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 Mueller’s 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 Australia’s Kerrie Yaxley, is dated May 28, 2019, from Australian Ambassador Joe Hockey to Barr, and states: Dear Attorney General,
I refer to President Trump’s 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 Australia’s 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

I think you’re wrong, you’re not going to change my mind.
You could tell that story was a lie by the way it was worded.
This new information just confirms what we already knew.
I go back to the Nixon-Humphrey race where I began paying attention, and I have never ever seen anything even close to what I see now, the left illegally harnessing the power of government used illegitimately and openly, with active and outright lies and deceit to unseat a legitimately elected President.
Never seen anything like this in the scope, breadth, and unification on the part of the Left. They are simply ignoring the law.
Every time they have bent and broken a law to suit their purposes, and are not called on it, that is one more support structure of a functioning Republic that is simply knocked out from under us.
Each constitutional principle ignored, each law broken, is one more principle that can be ignored with impunity and one more law that can be broken with glee.
If we don't do something this country is going to dissolve right out from under our feet, and what replaces it is going to be a dark stain on mankind. Mark my words. To quote Churchill: "...But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science..."
We will be the Soviet Union with unprecedented ability to surveil our population that makes them pale in comparison, real military power that will be used on innocents to subdue them, and economic power (in the short term before they eventually destroy that as well) to be used for ill.
We should be concerned, and very afraid if we allow this to happen.
Half of Hispanics and 28% of Blacks now give a positive rating to Trump.
This is a lovely thing to see hearts come around that hadn’t in the last election! Rejoice!
See post #38
There was a recent Australian election.
After an election, the “players” change.

TRUMP ASKS AUSTRALIAN PM TO HELP DISCREDIT MUELLER
BARR RECRUITS FOREIGN OFFICIALS
#27. Would be interesting to know if Australian law allows them to bring him before a grand jury there or in the US for official misconduct charges while he was a govt official/ambassador?
That might be a way to get him extradited to the U.S. to testify before a grand jury.
It is not meant to be an endorsement, only what is in the news.
What a sweet deal!
President Trump's "adversaries" scheme a hoax and a coup d'état against him, fail, and now cry that his investigations into the origins are "using executive branch powers... aimed primarily at his adversaries."
How about his "adversaries" were using their "intelligence agency powers aimed primarily at the President?"

The Slimes lies ......
Just took a look at Drudge for the first time in a long, long time! Pretty disgusting! Won’t be going back for a long, long time again!
They are emboldened by the lack of action taken against any of their crimes.
Keep hammering the NY Slimes as fake news. That’s the lefts gold standard.
“The Dems are fighting like cornered Rats.”
Agree.
And as frustrated as Trump supporters are, I believe the left is even moreso.
In a senses, we’re winning (slightly).
That is because their literal right to breathe is on the line. Treasonous laden traitors who practice sedition in order to gain power and the payments of immoral corruption.
Fake news is noticeably gearing up, notice the fake new polls showing “mounting” support for impeachment - corrupt at their core.
