7/ The bombshell: Papadopoulos says Trump "nodded with approval" when he was told Papadopoulos was a Kremlin intermediary. And Sessions "liked the idea." That means Sessions lied to Congress. Gordon lied to media. Schmitz lied. A lot of people in that March 31, 2016 meeting lied.

8/ Now another bombshell: we knew Papadopoulos knew Sergei Millian, but we didn't know that when the FBI came to see Papadopoulos he *assumed they wanted to talk about Millian*. This adds a wrinkle to the question of how Papadopoulos got his job and how Mifsud found him in Italy.

10/ The memo confirms Papadopoulos was asked by the FBI to try to procure additional information from his compatriots through clandestine means. Wowwhen I think of all the garbage I took when I said that it was plausible to think the FBI would ask him to do that! Well, they did.

PS/ Trump's first move will be to call Papadopoulos a liar about what happened on March 31, 2016. Most likely, Sessions stays quiet. Why? Well, we know from major-media reports at least *three* attendees at the March 31, 2016 meeting concur with Papadopoulosand told Mueller so.
