In the memo, Papadopoulosās lawyers detailed the FBIās January 27, 2017, questioning of their client, explaining that for two hours, Papadopoulos answered questions about professor Joseph Mifsud, Carter Page, Sergei Millian, the āTrump Dossier,ā and others on the campaign. According to Papadopoulos, ā[t]he agents asked George if he would be willing to actively cooperate and contact various people they had discussed.ā Papadopoulos said he would be willing to try.
Yet when Mifsudāthe Maltese professor who in late April 2016 told Papadopoulos that the Russians had ādirt on Hillaryā in the form of āthousands of emailsāāvisited the United States just two weeks later to speak at a State Department-sponsored conference, the FBI didnāt even bother to have Papadopoulos reach out to his former colleague.
Instead, the FBI questioned Mifsud, then in the special counselās sentencing memorandum blamed Papadopoulos for the governmentās inability āto challenge the Professor or potentially detain or arrest him while he was still in the United States.ā According to Muellerās office, Papadopoulosā ālies also hindered the governmentās ability to discover who else may have known or been told about the Russians possessing ādirtā on Clinton,ā and prevented the FBI from determining āhow and where the Professor obtained the information [and] why the Professor provided information to the defendant.ā
I previously explained why the special counselās claim that Papadopoulosās lies impeded the FBIās investigation doesnāt fly. Papadopoulosās attorneys similarly argued in their memo that their clientās lies did not actually harm the FBIās probe, adding significantly that āGeorge was still a cooperating source in their investigationā at the time investigators questioned Mifsud.
That final point and the revelation in Papadopoulosā sentencing memo that the FBI had asked the former Trump advisor if he would be willing to contact Mifsudāand Papadopoulosā agreement to do soāexposes the FBIās purported investigation into Russia as a sham.
