AG Bill Barr Visits Italy on “Official Business”? – Remember That Audio-Tape Depo by Mifsud?…
conservative treehouse ^ | 9/28/19 | sundance

Posted on 09/28/2019 6:49:00 PM PDT by dontreadthis

First, the context… On Thursday night Carl Bernstein said: William Barr is preparing to deliver “evidence of a deep state conspiracy.” Bernstein’s statement followed on the heels of Chairman Jerry Nadler proclaiming: “The President dragged the Attorney General into this mess,” [Nadler wrote on Twitter after the transcript was released]. “At a minimum, AG Barr must recuse himself until we get to the bottom of this matter.”

Then on Friday during an interview on MSNBC Morning Joe, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said AG William Barr had “gone rogue” in his efforts to protect President Trump.

Amid the newly visible sense of urgency toward a Trump impeachment effort by all of the aforementioned soft-coup participants (and more), it certainly does seem like AG Bill Barr is at the forefront of their current concern. Then there’s this…

Also on Friday, George Papadopoulos shared via his twitter account: “AG Barr has been on official travel in Italy for the past two days.” Referencing a possibility the Attorney General was in Italy for an interview with the mysterious Maltese professor/Western intelligence asset at the center of 2016’s ‘spygate’, Joseph Mifsud.

It’s time to go on strong offense. Tell these crooked Democrats to kiss off because they’ve gone too far. Now the focus must be on removing these crooks. They belong in prison,

It looks like it’s about to get real or it’s over for Trump.

People need to start getting arrested before impeachment goes further. Democrats are in a race to crucify Trump before their corruption is exposed.

They are also targetting Barr to get him removed from the trail. Just like Biden got the Ukraine prosecutor fired. I do believe Trump took too long to act. Should have fired Sessions long long time ago. As soon as he recused he should have fired him for being incompetent.

If it’s a fake counter intel you can prosecute them for the lies. But only if Rice knew it was a fake operation.

Maybe Rudy just made confirmations and the AG is acting on them. There is absolutely NO ONE they can trust, is there?

I do not think Barr has been to Italy recently. The headlines are all from today.

Rudy went to the Ukraine recently.

Yes, that’s what some very smart diggers are beginning to find now.

> “But only if Rice knew it was a fake operation.”

I don’t know about that. Rice was just trying to leave a record that it was a counter-intel investigation so that the lies told could not be prosecuted as lies (disinformation) are allowed in a counter-intel operation.

Whether Rice knew or not depends on the ORIGINS of the Russia-Collusion story and that story starts in Ukraine.

I’m repeating what other very smart dot connectors are putting together. Even Rush Limbaugh is touting this as the direction things are heading to.

But I’m getting a deeper dive from others, not Rush.

This could fundamentally change the status quo of our nation.

Like both parties abrogating the Constitution and swearing in an ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia didn’t?

I think Rudy probably located the server, but didn’t take physical control of it. He passed the information on to Barr and the DOJ will physically take the computer. This eliminates a messy chain of custody issue.

I’m betting the Solicitor-General of the Ukraine grabbed the server early in the corruption investigation and it has been sitting under lock and key somewhere.

Rudy can verify the existence/location of the server without tipping the information to the Deep State. This is going to blow-up rather quickly which is why the Democrats are trying to control the news cycle.

I think you got it right.

It also explains in a roundabout way why the Democrats jumped on impeachment before seeing the transcript because they thought the transcript contained things like the location and didn’t expect POTUS to declas and release the transcript.

So they jumped on impeachment with the story that POTUS was pressuring Ukraine to get after Biden and Schiff did the ridiculous shake down reading as if it was fact thinking it would stick in a vacuum.

POTUS was smart not to bring up the location of the server in the call with the Ukrainian President.

I am REALLY hoping Barr is a straight-shooter.

Having worked with a Federal Task Force before, I know things don’t move as quickly as they do at the state level.

I would bet Durham already has interviews with the “overseas” players which would get him search warrants for bank records, cell phone records, and pin registers. In all likelihood, he may have wiretaps of some of the players like Brennan, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Orr, and others. Usually, the Feds don’t arrest the players piecemeal, they usually try and round all of them up at the same time to ensure hard evidence isn’t destroyed.

I’m not concerned that it is taking this long, I go by the theory the longer the investigation the more charges will be forth coming. The last major investigation (drug-related) I worked at the Task Force level took over a year. But, like dominoes, the arrests came fast and furious.

I am hoping this will be the same.

Mifsud could be a “DOUBLE AGENT”, working for the CIA and the Soviets/Russians (same ops). Not unheard of in the past and a very effective tactic to throw off counter-intelligence investigations. Worked for Ames, Aldrich, Hansen, the Cuban woman spy and others.

The Wash. Post has always served as a Soviet disinformation platform, from Vietnam to Nicaragua and El Salvador specifically.

Suspected Soviet/Cuban assets among WP writers included Tad Szulc (his daughter was a red - in NACLA), Lawrence Stern (almost 100% positive he was a Soviet agent according to my late friends who ran Latin American counter-intelligence operations, and Karen DeYoung (Sandinista disinformation writer during the 1980s and now one or the top foreign news editors for the WP).

There were a few others who were also suspect but without as much evidence.

Won’t even mention the NYT’s red propaganda operations except for the well exposed one about Obit Writer Alden Whitman, an admitted 12 year member of the Communist Party USA who wrote glowing obits about such red agents as Paul Robeson and Hugh Mulzac.

