George Papadopoulos here discussing Amos Hochstein
May 17, 2016, the inauguration ceremony of the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) in Thessaloniki. Hochstein was part of that ceremony.
George, then a member of candidate Trump's team, also traveled to Thessaloniki to take part in the ceremony. He also engaged in a number of meetings while there.
Just 9 days later George will meet Greek FM Kotzias and tells him that the Russians have HRC's emails, this is after Kotzias tells George "where you are sitting right now, tomorrow Putin will be sitting there"
George is later interviewed by a Greek newspaper, George tells them he has a great relationship with Noble (Noble Energy)
Flash backwards to Oct 2015 in London. It’s the 2nd annual London Gas & LNG Forum. Both George and Hochstein are speakers at that conference
4 months earlier in June 2015, both George and Amos are again together speaking at the Washington Oil and Gas Forum
Before joining the State Department where he worked with HRC, Amos was a lobbyist at Cassidy & Associates, who represented Noble. He reported to Kerry at one point and then as an aide to Biden.
George listed Jamestown Foundation as his place of business for the Oct 2015 conference. Here's a couple of their Board Members at that time.
Here's Amos and Matt Bryza at Jamestown for an event that also featured Rauf Mammadov as a speaker. Matt was a speaker at the June AND Oct 2015 events with George and Amos
I would say the likelihood of these 2 NOT knowing each other well is pretty low. They worked in the same circles. Same with Bryza.

July 29, 2019: President Trump tweets at George
There are a few people here that keep on insisting that George is a nobody an unorganized mess who can't get his story straight. Ignore them. George is far from dumb and whatever his end story is, I think he made a turn for the good
