1/ In addition to the only evidence for Mifsud being Pap's Jan 2017 "recollection", the ONLY evidence for !April 26! (as opposed to, say, Mar 14 or 24) is Pap AFTER arrest. If, after arrest, Pap was trying to explain his statement that Mifsud told him BEFORE he joined Trump
2/ campaign, he had a very plausible argument (IMO) that he didn't know for sure that Trump had accepted Clovis' recommendation until Trump actually made the official announcement in late March. He could plausibly claim another couple of weeks as he transitioned from LCILP job.
3/ the April 26 date was by far the worst for him relative to his claim to have got info from Mifsud BEFORE joining Trump campaign. There is NO other evidence for !April 26! than Papadop himself. So why did he pick !April 26! ? As Hans said, Pap composed to please Mueller.
4/ why did Papadop compose to please Mueller? This is important question. Mueller team clearly intimidated Pap into composing. (And Pap was willing composer.) People have speculated on intimidation having something to do with Israeli spy. But it could be something else.
5/ What if Mueller team were the ones who, after arrest, planted the idea with Pap that they had evidence that Mifsud gave him information at !April 26! meeting. Once Pap confessed to !April 26!, the fact that Mueller didn't have such evidence got washed away. Pap, a serial liar
6/ and fantasist, was perfect mark for Mueller thugs.
