Barr’s Requests for Foreign Help Prompt Backlash in Australia, Italy, U.K.

Attorney General William Barr is sowing discord in several foreign capitals, going outside usual channels to seek help from allies in reviewing the origins of a U.S. counterintelligence investigation begun during the 2016 presidential campaign.

By meeting directly with foreign leaders

It is extraordinarily enlightening.

Soros is likely behind the “discord”. That and corrupt politicians.

"going outside usual channels"

Trying to get outside of the 'Nudge, nudge - wink wink' network of crooks running out intelligence agencies.

[jcon40]

When ...” Investigator to investigator channels “ are untrustworthy you’re supposed to keep using them ?

[old curmudgeon]

I have not read it, but I will make the suggestion that anything you read at WSJ should be taken with a very large grain of salt.

They, except for a very few, have never supported President Trump nor do they now. They have a lot to lose over the ending of the one world scheme.

In addition remember that what you see in this is very ambitious people guarding their turf.

People who could not or would not make a thorough investigation when they had the chance.

[billyboy15]

The only ones upset appear to be the Intel Agencies. It appears Barr doesn’t ant to deal with them because he believe they were working with our own agencies to take down our president.

Foreign governments began turning off money spigots to the scandal-scarred Clinton Foundation; the foundation received millions from dozens of foreign governments including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the Netherlands, Canada, Sweden and Ireland.

<><> French federal comptrollers began following a trail of tens of millions in government money that ended up
in Clinton Foundation coffers, according to a document reviewed by The NY Post.

<><> The Australian government announced that it would end its decade-long affiliation with the Clinton Foundation
— amounting to as much as $25 million, according to the foundation’s Web site.

<><> Norway is also scaling back; donations reached $25 million in 2015.

==============================

ITEM---Investors Business Daily reported huge foreign contributions to the Clinton Foundation were not publicly disclosed,
despite Mrs. Clinton's agreement with the Obama White House to publicly identify all such donors.

ITEM---The Dallas office of the IRS's investigation into Clinton Foundation public filings found missing disclosures
concerning Clinton Foundation donations from foreign governments. Other glaring discrepancies should
have triggered payment of substantial fines, penalties, and interest to government treasuries long ago.

Then-NYAG Eric Schneiderman Let Clinton Foundation skip identifying foreign donors
By Bob Fredericks September 6, 2016 | 9:37pm

State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman gave the Clinton Foundation a pass on identifying foreign donors in its charitable filings — making it impossible to know if it got any special favors while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, according to a report Tuesday.

Scripps News found that the foundation and its subsidiary, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, took in $225 million in government donations between 2010 and 2014. New York’s charity law clearly states: “Organizations that received a contribution or grant from a government agency during the reporting period shall include the name of each agency from which contributions were received and the amount of each contribution.” But both the foundation and the CHAI failed to do that, and Schneiderman, a member of Clinton’s “leadership council” in New York and a fierce critic of Donald Trump, did nothing about it.

On its website, the Clinton Foundation reveals its foreign donors, but using only broad ranges, such as $5 million to $10 million, without any time frames. The IRS doesn’t require such disclosures.In 2009, Clinton’s first year at the State Department, the foundation disclosed a lump sum of $122 million in foreign-government donations in its New York paperwork, posting the total amount on a form that requires all charities to “list each government contribution separately.”

Clinton spokesman Josh Schwerin said, “This is a ridiculous accusation. The Clinton Foundation goes above and beyond the disclosure requirements by listing every donor on their website and updating the list quarterly.” Schneiderman’s office said, “The Clinton Foundation’s disclosures regarding funding from foreign governments are in compliance with New York law.”

Other charities complied, including the George W. Bush foundation, which reported receiving $5 million from Saudi Arabia and $500,000 from Kuwait.

Hillary and the smirking Eric Schneiderman (right).

As NY AG Eric Schneiderman helped the Clinton Foundation hide foreign donations.
Schneiderman was recently ousted from office for slapping choking and spitting at women in his bedroom for sex.
The lawman threatened to tap one women's phone.

Our Intel Agency telling them to not tell them anything

[Brilliant]

Basically the point is that the intelligence heads of these countries are upset that Barr went directly to the political leaders without going thru them. That shows a guilty conscience I think.

Another point. Ive noticed that the WSJ has a number of reporters who seem to delight in writing articles that are critical of Trump in all these investigations. I can’t say their facts are wrong. But they present the anti-Trump interpretation of them.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

They certainly can’t use the phones, with the CIA spying on them!!! Isn’t it just great that the taxpayers now have to pay for airfares because Trump’s admins phones are tapped and they can’t trust that EVERYTHING won’t be leaked!!!!

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.

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.

“Fake news!”

Read the article.

It’s not fake news.

[Brilliant]

They don’t want folks to know what they’ve been up to. I suspect that the key is if Mifsud states that he was put up to it by the CIA. If that happens then the whole thing will blow sky high.

Aren’t these all members of the Five Eyes spy agreement?

you know, the ones that Obama enlisted to do the actual dirty work in 2015-16?

[ptsal]

It appears Barr doesn’t [w]ant to deal with them because he believe they were working with our own agencies to take down our president.

Seems like this might be another illustration of INSANTITY.... trusting the intel agencies.

These intel squirrels have an agenda: rounding up nuts to do their dirty work.
