Australian Government Confirms Official Role in “Spygate”…
CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE ^ | 4/18/2019 | SUNDANCE

Posted on 04/20/2019 6:08:18 PM PDT by bitt

In response to media inquiry and FOIA demands, the government of Australia formally admitted today to the role of High Commissioner Alexander Downer and his engagements with George Papadopoulos in 2016. The timing coincides with the Mueller Report (released today), which states it was information about this engagement from Alexander Downer that opened the FBI counterintelligence investigation in July 2016.

The Australian government cited the conclusion of the Robert Mueller special counsel investigation as the background for their willingness to comply with an 15-month-old FOIA request from Buzzfeed News.

When you cut the head off the snake it all falls apart. We and they know better who all the players are world wide. we have to start the tsunami here first. Use RICO, freeze the Clinton foundation and start from there.

You’re correct.

No news for me today.

Australia is just a bit player.

The Clintons maintain they’ve done nothing wrong. In a statement, spokesman Brian Fallon said no one “has ever produced a shred of evidence supporting the theory that Hillary Clinton ever took action as Secretary of State to support the interests of donors to the Clinton Foundation.”

Anyone who believes that has probably also invested heavily in the Brooklyn bridge.

ITEM<><> Saudi Arabia Funded 20% Of Hillary’s Presidential Campaign, / Zerohedge ^ | Jun 14, 2016| Tyler Durden / FR Posted by xzins

(NOTE: It is illegal in the United States for foreign countries to influence the outcome of elections by funding candidates. That appears not to have stopped the Saudis, however.)

“Saudi Arabia provided with full enthusiasm 20 percent of the cost of Hillary Clinton’s election”......the report quoted Saudi Prince Mohammed as having said. According to the US Federal Election commission, over the past two years Clinton has raised a little more than $211.8 million. 20% of this sum is $42.4 million. The Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday that the senior royal was due to fly to Washington where he will meet Obama admin officials to discuss US-Saudi ties. —SNIP—”

WHAT the HELL did he get for $25 MILLION DOLLARS???

He thought he was going to get the favor of President Hillary. Instead, he's going to get the wrath of Trump.

The Saudis also purchased the mega-screen TV that was supposed to show the newly-elected Hillary crashing the male-dominated ceiling on election night.

Methinks the losing Hillary fiasco was the cause of all the dissension and turmoil in S/A.

The Saudis had been sold a bill of goods and were left holding the bag.

Somebody had to pay the price.

the Saudis helped stage Hillary's election night "victory"---giving her a huge expensive flat screen TV supposedly to air her crashing through a symbolic 500,000 dollar glass ceiling.

It was a 10ft TV screen that Hillary threw an expensive bottle of Champaign into when she realized she LOST !!!

HAHAHAHAHA!

Australian News astutely reported: what does Australia gain from topping up the Clinton coffers to the tune of $25 million as “the single biggest foreign government source of funds for the Clinton Foundation.” AND THIS: Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop’s press release dated September 22, 2014, committed to five years of support for yet another Clinton money-maker...... the Clinton Health Access Initiative,(CHAI) sister organisation to the Clinton Foundation. Bishop's statement is shocking: “Since 2006, Australia has contributed $88 million to CHAI,” the statement read.

Many questions remain unanswered about the agreement between Australia and The Clinton Foundation and the enormous exchange of money. “It’s not clear why Canberra had to go through an American foundation to deliver aid to Asian countries (including Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Vietnam).”

(In truth, an incisive question that could be asked of all the foreign government donors to the Clintons.)

PONDER THIS---Remember Billy's "pass-through account." Money rec'd in the AM went out by PM and no record of a transaction. Money could have gone anywhere....hedge fund, another foundation, an offshore bank......a numbered account in Switzerland (when they still used them)......

NOTES We learned a lot from Madoff. When he went to jail, investigators found Ponzi King Bernie Madoff had stashed billions offshore---into a labyrinth of financial entities. Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers that, to unsuspecting outsiders, seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances.

Although he was jailed for running a Ponzi, Madoff's main purpose was helping billionaire foundations launder money and evade taxes

A Berlin court ordered Germany’s far-right party to retract a false accusation that the country's environment ministry gave money to Hillary Clinton during her 2016 presidential campaign. Georg Pazderski, leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AFD) party, was ordered to scrub its website of the accusation and issue a correction stating that the German ministry "paid no money whatsoever to support the Hillary's election campaign,”Deutsche Welle news reported.

