A few minutes ago, Sebastian Gorkha said he will accompany SecState Mike Pompeo tomorrow on his trip to, among other nations, Italy.

Attorney General Bill Barr arrived in Italy last Friday.

George Papadopolous speculated the lid is about to blow off Obamagate.

We’ll see.

Pelosi was just in Italy, too.

I imagine that the reason for the visit by Pompeo is to negotiate declassification of Italy's role in the Russian Hoax. Why is a visit necessary? As always, Italy's default position when asked for anything is to resist and set up a negotiation seeking concessions or favors in return.

In this instance, the two administrations are both on the Right and politically copacetic. My guess is that the conservative elected Italian government would like some assurance that since the US now supports Brexit, that they will provide financial and trade concessions to Italy in return for Italian support for Brexit.
