Dan Bongino lays it all out. He has the best analysis of what happened between Papa-D and >>>
Alexander Downer, Stephan Halper and Joeseph Mifsud.
No one know where Mifsud is these days. Halper and Mifsud are US and or UK or European intelligence assets who at least here were working with American anti-Trump forces.
If you listen to Bongino podcasts then you know how it all really went down for Papa-D and Carter Page.
I agree, I think he does have the best analysis.
Still. I try to steer myself at least a little bit away from my own confirmation bias. Bongino is a *very* passionate and very direct advocate for his theory of events, not that’s it’s “his” theory. Am I being bowled over?
As for Mifsud, there’s good reason to believe that our intel agys don’t *want* to find him, or for him to be found. And that’s easy enough for them, they just send him to a small obscure Italian or Greek island for an extended vacation.
With regard to Papa, I am unclear why there would be “a dozen” or “dozens” of lies/misstatements in the charging papers. Now I understand he was interviewed on at least 3 and possibly four multi-hour occasions and probably has about 01:30 worth of actual information to impart. He’s a pretty young guy, probably pretty naive; of course anyone on earth seems naive relative to the incredibly devious information planting story in which he has been caught up. FBI interrogators must have turned him around big time. I obviously have no way of knowing, but he clearly stepped into something many many feet above his head.
