Australian Diplomat Who Tipped FBI About George Papadopolous Ties to, Get This, the Clinton Foundation

Well blow me over with an intern.

The Australian diplomat whose tip in 2016 prompted the Russia-Trump investigation previously arranged one of the largest foreign donations to Bill and Hillary Clinton's charitable efforts, documents show.

Former Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer's role in securing $25 million in aid from his country to help the Clinton Foundation fight AIDS is chronicled in decade-old government memos archived on the Australian foreign ministry's website.

I think it was Hannity, or maybe a guest (maybe John Solomon), who pointed out that now every single one of the four "sources" cited in the Page FISA application has ties to Clinton:

* This guy, who tipped the FBI about Papadopolous, arranged a $25 million grant from his country's coffers to the Clinton Slush and Hush Fund.

* Steele was of course paid by Clinton and the DNC.

* Isikoff, cited in the application as independent confirmation of Steele's claims, was of course himself told his information by Steele, who had in turn been paid by Clinton. Thus Isikoff was at least an unknowing transmission agent for Clinton-bought sleeze.

* And of course the FBI also relied on information from long time Clinton smear merchants Sid Blumenthal and Cody Shearer.
