirling, in Scotland, and Link Campus University in Rome, where Mifsud first met Papadopoulos.
Thierry Pastor, a French political analyst who co-wrote a book about l'affaire Papadopoulos, made this observation about Mifsud's brag that he knew Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov: "Yes, he met Lavrov. He met him once or twice in a large group. He knows Lavrov, but Lavrov doesn't know Joseph. contacts in Russia are with academics."
In his February 2017 FBI interview, Mifsud denied saying anything to Papadopoulos about Clinton-related emails in the possession of the Kremlin.
Prior to being interviewed by the FBI in January 2017, Papadopoulos never reported anything about Russia's having emails - neither to his Trump-campaign superiors, to whom he was constantly reporting on his conversations with Mifsud, nor to Alexander Downer, the Australian diplomat whose conversation with Papadopoulos was the proximate cause for the formal opening of the FBI probe.
Is the Mifsud-Papadopoulos connection a case of Western intelligence agencies entrapping the Trump campaign by first using an "Asset" to plant a damning "Russia helping Trump" story with Papadopoulos, and later using another "Asset" to try to get Papadopoulos to repeat that story so that "Collusion" could be proved?
