Who is George Papadoupolos? Updated 11/9/17

Who is George Papadopoulos? Tuesday from the Washington Post:

The court documents do not answer a key question: whether Papadopoulos also told his superiors that he had met a London-based professor who claimed to know that the Russians had "dirt" on Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, including thousands of her emails.

Also Tuesday, NYT reports on Trump campaign's foreign policy team starting with Flynn. We get to Papadopoulos about halfway through. He is a minor player, but many prosecutions start low and work their way up.

Trump's whole team was marginal; he personally could care less about foreign policy. But it was oddly pro-Russian, and Trump did care a great deal about building a Trump property in Moscow. (At this time in the campaign (when he called Papadopoulos an "excellent" guy), I personally don't believe he thought he'd win, and was just enjoying himself, thumbing his nose (polite way to put it) at everyone and believing his was increasing the value of his brand.

More reporting Friday by Caldwell and Thorp of NBC:

• foreign policy panelist at Republican National Convention
• September 2016 interviewed by Russian Interfax as Trump campaign representative
• January 2017 met Israeli leaders

Papadopoulos's "Professor" Mifsud has gone to ground.

Her name is Olga Vinogradova.
