Donald Trump wants investigation into Australia's role in 'Russian hoax'
Guardian ^

Posted on 05/24/2019 5:03:04 PM PDT by ameribbean expat

It is a potentially explosive development for the historically solid US-Australian alliance and the first time Trump has publicly named Australia while discussing what he calls the “Russia hoax” and “witch hunt”.

Trump said on Friday he had declassified “potentially millions of pages” of intelligence documents related to surveillance activities on his campaign and Barr would be in charge of analysing it.

“So what I’ve done is I’ve declassified everything,” Trump told reporters at the White House on Friday before leaving on a trip to Japan.

“He can look and I hope he looks at the UK and I hope he looks at Australia and I hope he looks at Ukraine.

“I hope he looks at everything, because there was a hoax that was perpetrated on our country.”

Ukraine = Biden. US / Aus will be fine but Trump will want a scalp or two.

The more dirt he finds on other countries, the more leverage we have over them.

An investigation is fine. In the case of Australia, I don’t think it will find anything except Australian diplomats doing their job properly interacting with an American idiot who doesn’t want to accept responsibility for his idiocy.

Their intelligence played a role too.

The GOVT is responsible for their intelligence folks.

Why the #### should we let them off?

Cause we like them better?

#### them.

Bush was right about one thing. Youre either with us or against us.

It shouldn’t be any more acceptable for the Brits, Auzzies, or Ukrainians to try to tilt our election than it was for the Russians.

It looks like both the UK and Australia colluded with the Obama administration to try to stop Trump from taking office.

I remember one Australian news report that said on election night the Australian PM had to call Greg Norman to get Trump's phone number so he could make a congratulatory call. Seems like a Trump presidency was not even on their list of contingencies.

Traditionally CIA, NSA, MI6 and Australian SIS have had very close ties. The old "Echelon" program, forerunner to current "Big Data" efforts, was a partnership between those 4 agencies. This really needs to be scaled back until we can be assured they will no longer be used to violate our national sovereignty. It's a matter of national security, real national security.

The country most culpable in interfering in our elections is Mexico.

It’s not the job of Australian diplomats to be setting up Papadopoulos by feeding a fake story that Trump is working with the Russians, to entice him to brag about it later.

Your diplomats did try to stab America in the back. Also they are part of the criminal conspiracy known as five eyes.

I like the new leader in Australia, but I think all of this conspiracy against President Trump started during Turnbull’s administration.

I may be wrong, but I don’t see Scott being involved.
