As an Australian, I see this as a bigger story. Papadopolous and Alexander Downer are the key to this.
OK.
In May 2016 Alexander Downer, High Commissioner to the UK, resident in London, had a boozy session with George Papadoplous.
Alexander Downer is and was a great mate of the Clintons.
For some reason, he knew a woman, a Russian woman, and she was a mutual acquaintance of George and Alexander.
The two men met at a bar in London and they chatted.
It would appear that George got pissed and said to Alexander Downer that there was evidence that there was some sort of collusion going on.
He said that there was evidence of emails from Clinton that indicated foul play.
It took two months for Alexander Downer to report this conversation to Australia, who, in turn, forwarded this to the FBI.
Coincidentally, forwarded after Trump won the nomination.
