It is surprising how media, prosecutors and even intelligence committees can be fooled, by what? Their own negligence.

article of November 1, 2017 where Joseph Mifsud openly declared being a member of the Clinton Foundation.
Russiagate, mystery professor Joseph Mifsud speaks out: "Dirt on Hillary Clinton? Nonsense"
Interview with the Maltese academic suspected of being the link between a Trump campaign adviser and the Russian government: "The only thing I did was to facilitate contacts between official and unofficial sources to resolve a crisis. It is usual business everywhere. Papadopoulos doesn’t tell the truth"

ROME - Under his feet, people talk about the “Heart of the European cybersecurity” at the summit organized by Enisa, the European Network and Information Security Agency. Above his feet, the academic who is said to have offered to Donald Trump’s aides, during the electoral campaign, thousands of Hillary Clinton’s hacked emails, kindly smiles: “Sorry, I cannot comment”, he replies while his phone is receiving calls from all over the world. “And I have decided to get hide in my office”, he will smile again one hour after this interview he didn’t want to give.
Joseph Mifsud is the Maltese professor who, according to the rumors and anticipations of the Russiagate investigation, has approached George Papadopoulos, an aide of Donald Trump during his presidential campaign, to help him to contact Russian authorities in the Kremlin, even for organizing a meeting between Trump and Putin. Mr. Mifsud is said to have given to the aide “dirty information” on Mrs. Clinton collected by the Russian. “This is nonsense”, Mifsud comments, “friendship is friendship but Papadopoulos doesn’t tell the truth. The only thing I did was to facilitate contacts between official and unofficial sources to resolve a crisis. It is usual business everywhere. I put think tanks in contact, groups of experts with other groups of experts”, he states.
“I am a member of the European Council on Foreign relations”, he adds, “and you know which is the only foundation I am member of? The Clinton Foundation. Between you and me, my thinking is left-leaning. But I predicted Trump’s victory as well as Brexit. Everyone of us wants peace. If the governments don’t talk each other, we citizens must keep talking”.
Ok. But what about the emails stolen from Mrs. Clinton? “The dirty job” offered to Papadopoulos? “I don’t know. I strongly deny any discussion of mine about secrets concerning Hillary Clinton. I swear it on my daughter. I don’t know anyone belonging to the Russian government: the only Russian I know is Ivan Timofeev, director of the think tank “Russian International affairs council”. Which is based at The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. “But this is meaningless”, Mifsud says.
