The Downer File

Australia’s longest-serving foreign minister. Then High Commissioner in London. May 2016: a wine bar in Kensington with George Papadopoulos. They still argue about the words. Late July: Australia passed the conversation. July 31: Horowitz says Friendly Foreign Government information opened Crossfire Hurricane. The PDF does not print Alexander Downer. He later put himself on Sky News and said there was no collusion in the chat. Durham said the Bureau had no verified collusion intel when it opened the case. This is not a biography. It is the episodes. Facts are cited. Allegations are labeled. Opinion is marked. An FBI memo is not a court. A diplomat’s interview is not a cable. A news identification is not an OIG caption.

Compiled as a critical briefing, in the voice of a packet. Identity: About. Not a court. Not a White House product. No invented quotes, intelligence rank, or conviction. No Method page. Identity confidence: high.

May 2016: They Met at the Kensington Wine Rooms. The FBI Later Called It Predication.