Pazderski and his party claimed that millions that Germany’s Federal Environment Ministry donated to the Clinton Foundation’s climate initiatives in Africa were really funneled into Clinton’s campaign.

The Clinton Foundation was (cough) funding projects in Africa as part of the International Climate Initiative, the newspaper reported. Germany’s Federal Environment Ministry first began donating to the initiative in 2013 — years before Clinton kicked off her race for the White House. The court ruled that the false accusations recklessly jeopardized “public confidence" in the federal ministry by making the claim that a German agency had intervened in the U.S. election. The populist AFD first made the
accusation in a November 2016 press release that Pazderski wrote, Deutsche Well noted.

The environmental ministry won a court battle against AFD weeks after the claim went up but the now the group will have to issue a retraction.

HAT TIP PEPSIONICE About 60 days prior to the 2016 election....the Ministry of the Environment in Germany shuffled four-million Euro (5-million dollars)
to the Clinton Foundation....but they didn’t admit this to the German public for about four months (late Nov 2016).
The hefty donation was simply to get a seat at the table after Hillary’s win, and the Ministry intended to have a ‘big’ seat.....
NOTE one journalist casually mentioned that around 5-10 % of the do-good Foundation money goes to actual charity work....
the rest goes to (cough) operational costs.

“Act of War?”

No, just Australia honoring a secret treaty, going back to the end of WWII, the 5 Eyes agreement. Obama’s spies/thugs requested that the UK and Australia honor a request approved by our FISA court. Those FISA approved requests were sent to Australia, the UK and Canada (?) to spy on/monitor/surveil candidate Trump and his people. Then, President Elect Trump and his people and probably even President Trump and his people.

The 5 Eyes treaty enabled The UK, Canada, Australia and
New Zealand to spy/monitor/surveil our people when we requested the spying via the FISA courts.

Then, to report their findings to our president and his other top level administration people.

In turn we spied, monitored/surveiled on their citizens when they requested.

This was set up to avoid any country from “illegally” spying on its citizen.

Supposedly, our FISA courts protected our citizens and had to approve each request that any of the other 5 Eyes countries to monitor specific citizens and to limit findings to those citizens or to say no.

The Dems have owned and controlled our FISA courts for decades. Who would they protect and say no surveillance of, or would release the intel services of a 5 Eyes country on to, fellow Dems or people Trump and his people.

An interesting past re 5 Eyes, apparently two of past Aussie Prime Ministers didn’t know about 5 eyes as they were considered to be security risks.

So it is not an act of war. It was an abuse of the FISA courts by Obama/Brennan/Clapper and??

Besides directing our venom at Obama and his attempted coup followers, we should reevaluate any need of the 5 Eyes agreement.

We probably should drop our membership and refuse any requests from the other 5 Eyes people to spy on their people.

Then should 5 Eyes or whatever has replaced it be discontinued?

DOJ inspector general confirms yearlong investigation into FISA abuse is still active.

Washington Examiner ^ | March 21, 2019 | Jerry Dunleavy
Posted on 4/21/2019, 8:31:41 PM by little jeremiah

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz confirmed Thursday his office is still investigating possible abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act by the DOJ and FBI in their investigation into President Trump and associates of his 2016 campaign.

The revelation came during a panel discussion in Washington, D.C., when Horowitz was asked to divulge his biggest projects.

“We have a FISA-related review that people might have heard about that the deputy attorney general asked us to take a look at. But I’m not going to dwell on that,” he said at the event alongside three other inspectors general hosted by the Atlantic Council.

Horowitz did not comment further. The moderator, Sarah Lynch of Reuters, made it clear that the watchdog’s FISA abuse probe was off-limits for further questions. “I was also asked to just tell everybody — please don’t ask about an ongoing investigation. Don’t ask Michael [Horowitz] about the FISA-Carter Page investigation. He can’t talk about it. As much as we all want to know what the finding will be,”

Nearly one year ago, on March 28, Horowitz announced the start of the FISA abuse probe by his office, saying he was doing so following requests from then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Republican members of Congress. These GOP lawmakers alleged the DOJ and FBI had abused the FISA process and misled the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in their investigation and surveillance of Trump and his associates during the campaign and Trump’s administration.
