Papadopoulos or the dossier?

Papadopoulos or the dossier?

The New York Times reports that the impetus for the FBI’s investigation of suspected collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia was not the anti-Trump dossier, but rather statements made by George Papadopoulos. He was the young Trump campaign staffer who later pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.

According to the Times, after a heavy night of drinking, Papadopoulos told Australia’s top diplomat in Britain that Russia had political dirt on Hillary Clinton. Two months later, when leaked Democratic emails began appearing online (none of which, by the way, rose to the level of “dirt” on Hillary), Australian officials passed the information about Papadopoulos to their American officials. This information supposedly led the FBI to open an investigation in July 2016 into Russia’s attempts to disrupt the election and whether any of President Trump’s associates conspired.

Papadopoulos may well have done this, but I think this is just an attempt to invalidate the purchased dossier.

It appears to be an attempt to ward off the perception the dossier was used to justify a FISA warrant.  the truth remains to be seen.

Except the timeline doesn't fit with the NYT's assertions. Nice try at deflection and distraction though.
