    From the article you were kind enough to link:

    Clovis received an email, out of the blue, from Halper, whom he did not know, on August 29, 2016

    I bold the date. It is worth keeping in mind these dates. A second date to keep in mind is May 10, 2016. That was when Downer had drinks with Papadopoulos.

    Downer sent a cable back to Australian government authorities within 48 hours of the Papadopoulos encounter. The information was not provided to the FBI until months later when Joe Hockey, Australia’s ambassador to the U.S., passed it to American authorities in late July 2016. He was prompted to share the information by WikiLeaks’ release of hacked DNC emails.

    The FBI's “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation was officially opened on July 31, 2016.

    I think the dates are important to keep in mind.

    As for Mifsud's whereabouts, I have no clue. I find it interesting that his friend and benefactor Stephan Roh is one of those peddling the theory that the whole thing is a "game" being played by western intelligence agencies and the Clinton Foundation. In due course, I expect we will learn more about Mifsud and Roh.

    Also from the article linked above:

    "This is just my speculation -- I have no knowledge," Clovis told me. "I think [Halper] was using his meeting with me to give him bona fides to talk to George Papadopoulos. He used Carter Page to get to me and he used me to get to George. George was the target. I think George was the target all along."

    Is this supposed to be some sort of revelation? It would be dereliction of duty if the FBI were not trying to trying to understand what exactly Mifsud shared with Papadopoulos, and what Papadopoulos in turn did with that information.

    I also find this quote from Clovis interesting:

    "As far as I know, no one in the campaign lifted a finger to get to the 30,000 emails."

    Duh. The Russians and Wikileaks were willing to make sure the emails was disseminated. They were kind enough to create a situation where no one in the campaign had to lift a finger. It is an interesting denial of an accusation that no one is making.

    Rinat Akhmetshin recently testified having a direct connection to Clinton. Plot thickens as the say.

    Um, I confess I've lost the thread a little bit. Are you saying that the Papadopoulos approach and the "adoption" meeting were both Deep State setups?

    Considering that there was some irregularities of the state deparmentment granted her a VISA to enter the country after it was denied no more than 4 months prior I'd say its obviously all a deep state plot.

    Haven't you learned my Schtick by now?

    I could see an Australian disputing exactly how much consumption would constitute "heavy drinking."

    In the courtroom lawyers use specific words to strengthen their case so I would argue that word usage plays a big role.

    Describing something as 'dirt' seems more malicious.

    Just as the FISA application used word gymnastics to describe the HRC connection to the Dossier this may in fact be done specifically to mislead the FISA judges.

    Scoff at it all you want but its just another piece in the shady activities of the FBI and DOJ under the Obama administration.

    But the references to dirt and shocking revelations were made by a reporter.

    We don't know how it was raised and I should have clarified that point. Thats why I think its essential the FISA applications are declassified.

    Thanks for sharing. Are we ever going to know what these intercept's say? The only description really was of Kremlin officers speaking about Trump but no real back and forth. You can just say that sources tell me X.

    Let's see some evidence.

    "I am even more convinced that the FBI did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do when they got the information they got, and that it has nothing to do with Donald Trump," Gowdy said on Fox News's "The Story."

    -Trey Gowdy on Trump's "spy" claims.

    Gowdy is on his way out and has no reason to carry water. He's seen the info and been briefed by Wray and Rosenstein. You'd think his opinion would carry more weight but the desire for a counter-narrative, however wooly, is too strong, I guess.
