54. At any rate, Mr Downer relayed the information abt young George to
🇦🇺🕵🏼‍♂️Aussie Intel back home.
Canberra sat on the info for 2mos then passed it along to the 🇺🇸intel (enter Comey, Clapper & Brennan) July, just in time for a FISA application. themarketswork.com/2018/05/25/why…

55. And so, as July turns to August the FBI in the 🇺🇸decides to select their best agent, Peter Strzok🥒to bid farewell to his "paramour" FBI attorney Lisa Page w/orders to fly to 🇬🇧London for a sit-down w/the High Commissioner at Australia House. bigleaguepolitics.com/heres-how-come…

56. When Strzok reported back to Washington, the FBI sicced the omnipresent "professor" Stefan Halper on George Papadopoulos.
spectator.org/who-hired-stef…
It appears that Brennan and Strzok hired this bumptious fraud based on the recommendation of British intelligence.

57. So the @realDonaldTrump aide woke up one Aug morning to an email fr a Cambridge academic he'd never heard of, inviting him on an all-expense-paid trip back to Britain to give a spch for $3,000.

58. Once in London, Halper casually inquired of his new friend,

"George, you know about hacking the emails from Russia, right?"
americanthinker.com/blog/2018/05/s…

59. Right...but George
He was a nothing.
He was a nobody (which made him a perfect 'mark'
He was a young guy who wanted to go places.
He actually put on his résumé he participated in Model UN in high school.

60. So Papadopoulos was the perfect 'mark.' And the easiest way to reel him in is to get him OFF his home turf.

In your own neighborhood, you have your routine
- your usual bars, favorite restaurants; you notice if something's off.

61. But, flown to London, you have NO routine, NO old haunts.
You go where you're invited, you're introduced to important people
- like "High Commissioners"-
and you want them to think you're important, so you reveal that you know all abt the Russian "dirt" on Hillary.

62. "So George, u say u got dirt intel fr 🇷🇺Russians?"

Er.."no-I got it from a
🇲🇹Maltese guy in Italy 🇮🇹
who's a 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Scottish professor👨🏼‍🎓
& w/MI6🕵🏼‍♂️
& then I told it to an
🇦🇺Australian dude in
🇬🇧London who's also w/MI6 🕵🏼‍♂️...also..

63. ...who told me to "lay off David Cameron"; then an 🇺🇸American guy in Cambridge who's plugged in to MI6🕵🏼‍♂️ reminded me about "it" to see if I'd deny all knowledge of "it", which would be suspicious, ....wouldn't it..?🤔

64. As I said, there's ZERO Russians involved in the Russia investigation. foxnews.com/transcript/201…
But, like "a rumor"🗣️, u just put things out there & a few mons later they come back to u, via Canberra & the" 5-Eyes" intel-sharing program ...

65. ..then suddenly it goes from a "rumor"
to- "independently corroborated evidence from respected ally...
which then allowd the intel agent heads to take it to a FISA judge.👨🏼‍⚖️👩🏼‍⚖️

66. There were two investigations into presidential candidates during the 2016 election. But, as Andrew McCarthy reminds us, these two investigations were not the same. nationalreview.com/2018/05/crossf…

67. The Clinton "matter" was a criminal investigation- because there was credible evidence that Hillary had committed criminal acts.
realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/04/…
The FBI had no such clear-cut goods on @realDonaldTrump .
So they had to find something else:

68. 📢The scandal is
🔥The FBI, lacking the incriminating evidence needed to justify opening a criminal investigation of the @realDonaldTrump campaign, decided to open a counterintelligence investigation. thehill.com/opinion/white-…

69. With the cooperation & blessings of the Obama, they took the powers that enable our government to spy on foreign adversaries and used them to spy on Americans —
foxnews.com/politics/2017/…
Americans who just happened to be their political adversaries.
investors.com/politics/edito…

70. The advntg of a "counterintel investigation" unlike a criminal investigation, is that EVERYTHING in it is "CLASSIFIED"

So that even an obvious set-up at a Cambridge confab
or Kensington wine bar is "intel" that has 2b "PROTECTED"
for "national security" reasons.😉

71. It's a brazen, audacious scheme & unlikely to have been loosed w/out the approval, however discreetly stated, of the then President Obama.

kinda like that little "unmasking thingy"

72. Occam's Razor suggests that the man running the operation was the disgraced fomr CIA's dir John Brennan through the "inter-agency taskforce" that met at Langley.
theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/05/18/pre…
But Brennan isn't that reckless:

73. Go back to Madeleine Albright urging Carter Page to spk-up at a Cambridge conference; Christopher Steele leaking parts of dossier to newspapers; a staffer at Australia House inviting George Papadopoulos for a drink... theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/05/18/pre…

74. ...The best way to turn "nothing" into "something"is to plant it somewhere far away and wait for it to work its way back to you: theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/a…

75. Britain's spy agencies played a crucial role in alerting their counterparts in Washington to contacts btwn mbrs of @realDonaldTrump's campaign team & Russian intelligence operatives.

76. Golly, you don't say!?
I wonder who "told" The Guardian that.
americandigitalnews.com/2018/01/02/bre…
A conference here; a speech there; a cocktail round the corner; pretty soon you have the simulacrum of "counterintelligence" concerns from America's closest allies:

77. According to one account, GCHQ's then head, Robert Hannigan, passed material in summer 2016 to the CIA chief, John Brennan.
The matter was deemed so sensitive it was handled at "director level"
parkspoint.org/former-cia-chi…

78. After an initially slow start, Brennan used GCHQ information & intelligence from other partners to launch a major inter-agency investigation.
