US Attorney John Durham is running an investigation into the Russia hoax that has been almost airtight. A fragment of information on his activities, however, comes our way via Australian media.
Alexander Downer’s meeting with George Papadopoulos at the Kensington Wine Rooms in 2016 played a key role in providing a rationale for an FBI investigation of the Trump campaign, including FISA warrants allowing wiretapping. At the time, Downer was the Australian High Commissioner (ambassador) to the UK, and had been Australia’s foreign minister earlier, a very senior diplomat to be entertaining a young Trump campaign volunteer.
The meeting, also attended by Aussie diplomat Erika Thompson, elicited the information from Papadopoulos that he had been told by mysterious Maltese Professor Joseph Mifsud that the Russians had a trove of Hillary Clinton’s missing emails. When that information was duly passed along and reached the US, it became justification for investigating “collusion with Russia.”
Over last weekend, Downer sat for an interview with Sky News of Australia, and via paywalled News Corp newspapers, we learn:
Former Australian foreign affairs minister Alexander Downer has reportedly told a US investigator he did not try to bring down Donald Trump during the 2016 US presidential election.
“Try to bring down” is language to could hide a lot of other activity.
US Attorney John Durham, tasked with investigating the origins of the probe into Russian influence in the election, is understood to have interviewed Mr Downer in London last month and reviewed a confidential Australian diplomatic cable to clarify Australia’s role, The Australian reports.

5,4,3,2,1, till one of the hyperbolic hand wringing cynics attempts to characterize this as either inconsequential or even a bad thing.
Nice!
Trust, but verify.
Was the interview uplifting or was it a . . .
It doesn’t sound like Downer is going to help much.
I think this is a circle back to the truth that Obama and the DNC were trying to use the powers of our ‘ally nations’ like Australia, England, Germany to ‘influence US Presidential Elections’.
True. But even if Downer says HE DIDN"T try to foil Donald Trump, then that brings up the question of WHO asked him to do so ?
ZZZZZ... wake me when there are indictments, and arrests. . . preferably at 4 AM with a swat squad, helicopters, and the press notified ahead of time to film it all.
“Alexander Downer has reportedly told a US investigator he did not try to bring down Donald Trump during the 2016 US presidential election.”
Did Durham check to make sure his fingers weren’t crossed when he said that?
Exactly right.
It all leads to B. Hussein Obama.

Either Sydney Powell or Tom Fitts, or maybe even LIZ here at FR led me to the phrase “it starts and ends with the State Dept”.
Ukraine, the poorest country in Europe, with greatest amount of funds in Clinton Foundation, useful in money laundering U.S. funds from DOJ, DOD, ... Hillary’s missing $5B from State Dept, PLUS! Off the books IC (Intelligence Community) black-ops money stashes, ... then there’s Soros $$$$, and behind him, the globalist families’ money.
And President Trump, a non-professional politician, has only been at this for 2+ years. He is facing multi-generation family dynasties. I hate his mannerisms, but the guy is awesome! And worthy of a prayer if you’re so inclined.
Well said! He’s unconventional, at best, but doing it the only way he know how, and he’s awesome! I pray for him, and us, daily.
"The reason the Australian government is now throwing Downer and Thompson under the bus is because it’s clear that they were in on it with Mifsud. Australia reaches out the week BEFORE Mifsud drops the “info” with Thompson, who tried to act as a honeypot, then a WEEK after with Downer, the Clinton errand boy whose bizarre behavior at my meeting with him sparked the Durham probe, was on Australian tv today ranting like a lunatic against Trump and me. The probe is closing in on him. He’s feeling the heat."
Well well. Remember Covfefe? I read right here on FR that Trump was referring to “Covert 5 eyes, 5 eyes”
I figure Trump has known all along who spied on him. And for me.... so help me God Barr and Durham better Indict AND convict these well known coupsters.
