For those advancing the myth that the FBI’s investigation into Trump began with the mid-2016 George Papadopoulos tip, please stop the nonsense. IT WAS THE DOSSIER.
It wasn’t even until December 2017 that the New York Times introduced the theory that Papadopoulos was responsible for sparking the investigation. The Times detailed how Papadapoulos allegedly told Australian diplomat Alexander Downer that he possessed dirt on Hillary Clinton, and heard that Russia possessed her hacked emails in a May 2016 meeting (obviously he didn’t possess them). Downer, who is no friend of Trump and once helped broker a $25 million donation from the Australian government to the Clinton Foundation, has since dismissed the contents of the meeting as “banal.”
While the framing of Papadopoulos could fill the pages of a book, the most relevant detail in this article is that the FBI didn’t even interview him until 2017. If they were so concerned that he possessed information that would have proven collusion, why wait? Papadopoulos would eventually be charged with making false statements to the FBI during an interview on January 27, 2017—a minor charge that has led to no indictment relating to collusion.
The evidence for that is undeniable: Nellie Ohr worked for the company that created the dossier (Fusion GPS) and met with her husband Bruce Ohr from DOJ, and dossier author Christopher Steele on July 30, 2016 Bruce Ohr then met with the FBI on the same day, July 30, 2016 and the FBI case is opened the next day, July 31, 2016.
As you already gleaned from the fact that Papadopoulos wasn’t interviewed until the following year after his alleged wrongdoings, it was clearly not he central to the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation. The same cannot be said about the dossier: MORE
Let’s cut to the chase. The targeting of DJT did not start with Pappa or Carter Page.
It was made up by John Brennan, his creepy counterparts in the UK, and disseminated to other known criminals within our IC. Pappa/Page were just in the right place at the wrong time.
I think “it takes a village” applies here more than anything.
There was a whole cabal at work here! Whether is was Hilldebeast or one of her flying monkeys that dreamed up this shit, it makes no difference to me. They’re all in the thick of it primarily to cover their own asses!
And what about Carter Page….
The original FISA application….
Where did that go?
Nowhere….
TO GM
Trump said he was going to declassify it…or, what do you mean?
With everything that has been revealed, I’m waiting for some significant actions to come from it (other than Congress starting their own investigations of Trump instead of all the ones that have been exposed).
But I’m not holding my breath while I wait.

Nor am I. It’s challenging getting out “I for one, welcome our new overlords. There is but one God, and Mohammad is his messenger. Can I help build the gallows?” in one breath. Practice, practice, practice.
