1) This article is a deep state ploy and spin maneuver - it's a desperate attempt at exonerating the FBI's behavior in obtaining FISA warrants based on the Clinton dossier, because those people know that they are in deep trouble. Anything that appears in the Slimes or Compost at this point is deep state spin to save their behinds;
2) Notice the first date - May 2016 - and remember that Fusion GPS was already at work on the dossier by April;
3) Notice that the first revelations occurred during a "night of heavy drinking";
4) Notice the attempt to portray Papadopolous as an influential figure, when in reality he was an ambitious nobody who liked to talk big and had a tenuous grasp of reality;
5) Remember that nothing that Papadopolous is alleged to have done in this article is illegal, and that he pled guilty to a process crime of lying to the FBI, and was not charged with espionage or other serious felony;
6) Remember that the "dirt' on Hillary Clinton is more likely a reference to her deleted home server emails than it is to refer to info obtained from the alleged DNC "hack."
A couple of days ago, I speculated in a dossier thread that Papadopolous was likely to have been one of Steele's sources, and that hunch, based on this story, seems to have been correct.
I can’t wait for one of these articles that it took six libs to write. They are up to three now.
Bkmk
Same old playbook. IIRC, Joe Wilson, of Plame game, was sitting in a bar talking about “yellowcake”. Something had to fit the narrative and they were running out of options. Looks like the same type ofploy/ruse.
SHARON LaFRANIERE, MARK MAZZETTI and MATT APUZZO. The real question is how many checks have these three cashed from Fusion GPS.
Yep this is their bs rationale for spying on Trump. They are going to pressure this guy into saying this when it’s probably 90% lies.
Oops.
Whatever happeed to "Snitches get stiches?"
Why did they wait 2 months?
George P clearly looks like a plant sent in to discredit the Trump admin.
Next question?
Check out Article, - and # 1.
Hillary helped the Russians get control of 20% of U.S. uranium. Why would the Russians be trying to undermine her? This whole Trump-Russia collusion story is upside down, and it always has been.
Bump
So, the NY Slimes states that Papadopoulos is a “foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign” (whatever that means).
Based on what evidence? Papadopoulos’ shoes’ price, the number of coffees Papadopoulos has served to Trump staffs?
Inquiring minds would like to know...
thx for heads up
You are pretty much correct. This is all too little too late...too much info is public. The DOJ & the FBI are in deep with no way out. Ugly times are coming. Even the Palmetto princess Miss Lindsey Graham sees the writing on the wall.
cusious as to the timing../s
release of Huma’s emails, ramping up of info and anger evident in the populace..etc.
Was the Greek guy making a hook-up?
What was Australias top diplomat in Britain doing in a bar chit-chatting with the underling?
This began the Russian myth:
In other calls with advisers and political surrogates in; the days after the election, Hillary declined to take responsibility for her own loss. "She's not being particularly self-reflective," said one longtime ally who was on calls with her shortly after the election. Instead, Hillary kept pointing her finger at Comey and Russia. "She wants to make sure all these narratives get spun the right way," this person said.
The strategy had been set within twenty-four hours of her concession speech. Mook and Podesta assembled her communications team at the Brooklyn headquarters to engineer the case that the election wasn't entirely on the up-and-up. For a couple of hours, with Shake Shack containers littering the room, they went over the script they would pitch to the press and the public. Already, Russian hacking was the centerpiece of the argument.

It's saddening to think of the money that has been wasted on this ridiculous, self-serving fairy tale simply because its tellers appear to think they can weaken Trump through it. It's not working, folks. Give it up.
The NY Slimes is trying to get their lie out there ahead of the revelations that the FBI and DOJ used the unverified, made-up from whole cloth, paid for by Clinton and the DNC, fake Trump dossier to get a FISA warrant so they could spy on Trump and his people.
It's not hard to figure who was behind this effort. Someone above the FBI-DOJ. That would be Obama.
Today’s media talking point.
Fakebook is pushing this hard.
And what was in the emails can never ever be discussed #StolenPrimary
