Maltese professor a missing link in FBI's 'Russia-gate'

Deposition on phones given to John Durham

A new question about the mysterious Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud is: What did he say on a taped deposition handed to the team of special Justice Department investigator John Durham?

Mr. Mifsud is a subject on Mr. Durham’s agenda. The Washington Times reported that Mr. Durham, the U.S. attorney for Connecticut, obtained two Mifsud BlackBerry cellphones. Stephan Roh, Mr. Mifsud’s attorney, told The Times he provided the deposition recording to Mr. Durham’s team in midsummer.

Mr. Mifsud’s April 2016 conversation with a Trump associate ignited the FBI’s long Trump-Russia probe. In May 2018, Mr. Mifsud sat in Mr. Roh’s law office in Zurich recounting his time as an academic traveling in Europe, from London to Rome to Paris to Moscow.

Mr. Roh contends that Mr. Mifsud, who has been in hiding for months, was not just a peripatetic professor but also a Western “intelligence operative” who fed what he knew to retired officials.

The Times could not confirm this. No independent evidence at this point shows Mr. Mifsud played that role. The Times reached out to one person named by Mr. Roh as a Mifsud intelligence contact, but that person didn’t respond.

Former FBI Director James B. Comey, with access to counterintelligence files, said flatly that Mr. Mifsud was a Russian “agent.”

Mr. Roh said the FBI detained and questioned him upon his arrival in the U.S. for vacation. He was never accused of wrongdoing. No Trump associate has been charged in any Russian election conspiracy.

I saw him a few days ago he is pretty sure Misfud was a us asset which completely blows up the basis for the collusion investigation/fisa warrants.

Been addicted to Bongino’s podcasts for a about a year. He has done a terrific job on outing this coup attempt.

Sort of off topic but not really. Back in the ‘80s, I went out a couple of times with nice, intelligent fellow whose family came from Malta. I was single then and so was he. Took me to a nice restaurant and we had a drink in the bar waiting for a table.

Hostess finally called his name: Table for Urine. Table for Urine.

His name was Yuren, pronounced You- REN. But I had no intention of becoming Mrs. Urine.

None of us should.

So, that’s what you can count on from people from Malta.
