Not so much.

George Papadopoulos was intoxicated when he said whatever it was he said, and whatever he did in fact say was detailed in a report by the Australian. Papadopoulos most likely has no idea what he said - It was a single conversation he had while he was drunk, one of dozens he had that night, at one of dozens of cocktail parties he seems to have attended on a regular basis. What ever he said was noted by the Australians, detailed in a report, and then investigated. The most likely know who he was talking to in England, this "professor" or seems to have disappeared. You think the Australians didn't know who he was?

Spin this all you want. No matter how you spin it, a friendly foreign government came to the United States and told us an American citizen who worked for the Republican party claimed the Russians had hacked and read emails from the Democratic party.
