The UK and Australia Have Reason to be Concerned About Declassification

 

Information allegedly relayed by Papadopoulos during the meeting, that the Russians had damaging information on Hillary Clinton, appears nearly identical to information later contained in the first memo from Christopher Steele that the FBI obtained in early July 2016.

 

Downer’s conversation with Papadopoulos was reportedly disclosed to the FBI on July 22, 2016, through channels with the Australian government.

 

“The Downer details landed with the embassy’s then-chargé d’affaires, Elizabeth Dibble, who previously served as a principal deputy assistant secretary in Mrs. Clinton’s State Department,”

 

Details from the conversation between Downer and Papadopoulos were then used by the FBI to open their counterintelligence investigation on July 31, 2016.

 

Given the involvement of former and current members of UK intelligence, the question is not, “Did UK Intelligence know of Steele’s activities?” but rather, “How high did this knowledge go?” We know that the UK government attempted to protect the identity of Steele, going so far as to issue a Defence Advisory Notice: “A request to news editors not to publish or broadcast items on specified subjects for reasons of national security.”

 

Meanwhile, Papadopoulos has been busy lambasting both Britain and Australia on Twitter. Today he sent out his most recent take:

 

“Once this bombshell document about me, that the British government is begging our government to remain classified, is released I look very much forward to testifying to congress.”
