Trump calls for investigation into Australia in ‘Russia hoax’

US President Donald Trump wants Australia’s role in sparking the 2016 FBI probe into potential links between his election campaign and Russia examined by US Attorney General William Barr.

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

Giuliani met with former Ukrainian diplomat as he pursues info on Democratic ties to Ukraine

President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani met with a former Ukrainian diplomat in New York last week, according to a new report. Giuliani spent the afternoon with Andrii Telizhenko, 28, who has accused the Democratic National Committee of conspiring with Kiev to find damaging information on former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. The DNC has rejected his allegations. “He was in Washington and he came up to New York, and we spent most of the afternoon together,” Giuliani told the Washington Post.

But Giuliani was tight-lipped when asked for details. “I can’t tell you a thing about the meeting,” he said. “When I have something to say, I’ll say it.” Telizhenko confirmed he met with Giuliani. “We spoke on U.S.-Ukraine relations and politics in D.C. and Ukraine,” he said.

Giuliani called off a trip to Ukraine this month where he wanted to learn more details about the genesis of the federal Russia investigation, and Joe Biden’s son’s ties to an energy company owned by a Ukrainian oligarch. The trip faced pushback from the State Department, and a senior administration official said Trump viewed the trip as too “hot.” It raised questions regarding what capacity Giuliani was serving the president, even though Giuliani said Ukraine was notified he was representing Trump in a personal capacity and not on behalf of the administration. Giuliani has said he still wants to dig up information on Democrats’ connections to Ukraine.

“””Trump calls for investigation into Australia in ‘Russia hoax’”””

From your article http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3751348/posts?page=1253#1253 :

“Jim Himes, a Democrat member of the House Intelligence Committee, said Trump was damaging alliances and potentially exposing confidential sources for his own political purposes.”

“What the UK and Australia and New Zealand see is because the president, in order to forward a political fantasy, may blow our sources and methods, put our people at risk,” Himes told CNN.”

Now that the human manatee, Jerry "Fat Pants" Nadler's derp brain exploded due to overuse and sugar overload, which Dem-derp will take his place on the House Judiciary Committee?

Here is the list of likely candidates, unless the derps bring in an "outsider".

There are some particularly nasty ones on that list. Swallwell, Sheila Jackson-Lee, Hank "Guam Tips Over" Johnson, "Chicken Eating" Cohen, Lieu. I've never noticed the vice-chair woman. Is she most likely?

Anyway. Whoever they choose will be the new IMPEACH TRUMP member. Might as well get ready.
