"Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee,
said in an interview that he had heard from several concerned intelligence officials."

I'll bet they're concerned.

Elements of British intelligence, Italian intelligence and Australian intelligence agencies colluded in an illegal operation to interfere in the American 2016 election to elect Hillary Clinton. When she lost, they conspired in a coup to unseat a legally elected US President

This constitutes an overt act of war on the part of theses countries against the United States

The intelligence operatives in these countries who were part of the coup attempt have been sacked and most of the corrupt government officials have been removed from office.

Their replacements are reformers intent on rooting out corruption from the Obama era.

They are very happy to host our Atty General, Mr Barr to help them get to the bottom of what has transpired and to right the wrongs of their predecessors

Certainly there are ousted officials and holdovers who are displeased with the investigations because they are ones being investigated

At any rate, hosting Mr Barr is infinitely preferable to dealing with another agent of US enforcement whose name also starts with a B, Mr B-2 Bomber.

It’s that serious

These governments are

Hasn't Aruna reported a bunch of Fake News stories over the past several year?

In a way so does mariner.

He recently said in a post, almost matter of fact, that Trump would sign Mike Lee's anti-American, pro Indian H1B Bill

To say Barr’s relationship with U.S. intelligence agencies is strained is a huge understatement. Barr doesn’t trust them and certainly doesn’t trust them to get truthful information from other countries, or to make much of an effort to do so. They have slow-walked everything for the past three years, and Barr isn’t going to put up with their B.S. any longer.

That tells me a few things, most importantly, the FBI is not in the loop and this just reinforces my belief that all of the caterwauling about the Ukraine phone call nonsense is due to the fact that the endgame with the intelligence agencies transgressions is coming near.

One of the revealing points about the "whistle blower complaint" is that the CIA professionals had there noses out of joint because Trump had the transcript of the conversation put on a secure server they did not have access to. Reducing their access to the President and his papers/communications is the small slight they cannot accept.

Good point. Never thought of that. Does not make me feel better. Long way to go to pull off draining the swamp even when 1/2 the voters may already suspect it..

Whoever wins this will display a true demonstration of power.

Thanks for the paywa) work around. Article has the typical bias but shows what’s happening and it appears to be happening

[Robert357]

Those three countries have a lot to hid in regards to the US State Department and Intelligence agencies outreach to create a sting operation and plant evidence against Trump and his advisers.

Confession is good for the Soul, but hard on corrupt political hacks.

[Robert357]

I hope you are right.

The Dems tried to sweep their doings under the rug of foreign co-conspirators so that’s where one needs to go to get to the slimy/sludgy bottom of what went on....
