TRUMP ASKS USAG BARR TO LOOK INTO AUSTRALIA'S ROLE IN SPYGATE
news.com.au/world/ ^ | 8/25/19 | news.com.au/world/

Despite Australia’s historically strong alliance with the US, Pres Trump specifically named Australia as a nation whose part in what he calls the “Russia hoax” must be thoroughly investigated. “I’ve declassified everything,” Mr Trump told AAP reporters. “ 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.” Mr Trump described the Russia probe as “an attempted coup or an attempted takedown of the president of the United States”.

In addition to President Trump’s allegations, his former campaign aide George Papadopoulos is also pointing the finger at Australia. Mr Papadopoulos has claimed Australia’s former high commissioner to the UK, Alexander Downer, set up a meeting and we were apparently discussing conspiracy stuff,” Papadopoulos said earlier this year. “I believe Australian and UK intelligence were involved in an active operation to target Trump and his associates,” Papadopoulos said. There has been no love lost between the two men, with Papadopolous referring to Downer as, “The Devil From Down Under” in his book Deep State Target.

In another unsubstantiated claim, Papadopoulos insists Mr Downer recorded their conversation with a phone. “The phone comes out again,” Papadopoulos writes in the book. “He must have grabbed it and held it up at least four times. “He is so aggressive, so hostile, it’s actually a bit intimidating.” Papadopoulos claims he was a victim of Australian, UK and US spy mission ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

“The Austaralian government categorically rejects any allegation that it sought somehow to interfere in the US presidential election,” said a DFAT spokesperson. However, Mr Downer did confirm that during the meeting, Mr Papadopoulos revealed Russia had damaging material on Mr Trump’s presidential rival Hillary Clinton.

If the Deep State gets away with this, there will be a next time and next time will make this time seem like child’s play. It will be all over for the United States.

“The United States will NOT survive a two-tier justice system.”

I agree. But barr is following the sessions trajectory. He isn’t going after the elites at DOJ and the other alphabets. Only the little people are taking the hits.

If he goes after Australian diplomats and bureacracy that means nothing. In fact, it could push them closer to China.

Trump takes things very personally and punishes those that have hurt him, so he is doing this against Australians. However, what I would like to see is Trump pardoning Manafort, Flynn, and Stone. Then, go after the elites. That would show that he’s there to protect the little guy and not establishment.

"Yes Mr. President. My conclusion is that like Epstein, Australia committed suicide and is dead. Nothing to see here. Sorry I couldn't get back sooner. I was too busy huffing on my Hookah!"

That’s true. And he will never give away what they are actually doing.

Like the rest of us, I’m frustrated.

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