A letter emerged late on Monday from the Australian government that directly disputed the accuracy of a New York Times report that claimed that President Donald Trump pushed Australia to help Attorney General William Barr investigate the origins of Special Counsel Robert Muellers Russia investigation in an attempt to discredit the investigation in what The Times claimed was an example of Trump using high-level diplomacy to advance his personal political interests.
The letter, reported by Nine News Australias Kerrie Yaxley, is dated May 28, 2019, from Australian Ambassador Joe Hockey to Barr, and states: Dear Attorney General,
I refer to President Trumps announcement on 24 May that you will investigate the origins of the Federal Bureau of Investigations probe into Russian links to the 2016 US election.
I note that the President referred to Australia, the United Kingdom and the Ukraine as potential stakeholders. Moreover, I note that he has declassified intelligence material to support your investigation.
The Australian Government will use its best endeavors to support your efforts in this matter. While Australias former High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, The Hon. Alexander Downer, is no longer employed by the government, we stand ready to provide you with all the relevant information to support your inquiries.
The Acting White House Chief of Staff, The Honorable Michael Mulvaney, has been copied on this letter.
Yours sincerely,
The Hon Joe Hockey

The sheer amount of flaming bu***hit being thrown at this is jawdropping. The Dems mean business this time.
Letter From Australian Official Emerges That Casts Doubt On Report From New York Times
= = =
Any breath of life from any organism on Earth would Cast Doubt On any NYT Report.
Just wait until Australia has a whistle blower who reveals just why the government gave over $10million to the Clintons and then ended such bribes after she lost in 2016.
Liars gotta lie.
How awful our president is wanting to know the truth about what he was accused of for over two years.
bttt
My guess is Drudge won’t mention this for another day or two if at all. I am done with him.
It seems as if they created mass hysteria overnight--that is, it seems that way because their media (all the media) are non-stop characterizing it that way.
The Dems are fighting like cornered Rats.
The house of cards is starting to fall!!! This time Trump will NOT let this go THE GLOVES ARE OFF!!! These bastards are going to be revealed they have gone to far!!!
Amen! I thought the two of them got along swell, and that State Dinner looked fabulous!
“Sure, we can help you, but Alexander Downer is off limits.”
Doesn’t sound much like cooperation, does it?
OTOH,I can see it hurting him at least a bit...with "independents" who voted for him in '16. Some might say to themselves..."well,I'm not sure that this is true but I'm not sure it isn't. I think I'll stay home on Election Day".
Could be Trump looking into CROWDSTRIKE. But just saying for a friend...
Well, they are RATs.
It’s ALl coming down now. Barr is not in Italy testing the gelato.
Keep going NY Times and Wash. Compost. You folks keep looking like real idiots.
And they are cornered! :)
Another way of looking at it is that they are saying that Downer is no longer in a position where he can block the release of damaging information.
Just something to think about.
