Papadop's lawyer told judge that "the timeline is so important in this case" but his narrative screwed up simple chronology of events. More gong show.
2/ Pap met Mifsud in Rome on March 14, announced on Trump foreign policy team in WaPo on March 21, has lunch in London on Mar 24 with Mifsud and Olga; meets Trump foreign policy committee on Mar 31; has "dirt" breakfast with M on Apr 26. Apr 30 last day at LCILP.

Simple.
3/ @Techno_Fog got transcript. Watch how lawyers botch. They start with Mar 21 announcement of Trump foreign affairs committee.
4/ Pap lawyer Breen then says that "On March 24th, how this occurs we don't know, but he crosses paths with this Professor Mifsud". Nope - Mar 14 BEFORE Mar 21 announce. No mystery as to how, both Pap and Mifsud were associates of LCILP at LCILP visit to Link Campus - see photo
5/ next Breen reports Mar 31 meeting of foreign policy committee in Washington - placing it BEFORE Mar 24 lunch between Mifsud and Olga
6/ Breen says that Pap returned from March 31 meeting with Trump to London where he has second meeting with Mifsud, this time with Olga "who is related to President Putin". This second meeting was actually the Mar 24 meeting, which was BEFORE Mar 31.
7/ Nor, as everyone other than Breen appears to know, was Olga related to Putin. For reasons that remain obscure, Mifsud told the over-earnest Papadop that Olga was "Putin's niece", but she wasn't. Perhaps Breen meant to say something accurately but he didn't.
8/ Breen seems to conflate the Mar 24 lunch with Apr 26 breakfast. His narrative of second meeting conflates Mifsud "dirt" announcement with Mifsud claim to connections. Mifsud had claimed connections earlier and had already put Pap in touch with Timofeev on Apr 18.
9/ Breen says that after the "dirt" breakfast (Apr 26) Papadop "begins to work" on Trump-Putin "summit" meeting. Nope. Papadop had started on that one month earlier, had exchanged emails with Mifsud prior to Valdai (Apr 19) and was already dealing with Timofeev
10/ Almost certainly, Pap didn't pass "dirt" comment to campaign. His emails have been thoroughly parsed. Pap himself says no. But Breen: "He can guess, but he doesn't know who it was. So he didn't want to name any specific person because he's not sure he did."
11/ Pap was charged with lying to FBI because his chronology of Mifsud events relative to Trump events was incorrect. Ironically, Breen's chronology was arguably even more inaccurate. As was Mueller's. What a bunch of gongs.
12/ again, thanks to @Techno_Fog for transcript
