How the Russia Inquiry Began: A Campaign Aide, Drinks and Talk of Political Dirt
FBI Russia probe helped by Australian diplomat tip-off: NYT
NYT: Papadopoulos told Australian diplomat Russia had Clinton dirt
Papadopoulos, then a foreign policy adviser to Donald Trump's campaign, was drinking at an upscale London bar when he told Australia's top diplomat in Britain, Alexander Downer, that Russia had political information on Clinton.
About two months after the meeting with Downer, after WikiLeaks posted hacked Democratic National Committee emails online, Australian officials passed Papadopoulos' information along to their US counterparts, the Times reported, citing four current and former American and foreign officials with direct knowledge of the Australians' role.
--------------------
Even right here on the USMB, Republicans everywhere pounced hoping to squash the Steele Dossier.
Turns out, while the GOP was chasing this Dossier, the real reason was one of Trump's senior aides, retroactively reduced to role of "coffee boy" was indeed colluding with the Russians and had knowledge of feloniously stolen documents. The same documents Trump Jr. was getting a chubby about.
Hilarious!
