Interesting that save Rudy and Donny, all the major players in these crimes are loving off to Europe. I can't decide whether they think they're going to ride things out where they can't be extradited, or they have some sort of half-assed plan to present "evidence of Hillary's crimes" thing they hope to do.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't he trying to offer her concessions on gun background checks in exchange for dropping the impeachment talk? And the next day Wayne LaPierre called Trump into his office?

Haven't heard that bit, but Art of the deal, baby:

"Shortly after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced a formal impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump on Tuesday, Trump reached out to her to negotiate, according to NBC News.

Trump told the California Democrat he'd like to "figure this out," NBC News' Heidi Przybyla reported. He reportedly said, "Hey, can we do something about this whistleblower complaint, can we work something out?"

Pelosi apparently swatted him down with a curt response: "Tell your people to obey the law.""

So I've been trying to digest the last ~300 posts' worth of new revelations, and there's all these new contacts between Barr/Trump and various world leaders. But they're not about Biden, they're about ... the 2016 election? Like... what's he trying to get them to help with? Clearly not to get to the bottom of the alleged Russian election hacking, right? If Trump were sane he would be considering that whole episode over and done with now that the Mueller Report didn't amount to anything, so he would and by all rights should be doing everything in his power to direct attention away from the 2016 election. But because he's Trump he, what ... wants the whole world to help out in proving that the Deep State was out to get him all along and the real Russian Collusion was the Democrats trying to fix the election against him? That's what all these countries are (telling him they're) lining up to help with?

Like, this all sounds utterly stupid and right in line with the reasoning of the Trump Dimension but it doesn't seem like part of the same "impeachable offenses" topic that's at hand.

Don't forget that Trump can not let any slight against him go, ever. He will remember and hold a grudge for eternity.
Remember the story about the journo who made fun of Trumps little hands once and for years kept receiving pictures from Trump with his hands highlighted to show how big they were? Well, this is Trump doing the same thing about Mueller. Looking for 'proof' that vindicates his version of events.

I'm catching up, what the hell do Australia and Italy have to do with the 2016 election?

Apparently, based on NYT/WaPost sources:

- Joseph Mifsud, a Maltese "academic", tells George Papadopoulos about the Russians having dirt on Hillary Clinton.
- Papadopoulous tells a high-level Australian government employee about that fact.
- The Australians report it to the FBI who purportedly based on this fact, start the investigation into the Trump campaign's collusion with Russia.
- Joseph Mifsud "disappears" in Rome and isn't heard from by that name after 2017. No one knows for sure where he is but he was reported to be living in Rome, where he was a visiting professor, under a different identity.

This is how they'll attack impeachment, they will deflect with an investigation meant to implicate Obama's administration in planting the allegations of Russian hacking/documents through Mifsud and triggering the whole Russia investigation. Barr is taking this thing seriously given how he's on record asking Trump to introduce him to the Italians and Australians, and the fact that he spent all of last week in Italy in the middle of this Ukraine crisis.

I still can't get over the fact that the administration brain trust threw together an obviously cherry picked summary of a call they went out of their way to bury as far from the light of day as possible, and the summary was basically a cheap mob movie shakedown.

I'm loving the ridiculous fiction that the Attorney General of the United States of America needs to be personally introduced to world leaders by the President in order for them to respond to document requests.


Barr just knows that he's going to be asking the type of insane questions that would cause any sane person to throw him out of their office. So he needs the various governmental agencies of his study abroad trip to fully understand that America really is that crazy.

Quick summary about Downer.

He's a member of one of Australia's political dynasties and had a disastrous stint as leader of the Liberal Party during the 1990s. After that he was Foreign Minister in Howard's government and was one of the people who pushed for Australian involvement in the invasion of Iraq. When the Libs got back in government under Abbott they gave him UK High Commissioner because that's the kind of job you give to senior ex-party members (see also Joe Hockey, the US ambassador who sent the letter).

Ir's really funny to see him involved like this because he while he's a massive fuckwit in general he was actually doing what he thought was in the best interests of both Australia and America at the time.
