WILLIAM BARR GOES TO ROME

Powerline ^ | OCTOBER 2, 2019 | PAUL MIRENGOFF

[Hojczyk]

Mainstream media outlets and the former members of the Deep State who supply them with information and quotes are outraged that Attorney General Barr went to Rome to obtain information about Joseph Mifsud. Mifsud is the professor who helped ignite the controversy that led to the Mueller investigation. It’s almost as if these outlets and Deep Staters are fearful about what Barr might learn.

Some critics suggest that flying to Rome for investigative purposes is a waste of the Attorney General’s valuable time and of taxpayer dollars. Others say the investigation itself is misguided, if not sinister.

Our government expended substantial resources investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election and claims that Trump colluded with Russia in that interference. It seems to me that it’s worth a round trip ticket to Rome and some of the Attorney General’s time to determine whether U.S. officials colluded to undermine and/or overturn the outcome of the 2016 election.

This sort of interference by U.S. officials in our political processes, if it occurred, is heinous. We might as well throw in the towel as a democracy if we are wiling to accept it.

Another virtue of Barr’s involvement is that the more hands on he is, the more likely he can persuade Trump that there was no serious wrongdoing by Deep State actors if that’s where the evidence leads. Alternatively, because I doubt that even Barr could persuade the president of this, a finding of no serious wrongdoing would persuade many suspicious Americans, including me, that there was none.

As it stands now, I believe there probably was serious Deep State wrongdoing. There is little, if anything, on the Attorney General’s plate that’s more important than getting to the bottom of the matter.

Rome? Judges by the news today he belongs in Langley serving search warrants and subpoenas.

[Bayard]

The whole investigation gets more interesting, and more interesting.

But at some point we need to have a case made to the American people. When are the results of an investigation going to name names and recommend arrests???

EXCLUSIVE: Rumors Swirling that Fired Italian Spies Were Connected in Plot to Eliminate Trump
GATEWAY PUNDIT ^ | 5/25/2019 | Joe Hoft / FR Posted by bitt

Rumors are swirling that the recent firings of top Italian spies were related to Obama and a plot to set up candidate and President Trump in a Hillary email scandal. Earlier this month Italian Prime Minister Conte asked for the resignations of four top intelligence officials after his call with President Donald Trump. And now another Internet Sleuth has uncovered some shocking news related to the recent removal of these top Italian intelligence ministers from their positions as top spies in the government.

The story begins in January 2017 when Computer World wrote about alleged crimes committed by Italian Giulio Occhionero: The Tuesday arrest of Giulio Occhionero and his sister, Francesca Maria, has brought to light what appears to be the biggest, and highest-profile, hacking of institutional and corporate accounts ever reported in Italy. The siblings have been planting the Pyramid Eye remote access Trojan on computers using a spear-phishing technique over several years, according to the arrest order. They attacked at least 18,000 high-profile targets, including former Prime Ministers Matteo Renzi and Mario Monti, President of European Central Bank Mario Draghi, as well as employees and heads of various ministries including Internal Affairs, Treasury, Finance and Education.

Nunes: ‘Someone was running an op against the Trump campaign on FOREIGN soil’
The National Sentinel ^ | 5/31/19 | Jon Dougherty / FR Posted by SleeperCatcher

House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes told Fox News‘ Sean Hannity Thursday night that he is certain “someone” was running an intelligence operation against the 2016 Trump campaign “on foreign soil,” and that one or more U.S. allies were likely involved. “I think we can be sure about one thing and that is on foreign soil, someone was running operations against Trump campaign people,” he said. “Now, we don’t know if that was our government, if it was the British government or some type of firm of some kind, but I think it is definitely a fact that on British soil, maybe on Italian soil, there were activities going on that we need to get to the bottom of.” (Excerpt) Read more at thenationalsentinel.com ...

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.

BLACKMAIL? HUSH MONEY?

CIRCA 2017---Barack Obama transfers $500m to Green Climate Fund to protect Paris deal last days in office;
That's Obama's second $500M withdrawn from State Dept using executive powers; bypassing congressional support.
Michael Slezak / Tue 17 Jan 2017 / Last modified on Wed 14 Feb 2018

Barack Obama has transferred a second $500m installment from the State Dept to the Green Climate Fund just three days before he leaves office. Photograph: Evan Vucci/AP Barack Obama has heeded calls to help secure the future of the historic Paris agreement by transferring a second $500m instalment to the Green Climate Fund, just three days before he leaves office. The fund was a key aspect of the Paris agreement signed in 2015, which aims to keep global warming “well below” 2C and aspires to keep warming to 1.5C. Established in 2010, it is financed by wealthy countries and used to assist developing countries with adaptation and mitigation. It was widely seen as a key measure to bring both rich and poor countries to the negotiating table. The US committed to transferring $3bn to the fund. The new installment leaves $2bn owing, with the incoming president, Donald Trump, expected to cease any further payments.

"Others say the investigation itself is misguided, if not sinister."

How about the Deep-State / Swamp is so deep corrupt worldwide that the only way he can get a straight answer and not have it stolen or misinterpreted is to go do it himself? It might be that simple....

[vigilence]

I think enough evidence already exists to charge the FBI gang (Comey, McCabe etc.) for FISA abuse and the DOJ gang (Rod Rosenstein, the Ohrs’) for their roles. No need to have the whole conspiracy proven before getting started.

[ptsal]

Well, at least, Barr did not take an escoted flight to Little Saint James Island.

[rktman]

Weird place for a “pipe-off” competition. Do they even like bagpipes in Rome?

[YogicCowboy]

It sounds like a 1960s B movie title. I hope it is less fictitious.

[Bullish]

Start arresting people from the top down. We need a thorough fumigation of the swamp. This is no time to stand down again. This is the time to stand up for America and American's rights. It may be very tough to get through this but we have to or we won't survive.

[Revel]

The rumor is that they went and listened to tape recordings and such having to do with Mifsud. There is also a rumor that Mifsud made recording of conversations he had with Peter S. The conspiracy to over throw Trump may have been recorded on tape.

Of Course Rumors are not worth much.

[SuperLuminal]

Waiting for the POTUS to post detailed info on Twitter about Ted Kennedy’s trip to Moscow to get the Soviet Communists to help the American communists stop President Reagan’s reelection...

[Lisbon1940]

I think Gidget went there, too.

Where were these ‘critics’ when the Obama family was jetting all over the globe on countless vacations? Crying over taxpayer money. That is rich!

[hardspunned]

Here’s some positive news about Brennan. I guess he’s scheduled to interviewed by Durham.

You know when you are getting close when the left goes over the cliff. This is some house of criminal cards when it falls
