Trump Pressed Australian Leader to Help Investigate Mueller Origins

[CWayne]

I wonder if you are aware that the Mueller investigation was discredited by Mueller himself?

As for asking foreign leaders to provide information on investigations regarding possible criminal matters, only those with partisan hatred will see that as wrong.

Your OP is the Schiff version of what really happened.
1. Barr is investigating the origin of the Mueller Investigation and the spying on Trump to ensure that they were properly initiated/predicated.
2. Barr is also interested in punishing anyone that abused the FISA warrant process.
3. Barr is also interested in ensuring that the intel community did not illegally participate in the election, such as using foreign assets

Barr will get to the bottom of the deep state's coup attempts.

Meanwhile, 3 Democrat Senators, Leahy, Durbin, and Menendez, sent the Ukrainians a threatening letter to them to assist in the Mueller investigation!

True story.

True story.

So the democrats can abuse their power and its not a crime, but if Trump ask politely for a favor its impeachable?
The dems need to guess again, we won't stand for that double-standard bullshit.

From the amusing to the ridiculous. Kitchen sink to follow.

Trump Pressed Australian Leader to Help Barr Investigate Mueller Inquiry’s Origins

At least Trump is consistent.

I'm gonna bet that you are unaware of the fact......FACT.....that an Australian Clinton apparatchik began the fiasco by telling a story about Papadopoulos.



“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.”

“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.
