The mysterious professor

Anyone who wants to solve the Russiagate riddle - whether you think Mifsud has plotted with the Russians to encourage Trump, whether you think Mifsud has plotted with Western services to frame Trump - must search there. In the small university of Vincenzo Scotti.

Mifsad is the mysterious Maltese professor who started it all with the original knowledge that Putin had the e mails. on Mar 14, 2016. CrowdStrike identified the hack in May 2016.

From Wiki:

Cyber attacks that successfully penetrated the DNC computing system began in 2015. Attacks by "Cozy Bear" began in the summer of 2015. Attacks by "Fancy Bear" began in April 2016.

So, Fancy Bear attacks began after the Mifsd meetings, and were soon discovered by crowdstrike.

A week after Mifsad revealed, on Mar 14, 2016, the e mails, Papa then informed the Austrailian who is the second confirmation.  So, the claim is that Mifsad really did have first knowledge of the e mails, except, there were the missing 'personal server' e mail thing going on, and it remains to be cleared up which info Mifsad really had, if any.

Assuming the professor was talking about the DNC e mails, then the professor holds the key.  His university, Link,  is really a diplomatic consulting service, but with a little grease it becomes a disinformation service.
