a puzzle on Papadopoulos' plea. Pap said that Mifsud told him about "dirt" early on, while FBI said that Mifsud actually told him about "dirt" in "late April". Since Mifsud flatly denied telling Pap about dirt and no record in contemporary emails , how did FBI KNOW "late April"?
2/ after puzzling a long time about this, I just noticed "late April" date in Schiff memo on Page FISA warrant of Oct 2016, i.e. three months before interviewing Pap in Jan 2017. So what was basis of "late April" date in FISA application?
3/ only apparent source as of Oct 2016 would appear to be Downer's original statement to Strzok in early August. In April 2018 Downer interview with The Australian archive.is/FXsyD, detail that Pap told in "late April" not mentioned.
4/ question: did Downer directly tell Strzok that Pap learned about "material" in "late April"? Or was this assumed/deduced by Strzok because meeting between Downer and Pap was on May 10? Also, did Pap tell Downer "late April" or did Downer assume/deduce?
5/ there's another possibility presented in Roh's book: that Pap's knowledge of emails and dirt came from Breitbart or Fox News (which carried story about Russians having Hillary emails) and not from Mifsud. Perhaps Pap, intimidated by Mueller thugs, panicked and "composed"
6/ i.e. he's guilty of lying. Just not guilty of the lies with which he's been charged and pleaded.
7/ this doesn't justify Mueller's disgraceful Sentencing Memorandum, where they ludicrously blame Papadop for incompetent FBI questioning of Mifsud or for their ludicrous use of incident to fan Russia fantasies
