@realexmaple @FOOL_NELSON @shipwreckedcrew @wakeywakey16 @Guccifer2Henry re-reading the EC, I agree that base case should be that this paragraph relies on earlier Australian reporting, not on Pass The Telephone at Legat or Dibble stage.
@realexmaple @FOOL_NELSON @shipwreckedcrew @wakeywakey16 @Guccifer2Henry So it's probably not a 4-stage Pass The Telephone problem. However, Papadopoulos' ravings and whispering are easy enough to misunderstand under the best of circumstances, let alone when he was getting drunk with Erika. ( Base case is May 6 with Erika, not May 10 with Downer)
@realexmaple @FOOL_NELSON @shipwreckedcrew @wakeywakey16 @Guccifer2Henry Consider the problems that arise with FBI 302s under relatively controlled circumstances. Erika wasn't taking notes; there was no transcript or recording. What are the chances that Erika mischaracterized Papadopoulos' nonsense in earliest report? Pretty high.
@realexmaple @FOOL_NELSON @shipwreckedcrew @wakeywakey16 @Guccifer2Henry We know that, in late July, the whole bunch of them - Downer, Dibble, Strzok - were unaware that DNC emails were exfiltrated in late May 2015 - AFTER Papadopoulos meeting - and that Papadop could not possibly have been informed about DNC email hack - whatever he may have said.
@realexmaple @FOOL_NELSON @shipwreckedcrew @wakeywakey16 @Guccifer2Henry even in his memoir Compromised, published in fall 2020, Strzok remained obtuse to the fact that the DNC emails had NOT been hacked or exfiltrated at time of Papadop May 6 or May 10 meeting and falsely believed Pap had advance knowledge. It is so stupid.
