Questions, anyone??
Photo surfaces of Boris Johnson with Joseph Mifsud.
The "London professor" named in FBI docs who's now gone to ground..
..and who Boris specifically denied meeting.
(H/t to @gavinsblog for top digging.)
This was our story last week.
In which Boris denied meeting Mifsud.
And @Tobias_Ellwood refused to answer questions about his meeting with George Papadopoulos.

And this was the backgrounder.
Boris, Russia, Spies, Tories & £££.
Brexit, the ministers, the professor and the spy: how Russia pulls strings in UK theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
....and here's Boris denying he'd ever met Mifsud.

(h/t @Peterjukes who first uncovered the Boris/Mifsud connection).
byline.com/column/3/artic…
Oh yes. And this photo. That I found last week too.
Boris & Sergey Nalobin.
A Russian "diplomat" & "good friend".
Who was expelled from Britain after found running "Russian front group".
....And here's the same man who was with Boris Johnson & Mifsud....with Theresa May. You want to know who else he's friends with? The woman the @nytimes id-ed as "Putin's niece" in the FBI docs...
Weird, huh?
Good round-up of what we know so far about Boris-Mifsud from @brian_whit

Ugh. So here we go again. Major £££ Facebook campaign targeting dozens of Labour MPs. When is Britain going to wake up to what's going on. What went on. And how our democracy has been utterly corrupted & debased by Facebook
Constituents of target Labour MPs being sent these ads by right-wing group. Here's @YvetteCooperMP but there's dozens more. When will Labour wake up & see the issues we've uncovered aren't to do with party politics, they're to do with democracy

NEW: Cambridge Analytica said US voter @profcarroll had no more right to know what data the company held on him than "a Taliban sitting in a cave". Today, it pleads guilty in case brought by Britain's ICO. This is a big deal. US citizens! You have..drum roll..rights to your data!
This has been a long haul for @profcarroll. We first wrote about his battle to get this data here. Today, Cambridge Analytica finally concede that he had a right to this data. Next question: will he actually get it?
theguardian.com/technology/201…
This all happening in the glamorous environs of Hendon magistrate's court. About as incongruous a location as you can imagine for qs about what data Cambridge Analytica had on 230 million US voters. Why was CA so determined not to hand it over? No answers to that today...

Instead of shitting on other journalists, Buzzfeed, why not *do* journalism? Your biggest investor sits on Facebook's board & is a close friend of Zuck's. He's refused to answer my qs about his sale of Facebook stock - right before Cambridge Analytica story first broke. Why?
You were the main publication shitting on the Cambridge Analytica story two years ago. "Snake oil"! "Conspiracy theory"! And you've been shitting on me ever since I published Wylie's story back in March.

It's all been just a bit odd

Papadopoulos To Tell Congress About Series Of Suspicious Interactions Ahead Of 2016 Election dailycaller.com/2018/10/24/geo…
Some of the suspicious People Papadopolous names have been widely discussed in the press: Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud, former Australian diplomat Alexander Downer, FBI informant Stefan Halper & alleged Steele dossier source Sergei Millian.
But Papadopoulos identified five other people — Azra Turk, Aziz Choukri, Charles Tawil, Terrence Dudley and Gregory Baker — whose interactions he now questions.

1. It's been 2 weeks since we've heard from #QAnon, but #Q now relates "BLACKOUT NECESSARY", to go from "DARK TO LIGHT".

He's speaks now of "A WEEK TO REMEMBER"
"BOOM.
BOOM.
BOOM.
BOOM."
#Q

.
2. Some have noted that #QAnon's message resembles a gun, when turned upside-down with #Q as the hammer.

1. Quite a statement coming from the "failing NYT": "Efforts by a hostile foreign power to influence an American presidential election — with or without the assistance or knowledge of the winning candidate — may well be a scandal “bigger than Watergate!” #CrossfireHurricane
2. In the UK, at a Cambridge University “Race To Change The World” conference, July 11-12, 2016, with Madeleine Albright at the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences, & Humanities (CRASSH), #StefanHalper approached Carter Page. bigleaguepolitics.com/exclusive-cart…
3. "To be clear, #CarterPage has always been open about the fact that he has never met Donald Trump." But the former FBI intel operator, Naval Academy graduate with background in Navy intel'd somehow been desgnated a Trump campaign adviser just a few months earlier.

1. Is a mysterious British private spy firm linked to a series of “collusion” stings on the @realDonaldTrump team?
2. The British end of the 2016 "sting" campaign against @realDonaldTrump is unlikely to get a mention in the 1st @JusticeOIG reprt from IG Horowitz, due out soon. @DevinNunes reprts haven't focused on this potentially huge story much either.
3. Alexander Downer's 2016 "chat" w/GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS at the Kensington Wine Rooms abt Cypriot JOSEPH MIFSUD & "Hilary emails" allegedly sparked FBI's July 2016 counterintel investigation.

All Russiagate Roads Lead To London As Evidence Emerges Of Joseph Mifsud’s Links To UK Intelligence

disobedientmedia.com/2018/04/all-ru…
Each of these strands of UK-tied elements of the Russiagate narrative can be substantially dismantled on close inspection. This untangling process leads to the surprising conclusion that UK intelligence services fabricated evidence of collusion to create the #TrumpRussia.
Mifsud strongly denied claims that he was associated with Russian intelligence, telling Italian newspaper Repubblica that he was a member of the European Council on Foreign Relations and the Clinton Foundation.
