Wonder if Ivan Timofeev knows Podesta and friends. Wondering because he pops up only after Papadopolous fails to arrange a meeting, is shot down, to claim that Papadopolous tried to call them to arrange a meeting.
Sounds to me like Timofeev is trying to reinforce or establish the appearance that Papadopolous was acting on his own and wasn’t put up to it by either the FBI, the Russians, or the Clinton campaign, maybe even Fusion GPS.

For the first time, Trump also listed members of a team chaired by Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) that is counseling him on foreign affairs and helping to shape his policies: Keith Kellogg, Carter Page, George Papadopoulos, Walid Phares and Joseph E. Schmitz.

Or he was working with the British guy Christopher Steele.

[piasa]

...Which if that’s the case would mean Papadopolous was put up to it by the Dems and FBI since both the Dems and the FBI hired former UK MI6 guy Christopher Steele via Fusion.

Talk about collusion...FBI and foreigners trying to trap Trump in a sting.

[piasa]

Another thing that happens after Papadopolous gets shot down is Sally Yates decides to send a heads up memo warning employees about the Hatch Act. Why did she pick March 2016 to do that?

[RegulatorCountry]

Does he ping anybody else's gaydar?

[piasa]

Carter Page, Sessions and Kubic, even Manafort, shut down Papadopolous’s attempts in March 2016...

Now we know the Dems were using the law firm of Marc Elias , Perkins Coie, to given this Fusion GPS conspiracy cover through attorney-client privilege.

[piasa]

I wonder if the DNC server that the Dems would not allow the FBI to see has any mention of Dem communications with Timofeev or Papadopolous in it? Would Seth Rich have had contact with the equally young Papadopolous?

[Jane Long]

BTTT.

[piasa]

Daily Caller articles make a lot of sense...

[SE Mom]

I wasn’t happy about some of these choices at the time, but I’d never heard of Popodopolous.

[Kickass Conservative]

Just heard the local radio news say that this Bozo has a deal with Mule Deer to dish some dirt on the Trump Campaign in exchange for his pleading Guilty a Month ago.

Doesn’t sound like an accurate assessment to me.

[piasa]

More likely this bozo just had some info to give up on Manafort and Rick Gates.

[piasa]

Manafort apparentlu gave in to the little squirt and had the meeting in June.

Mueller’s going to try to flip Manafort into drawing someone else in.

Thanks for the ping!

[piasa]

Do you know anything about Timofeev?

[Fedora]
