It’s Clear Now… Papadopoulos, the Unknown Individual on the Trump Campaign, Was Set Up by FBI-CIA Operative

Guest post by Joe Hoft

George Papadopoulos was a Trump campaign unknown who was indicted by the Mueller team and who later pled guilty to lying to the FBI.  Now we know he was set up by a CIA/FBI spy.

Last week the Daily Caller reported

Buried at the bottom of a court document Special Counsel Robert Mueller filed Friday is a reference to a mysterious $10,000 cash payment given to George Papadopoulos, the former Trump campaign adviser who has been charged with giving false statements to the FBI.

On the final page of a memo recommending that Papadopoulos serve up to six months in jail, Mueller said that Papadopoulos told investigators about $10,000 in cash that he received from a foreign national who he suspected to be a foreign spy.

The Daily Caller identified the individual in Mueller’s indictment –

While Mueller’s court filing makes no other reference to the individual, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned that a man named Charles Tawil gave Papadopoulos $10,000 during a meeting in an Israeli hotel room in July 2017.

An individual by the name of Tawil shows on LinkedIn as a consultant with a firm by the name of Gestomar.  This leads to a dead end and it’s highly suspect that the firm is basically a phony company as well as Tawil himself, who has only 40 connections on the site.

However, the Conservative Treehouse was able to connect Tawil to the CIA/FBI via WikiLeaks –

Charles Tawil, the guy who reached out to Papadopoulos in Greece; and who ultimately gave Papadopoulos $10,000 in cash; was a previous intelligence asset of the CIA and FBI.  SEE WIKILEAKS Cables (circa 2006): Paragraph #8, note:

“These undisclosed sources told Zuma that American citizens (not connected with the U.S. Government) were involved. This in part, coincides with another Embassy contact, Charles Tawil (protect), who told our Economic Counselor on November 29 that Zuma had received information from the mother of the King of Swaziland about CIA attempts to kill Zuma using poisoned clothes from the FBI” (link)

Who was the FBI Director in 2006?  Why, Robert Mueller of course.

The Conservative Treehouse points out that Papadopoulos was no doubt set up by Mueller in 2017 by his spy Tawil –

The $10k payment to Papadopoulos was almost guaranteed to be a sting operation; a set-up.

Federal agents were waiting for Papadopoulos at the airport upon his arrival and re-entry into the U.S.  If Mr. Papadopoulos had carried that $10k into the U.S. without declaring a U.S. treasury filing, the FBI/DOJ would have nailed him on a treasury violation.

Bringing $10,000 (or more) cash into the U.S., without reporting, is major trouble; add into that aspect the likelihood the set-up included use of an intelligence asset, and the issue can be compounded into laundering money.  That’s just the type of leverage Robert Mueller was looking for.

How many spies and lies did Mueller use to set up innocent parties like Papadopoulos and General Mike Flynn?  Again, Mueller and his gang are the real criminals.
