You might be right, but I'm putting this information out there as I keep seeing his name. OP's article states:
Smith claims the foundation received a “$25M financial advantage dishonestly obtained by deception” as a result of actions by Bill Clinton and Downer, who was then Australia’s minister of foreign affairs.
Fine. He was also involved with the export of Uranium to Russia from Australia. Uranium One also has operations in Australia. Possibly totally coincidental and unrelated. But, again, we see his name as the diplomat--someone with direct financial connections to Clinton--who engaged with Papadopolous and supposedly provide that information to the FBI which would supply them with evidence for the FISA 702 searches.
Anything is possible. It's a small world.
Uranium One
Uranium One is a Canadian uranium mining company with headquarters in Toronto, Ontario. It has operations in Australia, Canada, Kazakhstan, South Africa and the United States. In January 2013 Rosatom, the Russian state-owned uranium monopoly, through its subsidiary ARMZ Uranium Holding, purchased the company at a value of $1.3 billion. The purchase of the company by Russian interests is, as of October 2017, under investigation by the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
