Before digging into the details it is important to note this is a DOJ\/FBI entrapment operation being conducted\u00a0in 2017 by the special counsel<\/strong>; this is not prior to the 2016 election. The detail surrounds a series of events previously discussed {Go Deep<\/a>} where George Papadopoulos was approached by a\u00a0known CIA operative<\/a>\u00a0named Charles Tawil.<\/p>\n In 2017 George Papadopoulos and his wife Simona were approached in Greece by a\u00a0known CIA\/FBI operative<\/a>, Charles Tawil.\u00a0 Mr. Tawil enlisted George as a business consultant, under the auspices of energy development interests, and invited him to Israel.<\/p>\n On June 8th, 2017, in Israel under very suspicious circumstances, where Papadopoulos felt very unnerved, Mr. Tawil hands him $10,000 in cash for future consultancy based on a\u00a0$10k\/month retainer<\/a>.<\/p>\n On June 9th, 2017, according to his book, Papadopoulos and Tawil fly back to Cyprus.<\/p>\n In interviews Papadopoulos said he was uncomfortable with the way the encounters had taken place.\u00a0 He became suspect of Tawil\u2019s motives; something didn\u2019t feel right.\u00a0 Instead of keeping the cash, Papadopoulos gave the money to an attorney in Greece before traveling back to the U.S. on July 27th, 2017.<\/p>\n Upon arrival at Dulles airport on July 27th, 2017, Robert Mueller had FBI agents waiting.\u00a0 Papadopoulos was stopped and his bags were searched; however, he did not have the cash because he smartly left it in Greece with his lawyer.\u00a0 Papadopoulos was detained overnight by FBI agents, and questioned.<\/p>\n [\u2026] Stanley said Papadopoulos arrived on a Lufthansa flight from Munich that touched down at\u00a0about 7 p.m<\/strong>. on July 27, and the FBI intercepted him as soon as he got off the plane.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was\u00a0 According\u00a0to Politico<\/a>:<\/p>\n [W]hen he was\u00a0 And when prosecutors filed the complaint the next day they got a spoken order from Howell to seal it, but followed up with a written request that they could take to the magistrate in Alexandria, where they showed up almost an hour later than she expected.<\/p>\n All of it suggests something of a scramble, rather than a carefully prepared plan to take Papadopoulos into custody. (more<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Here\u2019s where the recent revelations come in.\u00a0 According to Andrew Weissmann\u2019s schedule on June 13th, 2017, he was in conversations surrounding the basis of a Cyprus Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT):<\/p>\n So overlaying the timeline:<\/p>\n It would appear Weissmann was well aware of the Cyprus \u201cTawil operation\u201d and engaged in communication regarding Cyprus.\u00a0 Additionally, he was discussing \u201cMoney Laundering and Asset Recovery\u201d w\/ FBI.\u00a0\u00a0[MLARS Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n Taken in combination with hindsight of the search for the cash, and lack of a pre-existing warrant at the airport, this is clear evidence of a coordinated operation to entrap Papadopoulos.<\/p>\n Remember, the preferred approach toward targeting Paul Manafort, Mike Flynn and George Papadopoulos surrounded FARA (Foreign Agent Registration Act) lobbying violations.\u00a0 Papadopoulos has stated the special counsel threatened him with charges of acting as a unregistered agent for Israel.\u00a0\u00a0There\u2019s a clear picture here<\/strong>.<\/p>\n #1) Papadopoulos was lured to Israel and paid in Israel to give the outline of a FARA premise (ie. Papadopoulos is an agent of Israel).\u00a0 #2) Bringing $10,000 (or more) in cash into the U.S., without reporting, is a violation of U.S. treasury laws.\u00a0 Add into that aspect the FARA violation and the money can be compounded into #3)\u00a0laundering\u00a0<\/em>charges.<\/p>\n [A \u201claundering\u201d charge applies if the money is illegally obtained.\u00a0 The FARA violation would be the *illegal* aspect making the treasury charges heavier. Note: the use of the airport baggage-check avoids the need for a search warrant.]<\/p>\n Andrew Weissmann was conducting an\u00a0entrapment scheme<\/strong>\u00a0that would have ended up with three violations of law: (1) Treasury violation; (2) FARA violation; (3) Money laundering\u2026. All it needed was Papadopoulos to carry the undeclared cash into the U.S.<\/p>\n However, because Papadopoulos suspected something, and left the money in Greece with his lawyers, upon arrival at the airport the operation\u00a0collapsed in reverse<\/em>.\u00a0 No money means no treasury violation, no laundering and no evidence of the consultancy agreement (which would have been repurposed in the DOJ filing to mean\u00a0lobbying for Israel<\/em>\u00a0via Mr. Tawil who would have become a confidential informant and witness).<\/p>\n That operational collapse is why the FBI agents were \u201cscrambling\u201d at the airport and why they had no pre-existing criminal complaint.\u00a0 The entrapment\u2019s success was contingent upon the cash.<\/p>\n Lastly, to repeat, this entire scenario was constructed by the DOJ\/FBI team operation in 2017.\u00a0 The members of the Special Counsel were running the entrapment operation; the FBI agents were participating in the operation.\u00a0 This is not *investigating* criminal conduct; this is manufacturing criminal conduct.<\/p>\n Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein was in charge of the Mueller Special Counsel.<\/p>\n The only way DAG Rosenstein and Robert Mueller didn\u2019t know about the operation is if they both claim that Andrew Weissmann was completely rogue and in control over the FBI agents.<\/p>\n Oh, wait, what does the Mueller report say about the FBI agents and their chain-of-legal guidance and command?<\/p>\n With events happening in June\/July 2017\u2026 Rod Rosenstein, Robert Mueller, former FBI legal counsel Jim Baker, former Deputy FBI Director McCabe, together with current FBI legal counsel Dana Boente and current FBI Director Wray were what?\u2026\u00a0Hoodwinked?<\/p>\n Yeah, ok. Sure.<\/p>\n I digress.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/theconservativetreehouse.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/05\/mueller-report-7-weissmann-and-papadopoulos.jpg?w=640&h=314\")
