Mifsud vanished in early November 2017, shortly after the Papadopoulos story broke.
I’ve found four different meetings between Papadopoulos and Mifsud:
March 14, 2016 – First known meeting. Papadopoulos met Mifsud in Italy approximately one week after officially joining the Trump team.
March 24, 2016 – Papadopoulos, Mifsud, Olga Polonskaya and unknown fourth party met in a London cafe.
April 18, 2016 – Mifsud introduced Papadopoulos to Ivan Timofeev, an official at a state-sponsored think tank called Russian International Affairs Council.
April 26, 2016 – Mifsud claims to have met with high-level Russian government officials who have “dirt” on Clinton. Papadopoulos told the FBI that Mifsud said “the Russians had emails of Clinton” and “they have thousands of emails.”
Although the common story is that Mifsud is a Russian Agent, many ties seem to lead back to UK Intelligence.
Julian Assange put out a Twitter Thread noting the connection between Mifsud and UK Intelligence.
Disobedient Media has done a series of articles on Mifsud’s strange background – or lack thereof:
All Russiagate Roads Lead To London As Evidence Emerges Of Joseph Mifsud’s Links To UK Intelligence.
A Conversation With Chris Blackburn On The Contradictions Surrounding Mifsud.
Chris Blackburn Discusses Legacy Press Coverage Of Joseph Mifsud.
Chris Blackburn had this to say:
If Mifsud is a genuine Russian asset, he has been enabled by the United States’ most trusted allies. His relationship with senior intelligence and political leaders in Europe should constitute one of the greatest security breaches in decades.
I don’t have enough information to make a determination on Mifsud at this point, but I suspect ties with British Intelligence will prove accurate.
Mifsud was just the opening salvo directed at young Papadopoulos.
October, 2017–Mifsud goes missing.
“Disobedient Media”. I like that!
Great article. I read it when Dan Bongino linked to it. The more visibility, the better...thanks for posting it.
There’s more on Halper here:
The short version:
So, what did [Halper] do?
Simple, his job was to locate then dirty-up anyone he could convince: 1) to meet with him; 2) engage in his requests; and 3) engage contacts he set up. Halper was setting up a classic operation to use unknown “useful idiots” to give the appearance of Russian allies/actors.
Halper provided the underlying imaging, the optics needed for the “EC” referral; which Brennan then used to trigger James Comey; who originated the FBI Counterintelligence Operation.
The fraudulent origin, in combination with the October FISA warrant needed for surveillance gathering, would drive the insurance policy that Peter Strzok described to Lisa Page.
sordid details ping!
