I’m currently reading “The Faking of Russia-gate” by Stephen Roh, Joseph Mifsud’s attorney & business partner.
Despite having been released over 2 years ago, it’s one of the better books I’ve read on Spygate.

In this thread, I just want to focus on a claim Roh makes about George Papadopoulos in early May 2016.
He believes PapaD must have learned about the Russians possibly possessing Clinton’s emails from the reporting of Fox News and/or Breibart.

On May 4, Fox News ran an exclusive interview with the Romanian hacker Guccifer.

On May 5, an article appeared on Breitbart stating Gufficer had accessed HRC’s private server.

Also on May 5, Judge Napolitano claimed on Fox Business that his sources were telling him that the Russians and other foreign countries had hacked Clinton’s server.

Going back to May 4: @HansMahncke pointed out to me that Papadopoulos received an email from his connection at the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ivan Timofeev, that said they were "open for cooperation.”

On May 6, PapaD told Australian diplomat Erica Thompson that the Russians offered to release information that could be damaging to Clinton’s campaign.
8\
Here's the question -- did PapaD combine Timofeev’s openness to ‘cooperate’ with news about Guccifer hacking HRC’s server and turn into a tale that the Russians were prepared to release kompromat on Clinton to aid the Trump campaign?
PapaD has been known to exaggerate.

This video by Sonofnewo details just one example of how PapaD took information he learned and immediately relayed it to someone else with embellishments.

I’m also including another video by Sonofnewo that breaks down PapaD’s claim that Mifsud told him the Russians had thousands of HRC’s emails.

Hopefully this thread can be a resource for those taking a closer look at those pivotal days in May 2016.
I’ll have more thoughts on The Faking of Russia-gate later.
