I've never read where they publish bogus conspiracy theories and outright lies. So there is that.
You would need to read Sharyl Attkisson's book about how operations like TP work (also on the conservative side).
It will open your eyes as to how manipulative so called "media sources" have become.

So while there is a chance the story is true, based on the source, it is most likely not.

There are Twitter conversations(linked in the article), including from Papadopoulos and his girlfriend. Also a photo of Papadopoulos, his girlfriend and the other drinker that was talking to them. All 3 took a photo in front of the bar and the address of the bar is in the photo. Papadopoulos and his girlfriend, via Twitter, confirmed the discussion with the guy about the Russia investigation.

This makes you wonder whether Sessions has made a deal with Mueller's team to save himself.

Papadopoulos said during their conversation that “Sessions encouraged me” to find out anything he could about the hacked Hillary Clinton emails that Mifsud had mentioned.
Wait a second. Sessions was not part of Trump's campaign staff so why would he be meeting with little Papa or ordering him to do things? And if this was after Sessions was part of the Trump administration why was he worried about Clinton's emails?

The timeline sounds fishy.

I'm willing to let team Mueller sort this out.

Meanwhile, it is an interesting story.

If you want to be any good at this, you need to do a better job of keeping up on things.

Sessions most certainly was involved with Trump's campaign. Sessions was an early Trump supporter, involved in the campaign, and even gave speeches at Trump rallies.

IIRC, he as billed as an advisor who led the foreign policy team.

It's been in the news for some time now.

Sessions says the foreign policy team he led during the campaign 'never functioned ... as coherent team'

Other than the tweets, the photos, and the confirmation from Papadopoulos, what have we got?
