Why would he have known about the Australian diplomat in January? That did not become public info until recently. Maybe the FBI was feeding him info? Maybe he was counting Papadopoulos as a source because the FBI fed him the info.
The “Australian Diplomat” was found to have been long associated with & clearly coordinated with - ding - the Clinton Foundation ... the whole thing was concocted! Simpson’s wife Mary Jacoby had ties to old Clinton era Whitewater ties. Many dots to connect!
