SpyGate Shake-Up: Prime Minister of Italy Fires Top Officials ...
https://pjmedia.com/trending/spygate-shake-up-prime-minister-of-italy-fires-top-officials-from-italian-intel-agencies/
May 17, 2019 ... PM @GiuseppeConteIT has suddenly requested resignations from 6 deputy directors of Italian intelligence agencies: DIS, AISI and AISE...
Having been an associate of Booth's in the earlier kidnapping plan, however, Surratt could reasonably have expected to hang along with everyone else. He left the country. He did enlist in the Swiss Guards, though he did so under a false name, and I am not aware that the papal authorities had any idea who he was.
As it turned out, the investigations and trials following Lincoln's assassination were a model of restraint. Most governments throughout history would have conducted a broad sweep followed by drumhead trials and wholesale executions. In this case, however, the authorities were remarkably precise and highly disciplined. The assassinators were hung. A small group of Booth collaborators not directly linked to the assassination (e.g. kidnapping plot participants who took no part in the assassination) were convicted and sent to prison for varying terms; this is how Dr. Mudd got his all-expenses-paid visit to the Florida Keys, where he distinguished himself in a yellow fever epidemic and won a commutation. Nothing at all was done to a larger number of Booth collaborators who had been members of the confederate underground during the war but who had no involvement in the two plots against Lincoln.
Wonder if any of this has to do with what Christopher Steele got up to in Italy...
I hope he packed his pistol and bullwhip. Just incase things get rough.
Olive Garden lasagna? I have to send you a tray of my home made lasagna.
I really tried to read the whole article before commenting, but got to:
“In short, it makes water on all sides.”
and couldn’t go any further.....
Nevertheless, there is likely some truth behind the story, about another Durham visit. We’ll see.
Badly written article...
...but interesting.
Feel bad for you. My Italian business partner doesn’t consider Olive Garden as Italian food at all. I consider it overpriced pasta.
The soup and salad lunch deal is pretty good tho’....
What I find interesting here is that both Barr and Durham have gone to Europe themselves on their investigations, instead of relying on subordinates to do their work.
To me, this says something loud and clear: whatever they are dealing with is far too serious to trust to subordinates - they need whatever info they are seeking FIRST HAND.
And, they wouldn’t be going themselves unless they were pretty confident that they would get the info they were after.
Anyone agree?
You know that machine translation is getting better when you think it is a badly written article by an English speaking author.
From the article: “Translated by google from Italian”
I had the same notion the first time I heard both of them were visiting various European countries themselves rather than sending trusted subordinates to investigate. That is highly unusual. It sure does convey the message “We are serious about this and expect you to reciprocate; this is not something you can sweep under the rug.”
Back in my younger days, I did a lot of research on the Lincoln assassination, and the conspirators. Around 1989, I took my mother on a trip south, and we stayed at Tudor Hall in Bel Air, Maryland. It was the Booth’s family home. At the time it was owned by Dorothy and Howard Fox. They were running it as a bed and breakfast. The Foxes were wonderful people, and eventually they organized P.A.T.H. (Preservation Association for Tudor Hall). I joined the Association not long after its inception, and each year they held a seminar on the Lincoln Assassination and the Booth family in the Maryland area. Many Lincoln Assassination experts like James O. Hall, Harold Holzer, Mike Kauffmann, etc. gave presentations. There were also experts who spoke of the family’s acting history. It was a great time. And up until a couple of years ago, I belonged to the Surratt Society, which runs the Surratt House in Clinton, Maryland, and hosts the Lincoln Assassination Trail bus tours.
I was researching the 55th Massachusetts at the time, and traveled to D.C. regularly to access the records at the National Archives, and old newspapers on microfilm at the Library of Congress. The National Tribune was a paper published in Washington. It was for Civil War veterans, and is supposed to have been the precursor of Stars and Stripes. It is a wealth of knowledge on just about every aspect of the Civil War. I went through it issue by issue, not just in D.C., but had the microfilms sent to my local library on inter-library loan so I could go through them there. While searching for anything on black troops during the war, I came across a lot of interesting articles from individuals regarding President Lincoln, the assassination, etc. I gathered up all these tidbits, and sent them all to Mike Kauffman to see if any of them would be helpful to his research. When his book “American Brutus” was published, he sent me an autographed copy, and mentioned me in the Acknowledgements. I always enjoyed sharing my research, and have acknowledgements in other author’s Civil War related books. All the articles I’d copied from The National Tribune, along with the 8 boxes of Civil War research I had conducted, I gave to the National Guard Museum and Archives in Concord, Massachusetts several years ago.
Ya, their credible.
Careful! If a source says something favorable to Trump, you must not question it. If you do, the Mods will give you a three day break.
"Try the veal, it's the best in the city."
Barr and Durham going personally indicates they don’t trust their subordinates. That’s a wise move.
