Remember all the questions about why Mifsud introduced Olga Vinogradova, one of his students, to Papadopoulos as "Putin's niece"? Newly released 302s show that he didn't. Whole thing is bogus.
2/ in his Feb 1 (2nd) interview, Papadop said that Olga was introduced to him by Mifsud merely as "one of Mifsud's students". Papadop said "grumbling" by Nagi Idris of LCILP gave him idea that she was "Putin's niece or a relative in some capacity". 
3/ Story that Mifsud introduced Olga as "Putin's niece" was put into play by (crooked) Mueller investigators, who falsely stated in Oct 5, 2017 Statement of Offense that MIFSUD had introduced Olga as "relative of Putin" with connections. Watch the pea here.
4/ Statement of Offense also said that Papadopoulos had emailed Clovis on March 24 saying that Mifsud had introduced him to the Russian ambassador - a fabrication - and to "Putin's niece".
5/ did Idris Nagy really "grumble" about Olga as "relative of Putin"? Keep in mind that Papadop email to Clovis appears to be on same day as his meeting with Mifsud and Olga. So it would take (implausible) split-second timing for Nagy to comment on Olga between meeting and email
6/ we know that, in Mar 24 email to Clovis, Papadop fabricated claim to have met Russian ambassador. My guess is that Papadop also fabricated claim about "Putin's niece" (in order to boost self-importance) and then fabricated attribution to Idris Nagy.
7/ Papadop's fantasies and fairy tales were bad enough. However, Mueller's deceptions are much worse. Mueller must have known Papadop's stuff was bogus, and, if they didn't, they were hopelessly incompetent. Both just as bad.
8/ there's also an interesting angle on the 302 for the Jan 27, 2017 interview - only three days after Flynn interview (@SidneyPowell1 ). Interview was "more than two hours" and was basis for false statement charges.
@SidneyPowell1 9/ however, the 302 for Jan 27 contained absolutely ZERO information on what Papadop said, other than (possibly) two redacted lines. I don't doubt that Papadop lied on Jan 27 (as he is congenital liar), but there's no evidence in 302.
@SidneyPowell1 10/ another possibility is it was, after all, Mifsud who gave this false story to Papadop and that Papadop lied to FBI about Idris Nagy as being source of "Putin's niece" story, but Mueller didn't charge Papadop with this lie. A gong show, no matter how one cuts it.
@SidneyPowell1 11/ I withdraw my above comment about uninformativeness of Jan 27 302. Marcy Wheeler observed that this 302 was only about travel to station and did not include substantive interview, which she believes is in 12 withheld pages. This makes sense.

@SidneyPowell1 12/ on Feb 10, Papadopoulos told FBI (and DOJ) that he had "lied" to Trump campaign about Russian ambassador.
