THREAD: in May’16, George Papadopoulos told #Australia’s🇦🇺top diplomat in Britain that #Russia🇷🇺had dirt on Hillary Clinton.🤨

*Only 3 wks before*, Maltese “professor” Mifsud told PapaD that Russia had 1,000’s of emails that would embarrass HRC‼️1/

nytimes.com/2017/12/30/us/…

According to the NYTimes, PapaD had been drinking heavily, beforemspilling the beans to Aussie diplomat, Alexander Downer.🙄

Just 2 months later, hacked DNC emails began appearing online👉🏼Aussie officials passed the info about PapaD to US‼️ 2/

What so alarmed US officials to provoke the FBI to open a counterintelligence investigation into the Trump🇷🇺campaign months before the election⁉️

It was NOT the #SteeleDossier, as Trump & other Republicans have alleged.🤨 3/

Instead, what prompted FBI’s #TrumpRussia🇷🇺counterintelligence probe👉🏼MULTIPLE #Russians w/Kremlin ties trying to establish secret channels at w/ the Trump campaign‼️

Including FIRSTHAND intel of PapaD from #Australia, one of our closest allies.🤨

THANK YOU🇦🇺‼️

4/

The FBI disagreed in 2016 about how aggressively & publicly to pursue #TrumpRussia🇷🇺before the election. (Clearly, they’re NOT anti-Trump🙄)

But there was little debate about what seemed to be afoot w/#Russia’s blatant attempts to interfere‼️

5/

Fmr DirCIA John Brennan told Congress in May that he had been concerned about MULTIPLE contacts btwn #Russian🇷🇺officials & Trump advisers & testified that #Russia had tried to “suborn” members of the Trump campaign.🤨

And he KNEW about PapaD, thanks to the Aussie intel‼️

6/

In Mar’16, PapaD met Maltese “professor” Joseph Mifsud, a #Russian🇷🇺cutout w/contacts at Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.🤔

Mifsud had NO interest in PapaD until learning he worked on Trump’s campaign👉🏼latched onto him & tried to arrange a meet btwn Trump & Putin.🤨 7/

When Trump’s foreign policy team met for the 1st time in Mar’16, PapaD bragged that he had the contacts to set up a meet btwn Trump & Putin.🤨

According to meeting attendees, Trump “listened intently,” but deferred to Jeff SESSIONS‼️

And NO ONE called the FBI‼️🙄

🔥LIAR🔥

Sessions initially didn’t reveal PapaD’s discussion to Congress b/c he “did not recall it.”🙄

Sessions now conveniently “remembers” he pushed back against PapaD, b/c he “did not want someone so unqualified to represent the campaign on such a sensitive matter. “🤨

9/

🔥Yet #covfefe boy PapaD was trusted enough *to edit Trump’s 1st major foreign policy speech* on April 27👉🏼Trump said he wanted to improve relations w/#Russia🇷🇺.

PapaD flagged the speech to his Russian handlers, saying it should be taken as “the signal to meet.”‼️🤨

10/

Reactions from PapaD’s handlers:

👉🏼Maltese “professor” Mifsud: “That is a statesman speech.”🙄

👉🏼#Putin’s🇷🇺“niece” Olga Polonskaya sais she was pleased that Trump’s “position toward Russia is much softer” than that of other candidates.🤨

11/

In late Apr’16, Mifsud told PapaD that “high-level #Russian 🇷🇺officials in Moscow” informed him that #Russia had “dirt” on Clinton👉🏼“thousands of emails”.🤔

Although Russian hackers had been mining data from the DNC for months, that information was not yet public‼️ 12/

Soon after, PapaD told the Aussie diplomat about his contacts with the #Russians🇷🇺.

Their bar meeting happened b/c of a series of connections, beginning w/an Israeli Embassy official who introduced PapaD to another Aussie diplomat in London.🤔

THANK YOU🇦🇺‼️

13/

Once the info from the Aussie, as well as intel from the British, Dutch & other allied IC’s reached the FBI, the FBI opened the #TrumpRussia🇷🇺counterintel investigation.

Plus, Village Idiot Carter Page’s Moscow #treason🇷🇺trip also raised red flags at the FBI‼️

14/

With so many leads coming in — PapaD, Page, the hackers & more — the FBI debated how aggressively to investigate the campaign’s #Russia🇷🇺ties.🤨

Issuing subpoenas or questioning people could cause the probe to burst into public view in the final months of the campaign.🙄

15/

So if the FBI is such a biased, “leftist” organization, why didn’t they make the #TrumpRussia🇷🇺probe public BEFORE they investigation⁉️

Spoiler: they’re NOT a leftist group.🙄

So despite Republicans’ nattering about the “dodgy dossier”, the FBI didn’t interview Christopher Steele until early Oct’16.🤔

Steele had shown some of his findings to an FBI agent in Rome 3 mo earlier, but his info was NOT used to start the counterintelligence probe‼️

17/

🔥BANNON🔥

#Covfefe boy PapaD told Steve BANNON he could get a meet for Trump w/President Sisi of Egypt, after stories circulated that Clinton would meet w/Sisi.🤔

After scheduling the meet, PapaD sent a list of talking points to Bannon‼️

That’s some coffee boy‼️😂🤣

18/

Sergei Millian, a naturalized US citizen born in Belarus, bragged of his Trump ties & led the #Russian🇷🇺American Chamber of Commerce. No surprise, its board members & clients are difficult to confirm, consistent w/*yet another* Russian cutout.🙄

19/

Millian contacted PapaD “out of the blue” during summer’16👉🏼they met repeatedly.

Millian proposed that he & PapaD form an energy business financed by #Russian🇷🇺billionaires “not under sanctions” & would “open all doors for us” at “any level all the way to the top.”🤨

20/

Millian told PapaD that a #Russian🇷🇺billionaire wanted to explore opening a *Trump-branded hotel in Moscow*.🙄

Millian: “I know the president will distance himself from business, but his children might be interested.”🔥

Treason much⁉️

Seeing what #Russia🇷🇺offered “coffee boy” PapaD gives an idea of what senior Trump officials were offered‼️

Rosneft shares, anyone⁉️😉

Mueller is tracking down ALL leads, right to the very top, including Trump, his spawn & Pence.🤗

Team🇷🇺Trump is going DOWN‼️
