UPDATED: Deep State Targetting Of Papadopoulos--Before Joining Trump?
Maria Bartiromo has a terrific interview today with George Papadopoulos. I've wondered for some time--and I believe other readers/commenters have, as well--just how Papadopoulos ever became connected with the London Center for International Law Practice (LCILP), a certified Deep State front with long standing connections to the FBI and, presumably, other intel related actors? After Maria's excellent intro she walks us through the timeline of how Papadopoulos appears to have been groomed into being a dupe for the Deep State. It begins with LCILP offering Papadopoulos a prestigious sounding job (Director) in London through LinkedIn. In fact, Papadopoulos only worked there for about a month before joining the Trump campaign. However, before leaving LCILP he was whisked off to Links Campus University in Rome--an intel training center--to hobnob with Deep State operatives of the likes of Joseph Mifsud and Vincenzo Scotti, a former Italian Minister of Home Affairs who founded Links Campus.
The key here is that, before Papadopoulos has even begun work for the Trump campaign--but is known to be joining it--these Deep State operatives with FBI links begin trying to feed him with talk about Russia and potential Trump/Putin meetings. Once Papadopoulos had begun work with the Trump campaign, this morphed into talk of collusion and Russia possessing Hillary Clinton emails, with Papadopoulos being contacted by intel officials from multiple Five Eyes countries: the US, UK, Australia--hot and heavy.
Listen to the whole interview. Bartiromo brings up the issue that Barr has mentioned several times--the whole question of what predication, if any, there actually was for the targetting of Trump through his campaign associates. Toward the end Papadopoulos makes some excellent comments regarding the way he was set up and framed and draws parallels to the experience of Michael Flynn. I strongly suspect we haven't heard the last of that.
UPDATE 1: Maria also has a terrific interview with Devin Nunes.
Rep. Devin Nunes: We spent $30 million on this as taxpayers and they can’t even tell us who Joseph Mifsud is? So we’re getting to the bottom of this. We believe he has ties to the State Department. Actually, our State Department had him in the United States capital in 2017!
Nunes once again points out that the Mueller narrative for the case against Papadopoulos makes no sense:
UPDATE 2: Maria had quite a day! This interview with Jim Jordan is just dynamite:
