On Apr 25, 2016, the day before Mifsud told Papadop abt "damaging" material, Ivan Timofeev (at right), Mueller's supposed Russian superspy (actually a respected academic), held seminar with two officials of US think tank CSIS: Jeffrey Mankoff, Olga Oliker russiancouncil.ru/en/news/rsmd-i…

a month earlier (Mar 16, 2016), Richard Weitz, Papadop's former boss at Hudson Institute, spoke at same Russian think tank, RIAC. Its program director was Ivan Timofeev - also program director at Valdai Club where Mifsud was panelist on April 19. russiancouncil.ru/en/news/public…

3/ were Weitz, Mankoff and Oliker, under Mueller's theory, also being groomed by Timofeev as supposed spies? They actually met with Timofeev, whereas Papadop merely corresponded with him briefly.

4/ indeed, right under Mueller's nose, Timofeev's RIAC had been engaged in a long-term joint report with US think tank CSIS on US-Russia relations, culminating in an August 2017 report entitled A Roadmap for US-Relations

5/ the report, jointly written by US think tank CSIS, cheekily thanked Ivan Timofeev, who, by day, was RIAC program director, but, by night, Mueller's supposed superspy, as well as Jeffrey Mankoff of CSIS - a potential spy in waiting under Mueller's theory

6/ but the situation at CSIS (the partner of Timofeev's RIAC in the major report) was even more dire than previously thought. On Sep 19, 2016, another potential target was invited at CSIS for grooming as a possible Russian spy: Comey himself.

7/ Comey was introduced at his Sep 19, 2016 CSIS townhall by Kathleen Hicks of CSIS, who had appeared with Timoffev at the Apr 25, 2016 RIAC-CSIS seminar (a few days after Mifsud)

8/ by Sep 2016, investigation of Papadopoulus was in full swing. Comey had personal access to people, including Kathleen Hicks, who knew Timofeev personally. And yet dogged gumshoe Comey didn't ask them a single question.

9/ there's a fundamental dishonesty in Mueller's position on Timofeev. If he really believed that Timofeev is spy recruiter (for which no evidence), then Mueller needed to conduct far-reaching counter-intelligence investigation into CSIS, Hudson Institute, Comey, etc.

10/ if no evidence that Timofeev was spy recruiter, then what's left? Mifsud's odd introduction of Olga Polonskaya as "Putin's niece"? Italian newspaper may have understood this best: they asked if this was like "Mubarak's niece" (Ruby the Heartstealer). To which Mifsud chuckled.

11/ on Aug 21, 2017, neocon Richard Weitz of Hudson Institute, Papadop's former boss, participated in Valdai discussion moderated by Timofeev (Valdai program director and Mueller's alleged superspy). Right under Mueller's nose.

12/ on April 3, 2016 - only two weeks before Mifsud - five US congressmen: three Dems (David Cicilline, Brian Higgins, Juan Vargas) , two Reps(French Hill, Dana Rohrbacher) participated in Valdai Club discussion. Has Mueller investigated these "targets"?
