October 07, 2019Lindsey Graham, president of the Senate justice commission and one of Donald Trump's closest allies, wrote a letter to Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Australian Scott Morrison asking them to continue "to cooperate with the 'attorney general William Barr' in the inquiry into the origins of Russiagate."One of the duties of the attorney general is to supervise the ongoing investigation" and his meetings in the three countries are "well within the boundaries of his normal activity," he noted.
An initiative he took, explains Graham, after the NewY ork Times accused Barr of "using high-level diplomacy to advance the president's personal political interests" in a September 30 article.
In the letter, the senator, one of Trump's closest allies, recalls that "Australia, Italy and the United Kingdom routinely exchange information from the police to provide assistance during the investigation".
"It appears that law enforcement and US intelligence have relied on foreign intelligence as part of their efforts to investigate and monitor the 2016 presidential election," the head of the Senate justice commission continues, listing three points.
The first is "to have relied on a profoundly wrong dossier, full of gossip and written by a former British secret agent" (the Steele report on the relations between Trump and the Russians, ed); the second "having received intelligence from an Italian 'professor' (Joseph Mifsud, in reality it is Maltese, ed) who was ordered to contact a low-level advisor from Trump's campaign, George Papadopoulos, to gather information on the campaign"; third, "accepting information from an Australian diplomat, who was told to also contact Papadopoulos and pass on information he received about the FBI campaign". Contacts from which the Russiagate originated.
But Trump and his allies suspect that prof. Mifsud is a Western secret agent who worked for the CIA or the FBI and that the entire maneuver was a conspiracy of the 'deep state' of the USA to prevent his election, in contrast to the conclusions of the powerful investigation by special prosecutor Robert Mueller.
