NY Times Claims Australia Triggered Russia Investigation Of Trump
Because Of Drunken Comment By George Papadopolous

New narrative with the dossier story going south? Now, they’re searching for other justification. But this story once again is based on ‘anonymous sources’ and is simply a comment from Papadopolous that he thought Russia had Hillary’s missing emails. That’s what everyone was thinking at the time which is one of the reasons Trump later joked about it.

But now this is the latest ‘bombshell’ showing proof of collusion.

Quote:The federal investigation into possible connections between the Kremlin and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign began after a tip-off from Australia, The New York Times reports.

During a May 2016 gathering in London, Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos told an Australian diplomat that Russia had political “dirt” on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

The discussion between Papadopoulos and the diplomat, Alexander Downer, occurred during what the paper alleged was “a night of heavy drinking.”

Two months later, Australian officials passed Papadopoulos‘ admission to U.S. counterparts after leaked Democratic Party emails began appearing online, according to the newspaper, which cited multiple current and former U.S. and foreign officials.

The information reportedly was cited as a major factor in the FBI’s decision to open a counterintelligence investigation into Kremlin contacts with the Trump campaign.

Besides the Australian tip, the FBI probe was driven by intelligence provided by other friendly governments, including Great Britain and the Netherlands, The New York Times reported.

The content of the Clinton emails triggered the investigation into Trump. :)
