    It's been hours since the NYT story. What happened to the GOP pushback?

        Picking among the spectrum of options ranging from further discrediting Papadopoulos to yelling Strzok!

        Yeah, well, discrediting Papa is prolly what led to today's NYT story.

        You suspect his defense team was the main sourcing?

        Not entirely, but I do think he (or his fiancée) cooperated.

        This all points to the June 9th meeting just being a quick post-negotiation-pre-launch meeting, not to discuss terms, just near-term timing.

        I don't think so. I think there was a dance throughout the year.

        Tuned out of this mess mostly for lots of good reasons. Did I miss the article where it was definitely established there was no FISA hearing in *June 2016* where application sent back for narrowing?

        Back here in Oz, Downer's credibility is compromised in several other matters : Saddam's WMD, the "children overboard" affair, and others. That said, no obvious reason to doubt the Papa story.

        1) Um Maggie, [@maggieNYT ] hate to undercut your *explosive story* on origin of Russia Probe. But George Papadopoulos talking in May 2016, is likely about this *open and public information* from April 2016. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/04/08/source-no-coincidence-romanian-hacker-guccifer-extradited-amid-clinton-probe.html …

        They put all their eggs in the shut down Mueller because his investigation was started by the dossier basket. Not smart.

        My guess would be that they'll completely ignore it, act as if this story doesn't exist and then do some sort of BENGAZ!!1!! shouting about emails, uranium one etc. and wait for the next available shiny object like students at a university saying something stupid
