I thought the story was a chance meeting in which Papadopoulos was drunk and running his mouth. Why the hell would Downer want to meet him? How and why would Downer have any knowledge of Papa?
There's a connection. Read THIS and follow the links.
Seriously, that's an incredible read. Does agent Carlson work for CONTROL?
There is a common thread involving the meetings Papadopoulos had with the schemers -- a woman. This can't be a coincidence, it being a common 'spy' mechanism -- think General David Petraeus. Hook a man up with a woman, in this case a young unmarried man, & compromise him:
Mifsud -- had a young woman with him which he falsely claimed was Putin's niece,
Olga Polonskaya/Polonskaia. Here is a screenshot of her Facebook page before it was deleted after her name was outed:
Downer -- introduced to Papadoupolous by Downer's counselor at the Aussie High Commissioner's Office,
Erika Thompson, who accompanied the 2 men for drinks at the wine room. I couldn't find out any info about her via the High Commissioner's website & Facebook page.
Halper -- had a Turkish assistant,
Azra Turk, who was drinking & flirting with Papadopoulos, and later tried to meet him in Chicago where Papadopoulos lived. It's a common name, & the one news article said she had deleted her phone service after her name was outed.
