Okay @petestrzok has now admitted he got it wrong that the Australians watched Trump’s “Russia if you’re listening” press conference on July 27 and *then* contacted the FBI (they actually reached out the day before)

But there is an even bigger problem

THREAD

Strzok opened CH on July 31, supposedly on the basis that @GeorgePapa19 (or other Trump figures) may have been told about the Russians having info on Hillary (and Obama, bizarrely) and this may have been related to the DNC email hack or the missing Hillary emails

Okay, so Trump gives a press conference on July 27, where he asks where Hillary’s “missing” emails are

Strzok and the FBI’s theory is that @GeorgePapa19 might have known about *those very emails* AT THAT TIME - from the Russians

Yet it’s a known fact that @GeorgePapa19 never told a single person on the Trump campaign about any “info” on Hillary, or the missing “emails” (DNC or otherwise). Didn’t happen. No emails, calls about it. No evidence.

So, PapaD is working for Trump on July 27, 2016, hears his boss Trump ask where the emails are, supposedly knows about them from Russia & says nothing to Trump or the campaign. Zero. Nada. Zip.

Could have been a major win for him in the campaign.

That’s Strzok’s “theory”!

You don’t need to be an FBI counterintelligence agent to understand common sense basic logic. If PapaD knew about the missing Hillary emails (or the DNC ones,) he wouldn’t have stayed quiet, given Trump’s press conference asking for hacked emails

That he said nothing, says he didn’t know about the emails at the time. Which should call in question the entire predicate of the “tip” from the Australians, and the later allegations against Mifsud as well

This should also have been reinforced when he spoke to Downer in London a few days after opening CH, where had he asked the correct questions, would have found PapaD never said “dirt” or “DNC” or even the word “emails”

Boom. That should have been the end of it there & then
