Turns out that the Trumpsters' claim that the Russia investigation is illegitimate because it sprang from the Steele dossier is a lie — like everything else Team Trump says, right? Thanks to today's reporting from The New York Times, it was, instead, a squiffy conversation that the hapless George Papadopoulos had with the Australian high commissioner to the United Kingdom that got the whole thing started.
Alexander Downer passed along Papadopoulos's drunken "the Russians have dirt on Hillary" boasts to US intelligence, and the rest is history.
In light of this important reporting, we send kudos to our Australian allies — and will refrain from saying that the ratting out of Papadopoulos was, for a Trumpsters, a real "downer." Oops, we just did. We cats PURR.
