Barr has assigned US Attn'y Durham to investigate ......guess what?
Right!
The Russia Hoax!!!!
"Barr Assigns U.S. Attorney in Connecticut to Review Origins of Russia Inquiry
John H. Durham, the United States attorney in Connecticut, has a history of serving as a special prosecutor investigating potential wrongdoing among national security officials, including the F.B.I.’s ties to a crime boss in Boston and accusations of C.I.A. abuses of detainees.
His inquiry is the third known investigation focused on the opening of an F.B.I. counterintelligence investigation during the 2016 presidential campaign into possible ties between Russia’s election interference and Trump associates."
Barr Assigns U.S. Attorney in Connecticut to Review Origins of Russia Inquiry
the Mueller report makes clear that the tip from
Australian Intelligence about Papdapolous running his mouth is what started it.
They keep on trying to link the Russia investigation to the Steele Dossier and Carter Page, and it's ludicrous.
The FBI obtained FISA warrants on Carter Page back in 2014, which was two years before Steele was contracted to obtain the opposition research that turned into the Dossier. And further to that Carter Page was warned that Russian intelligence agents were trying to recruit him, and ignored the warning and continued to hang around with them. Trump hired a guy to work on his campaign that was under a FISA warrant for associating with known Russian spies, and then sent that man to Russia in the summer of 2016 where he allegedly met with both the Russian Prime Minister and an executive from Rosneft. And then they wonder why the FBI was looking at the Trump campaign.
And that's without even getting into the Papadopulous case pointed out here.
If you don't want the FBI looking at your campaign, don't hire people that are under a FISA warrant and don't hire people who brag about being an intermediary for Russia.
1. Sooo.....many trace
the Collusion Hoax back to the Australian diplomat Alexander Downer who tipped off the FBI in order to save the world.
Wadda guy!!!
2. "ALEXANDER DOWNER DEFENDS FBI TIPOFF THAT SPARKED TRUMP-RUSSIA PROBE
- In his most detailed remarks on the topic so far, former Australian diplomat Alexander Downer defended the tip he gave the FBI regarding George Papadopoulos.
- Downer said that as a “warrior the Western alliance,” he provided the FBI with a memo he wrote after a May 10, 2016 meeting in which he says Papadopoulos mentioned that Russia might release information about Hillary Clinton close to the election.
- “I don’t know why he told me this,” said Downer, dismissing Papadopoulos’s claims that the diplomat was sent to elicit damaging information about him.
Calling himself a “warrior for the Western alliance,” former Australian diplomat Alexander Downer defended sending in the tip that sparked the FBI’s investigation of then-Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign."

3. Soooo......the Hoax didn't begin with Hillary and the DNC colluding with Russia to produce the dossier????
WWWWWWWWRRRRRROOONNNGGGGG!!!!!
4. Bet you didn't know that Downer is a Clinton apparatchik, huh?
“They started by telling the story of Alexander Downer, an Australian diplomat, as having remembered a bar conversation with
George Papadopoulos, a foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign. But how did the FBI know they should talk to him? That’s left out of their narrative. Downer’s signature appears on a $25 million contribution to the
Clinton Foundation. You don’t need much imagination to figure that he was close with Clinton Foundation operatives who relayed information to the State Department, which then called the FBI to complete the loop. This wasn’t intelligence. It was likely opposition research from the start.”

5. “Australian diplomat whose tip prompted FBI’s Russia-probe has tie to Clintons
The Australian diplomat whose tip in 2016 prompted the Russia-Trump investigation previously arranged one of the largest foreign donations to Bill and Hillary Clinton’s charitable efforts, documents show.
Former Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer’s role in securing $25 million in aid from his country to help the Clinton Foundation fight AIDS is chronicled in decade-old government memos archived on the Australian foreign ministry’s website.
Downer, now Australia’s ambassador to London, provided the account of a conversation with Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos at a London bar in 2016 that became the official reason the FBI opened the Russia counterintelligence probe.
But lawmakers say the FBI didn’t tell Congress about Downer’s prior connection to the Clinton Foundation. Republicans say they are concerned the new information means nearly all of the early evidence the FBI used to justify its election-year probe of Trump came from sources supportive of the Clintons, including the controversial Steele dossier.
“The Clintons’ tentacles go everywhere. So, that’s why it’s important,” said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) chairman of a House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee that has been taking an increasingly visible role defending the Trump administration in the Russia probe. “We continue to get new information every week it seems that sort of underscores the fact that the FBI hasn’t been square with us.”
Spokesman for the FBI and Russia special counsel Robert Mueller declined comment.
