04 October 2019The Lega attacks Giuseppe Conte on the story of the meeting between US Justice Secretary, William Barr, and Italian intelligence chiefs on Russiagate. The prime minister said he was willing to report to Copasir before expressing himself publicly on the matter. "Institutional fairness". In any case - according to Palazzo Chigi sources - there is no concern on the part of Conte with respect to the Barr-intelligence affair.

"The premier - explain the same sources - does not appear to be any anomalous behavior on the part of the leaders of our services". But the Via Bellerio party attacks with its head down. And questions are raised about what can be hidden behind that Donald Trump tweet in August, when the endorsement of the American president came to the prime minister. It is a controversy destined to be fueled by accusations, rumors and conjectures whose findings will be verified precisely by the Copasir which could meet already Wednesday.

Salvini to Conte: "If you have a clear conscience, come to Parliament"
Matteo Salvini returns to attack Giuseppe Conte. After presenting a parliamentary question in the Senate to shed light on the "past" and the "university career" of the prime minister, the "Captain" raises the bar by taking inspiration from the Barr case, perhaps to counter the accusations made against him (also from Conte) on Russiagate: '' Other than non-existent scandals or rubles coming from Moscow ... A prime minister worthy of the name should come next week to report to Parliament on a puzzling fact: or private use and staff of the secret services ". Which" would have been used, precisely, to meet ministers of foreign countries on particularly important dossiers ".

New York Times: Barr in Rome to gather information on Mueller's investigation
But let's rewind the tape. According to rumors reported in recent days by the New York Times, it would appear that Donald Trump sent Justice Minister William Barr to Rome to gather information on the investigation of super prosecutor Robert Mueller on Russiagate. On Friday, September 27, Barr would meet "Italian government officials", writes the New York newspaper. It is not yet clear whether the American minister has spoken of the 2016 elections. Also from journalistic indiscretions, Barr would have asked for information on Joseph Mifsud, an academic from Malta who also taught at the Link Campus University in Rome. Mifsud, during the election campaign that led to the election of Trump, had approached one of the tycoon staff, promising compromising information on rival Hillary Clinton, who was defeated at the polls. Meanwhile, Professor Mifsud has lost track of himself. Not only. Before disappearing, he would ask the Italian police for protection because he didn't feel safe.

The White House hypothesis of a trap in Trump
Just this offer of "dirty" material, to discredit Clinton through information that would have been obtained through channels leading to Moscow, gave birth to the Russiagate. Trump risked ending up convicted. But on the Russian affair an independent investigation, led by Robert Mueller, has not revealed certain elements against the president. The White House, however, started a 'witch hunt' to find out who would give birth to the Russiagate and why. Mifsud is one of the most sought after: the suspect is that he offered information to Trump's team to "frame" the Republican candidate.

"Pressures on Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison"
Pressures - according to the New York Times - in addition to Italy would also have been made on Australia, on Prime Minister Scott Morrison to discredit the work of Mueller, who for over a year investigated the possible collaboration between Trump's electoral committee and the Kremlin to damage Hillary Clinton's candidacy.
