the dossier didn't trigger the investigation.
The memo confirms reports that the FBI formally opened their investigation into Russian efforts to compromise the Trump campaign back in July 2016 based on suspicions about Trump foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos. So, while the dossier may have played a critical role in putting Page under surveillance in October, the document — containing some salacious claims about Trump — was not the driving force behind the FBI’s scrutiny of the Trump team.
The timing suggests Papadopoulos came under scrutiny because of an reported episode in London in May 2016 where he told an Australian diplomat that Russia was offering the campaign “dirt” on Hillary Clinton. About a year after opening the investigation, the FBI arrested Papadopoulos on charges he lied to them. He pleaded guilty in that case last October and is cooperating with prosecutors.
