For some reason, the FBI is releasing transcripts from their spying operations on the Trump campaign, and then on the Trump president-elect team. I don’t know why they’re doing this.
This bit from George Papadopoulos is a sad reminder of the kind of GREAT energy we had at the beginning of the Trump presidency. It is a sad reminder that all of that is gone now, and in place of people who want to round up Israelis and execute them as spies, we have Israeli spies.
Newly released transcripts from the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign’s possible ties to Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 US presidential election included an agency source referring to Israelis as “fucking spies” who should all be executed.
The transcript, which was declassified by the Justice Department and shared with a number of US senators on Tuesday, is from November 26, 2016 conversations during an outing in Illinois between a man identified as a “Confidential Human Source” and former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos, who pleaded guilty in 2017 for making false statements to FBI agents.
Papadopoulos was investigated for his ties to Israel as part of the Mueller probe, which concluded there was not sufficient evidence he was acting as an unregistered agent for the Jewish state.
Papadopoulos is identified in the transcript as “Crossfire Typhoon,” or “CT,” in apparent reference to “Crossfire Hurricance,” the name of the FBI’s probe into whether members of the Trump campaign colluded with Russian officials.
In the transcript, the FBI source repeatedly mentions Israelis and the Mossad, the Israeli spy agency,
At one point during the conversation between the two, which took place more than two weeks after the US election, Papadopoulos said he once dated a woman who worked at the Israeli embassy.
“What the fuck you were dating her for?” the source asked him, to which Papadopoulos replied “she was probably Mossad and that, that’s why she took a [unintelligible].”
Following a number of lines that were redacted, Papadopoulos said the woman was a Russian Jew, to which the source responded, “Russian Jews, those fake Jews.”
Pressed by the source, Papadopoulos later said: “It was four month thing. Well we’re still like friends, I guess but… I-I’m pretty sure that they knew that… what was going on though, you know, and they were just like using her like to bait me.”
Asked why Israel would want to bait him, Papadopoulos said, “Just to get info, man, I don’t know.”
Later on in the transcript, the source refers to a man named Sergey, who he said he believes is a Russian spy.
“No fucking Russians here that aren’t fucking… same with the Israelis they’re all fucking spies. Those fucking cocksuckers. They should execute them all,” he said.
The source also said at different points in the transcript that “Israeli’s [sic] have fucked up French accents” and “that I can smell an Israeli from a mile away, dude.”
I can pretty well guarantee you’re not going to hear about this in the mainstream media. Surely, they love to paint Trump as an anti-Semite (just as yet another smear), but the benefit of that is outdone by the risk of someone saying “I wonder why a high-level connected guy who dated a Jew would be led to believe that Israelis are spies. Let me go ahead and do a bit of googling here and just see what comes up…”