Information on this appeared in an issue of the “Accuracy in Media” bulletin around 1997.

Other communist writers working for the mainstream media included Lionel Martin (Cuba, an old red, I think it was ABC or NBC news); Calvin Zon (Trotskyite SWPer, Wash. Evening Star); Abdullah Schlieffer (ex Maoist of the PLP group, in Jerusalem, don’t remember which papers he wrote for but fellow PLM/PLP leader Phil Luce exposed him many decades ago); and Charles R. Allen (CPUSA front man on German affairs, was a key “Nazi-hunter” for either ABC special or NBC special. He was exposed in the Wash. Jewish Week newspaper about 1983.

Lots of our enemies pose as loyal Americans and this included a number of Soviet assets in the U.S. Congress since Rep. Dickstein (NKVD, admitted) in 1934 thru John Conyers Jr, George Crockett Jr., Hugh DeLacy (Leon Panetta’s political mentor), Parren Mitchell (who had an apparent tie to identified and convicted Soviet spy Victor Perlo (via a congressional hearing at which Perlo testified. No one on the committee would have known about Perlo’s Soviet spy/CPUSA Economic Commission leadership EXCEPT Mitchell).

Today you have Rep. Judy Chu (D-Cal) as Red China’s top agent in Congress, along with Rep. Grace Meng (D-NY) and possible Ted Liu. Check out their red backgrounds at www.keywiki.org, search under their name. Won’t you be shocked!!

And Dianne Feinstein.

WaPo was CIA's paper of choice during the Cold War for domestic propaganda, but also always harbored Soviet fellow travelers, starting with Philip Graham, who along with Joseph Rauh and Edward Prichard and Soviet agent Lauchlin Currie had been part of Felix Frankfurter's "Goon Squad" spy network inside the Roosevelt administration during WWII. This network overlapped with what was called the Georgetown Set.

"The men shared similar political views. They tended to hold liberal views on domestic issues. These attitudes were developed while they were students in the 1930s. They were also passionate anti-communists. This was the result of the men's experiences during the was and the events in Europe that followed the collapse of Nazi Germany in 1945. The vast majority were members of the Democratic Party but John Sherman Cooper and Desmond FitzGerald were both left-wing Republicans. As Sally Reston pointed out: "We were liberal anti-Communist, intellectuals, precisely the class and breed that Joe McCarthy hated and whose careers he wanted to ruin. It was the same old battle: the Republican right versus the Democratic left." It was members of the Georgetown Set that began lobbying for a new intelligence agency. The main figure in this was Frank Wisner. With the help of another member, George Kennan, the Office of Special Projects was created in 1948. Wisner was appointed director of the organization. Soon afterwards it was renamed the Office of Policy Coordination (OPC). This later became the espionage and counter-intelligence branch of the Central Intelligence Agency. . .Wisner also established Operation Mockingbird, a program to influence the American media. Wisner persuaded Philip Graham (Washington Post) to run the project within the industry. Graham himself recruited others who had worked for military intelligence during the war. This included James Truitt, Russell Wiggins, Phil Geyelin, John Hayes and Alan Barth. Others like Stewart Alsop, Joseph Alsop and James Reston, were recruited from within the Georgetown Set. According to Deborah Davis (Katharine the Great): "By the early 1950s, Wisner 'owned' respected members of the New York Times, Newsweek, CBS and other communications vehicles." J. Edgar Hoover became jealous of the CIA's growing power. He described the OPC as "Wisner's gang of weirdos" and began carrying out investigations into their past. It did not take him long to discover that some of them had been active in left-wing politics in the 1930s. This information was passed to who started making attacks on members of the OPC. Hoover also gave McCarthy details of an affair that Frank Wisner had with Princess Caradja in Romania during the war. Hoover, claimed that Caradja was a Soviet agent. Another members of the Georgetown Set, including Dean Acheson, George Kennan,, and Chip Bohlen, were also targeted. Joseph McCarthy also began accusing other senior members of the CIA as being security risks. McCarthy claimed that the CIA was a "sinkhole of communists" and claimed he intended to root out a hundred of them. One of his first targets was Cord Meyer, who was still working for Operation Mockingbird. In August, 1953, Richard Helms, Wisner's deputy at the OPC, told Meyer that Joseph McCarthy had accused him of being a communist. The Federal Bureau of Investigation added to the smear by announcing it was unwilling to give Meyer "security clearance". However, the FBI refused to explain what evidence they had against Meyer. Allen W. Dulles and both came to his defence and refused to permit a FBI interrogation of Meyer. Joseph McCarthy did not realise what he was taking on. Wisner unleashed Mockingbird on McCarthy. Drew Pearson, Joe Alsop, Jack Anderson, Walter Lippmann and Ed Murrow all went into attack mode and McCarthy was permanently damaged by the press coverage orchestrated by Wisner. . .": The Georgetown Set

PS on that: the Georgetown set members weren’t all “passionate anti-communists”, just temporarily anti-Soviet after the Truman administration became disillusioned with Stalin, a distinction often overlooked in literature on this. As noted, many had been active left-wingers in the 1930s, and they reverted to that orientiation when it came to issues like opposing McCarthy and pushing for the restoration of State Department commies like Alger Hiss.

How does anyone know that there is a server sitting in the Ukraine? I see it said often, but what is the evidence for this?
