| − | *Papadopoulos meets with Australian High Commissioner [[Alexander Downer]] in a London pub. Papadopoulos was introduced to Downer through Erika Thompson, a counselor to Downer in Australia’s London embassy. Thompson reached out to Papadopoulos two days after Papadopoulos gave an interview to the ''London Times''. Thompson said Downer wanted to meet with Papadopoulos. Thompson is the "foreign intelligence source" that the Mueller Report (pg. 89) cryptically claims the false information of Russia collusion came from.<!--Papadopoulos tells Downer “the Russians might use material that they have on Hillary Clinton in the lead-up to the election, which may be damaging”. Downer’s version of the meeting noted that Papadopoulos told Downer “the Russians might use material that they have on Hillary Clinton in the lead-up to the election, which may be damaging”.--> Neither the July 28, 2017 Affidavit signed by FBI Agent Robert M. Gibbs (Gibbs Version) nor the October 5, 2017 Statement of the Offense signed by Robert Mueller (Mueller Version) make mention of the May 10, 2016 Downer meeting. Downer said, {{quotebox|"nothing [Papadopoulos] said in that conversation indicated Trump himself had been conspiring with the Russians to collect information on Hillary Clinton.

| | :*The dirt that the Russians had on Clinton related to surveillance activity Russians gathered on Clinton during her time as Secretary of State while she was in Moscow, and not to Clinton emails (Clinton had communicated with Obama via her unsecured server while she was in Russia, and the communications were intercepted by Russian intelligence. James Comey covered up Obama's knowledge of Clinton's illegal server by '''referring to President Obama as "another senior government official'''" at Comey's July 5, 2019 press conference). Neither Papadopolous nor Downer ever claimed that Clinton emails were discussed. Although Papadopoulos is not mentioned in the ''Steele dossier'', the substance of the what Papadopoulos said to Downer appears nearly identical to information later contained in the first memo from Christopher Steele that the FBI obtained in early July 2016. | | :*The dirt that the Russians had on Clinton related to surveillance activity Russians gathered on Clinton during her time as Secretary of State while she was in Moscow, and not to Clinton emails (Clinton had communicated with Obama via her unsecured server while she was in Russia, and the communications were intercepted by Russian intelligence.
