- Carter Page: The west has prevented progress with their hypocritical support of ideas concerning democracy, inequality, corruption and regime-change.
- Carter Page had connections to three russian agents operating in the US, starting in 2013. In the opinion of US intelligence, he tried to become a bona fide russian secret agent. The FBI warned him multiple times to stay away from russian spies. And 2016 he turned up in Trump's campaign.
- George Papadopolous drunkenly bragged to the australian ambassador in a London bar about his contacts to the Kremlin. The ambassador told australian authorities and they told the FBI. That launched the counterintelligence-operation against the Trump-campaign.
- Papadopolous' contact in the Kremlin was Joseph Mifsud, a professor of law. Nowadays he has disappeared.
- US intelligence thinks that Mifsud was a "cut-out", a seemingly independent liaison, a typical russian method.
- On April 26th 2016 Mifsud tests Papadopolus how receptable the Trump-campaign is to a cooperation. He told Papadopolous that Russia has dirt on Hillary clinton. Emails, thousands of emails. At a time when nobody knew about the hacked emails. Papadopolous later retold this meeting in his signed confession to the FBI.
- Papadopolous got arrested. Mifsud has diappeared.
