DOJ Claims Trump Contacted Foreign Countries to ask Them to Assist Barr

US Department of Justice

The Department of Justice has issued a statement claiming that President Trump’s contact with foreign countries was to assure that there would be cooperation with Attorney General Barr as he looked into the origins of the Russia investigation.

According to The Hill:

The Department of Justice (DOJ) said Monday that President Trump contacted foreign countries at Attorney General William Barr’s request to ask them for assistance in an ongoing investigation into the origins of the Russian interference probe.

“As the Department of Justice has previously announced, a team led by U.S. Attorney John Durham is investigating the origins of the U.S. counterintelligence probe of the Trump 2016 presidential campaign. Mr. Durham is gathering information from numerous sources, including a number of foreign countries,” Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said in a statement.

“At Attorney General Barr’s request, the President has contacted other countries to ask them to introduce the Attorney General and Mr. Durham to appropriate officials,” Kupec added.

The Justice Department statement quickly followed reports that Trump had asked Australia’s prime minister during a recent phone call to assist Barr in gathering information for the Russia inquiry and that Barr had held meetings overseas in Italy seeking the country’s help. Barr has also reportedly requested assistance from British intelligence officials in connection with the inquiry.

Democrats have tried to frame this investigation as politically motivated while Barr and Trump are trying to point to a good faith effort to expose government corruption and bias.

Now when the Presidents lap dog is doing Trump’s wishes barking up a empty tree to try to get a beast that is not there out. Now when the same President holds military aide to any country which the US intelligence community says has done nothing, to cause the with holding of the aide money already approved by congress months earlier to get the President of that country to concoct something up about a political rival. With the latest approval polls of Trump I think those Americans you are speaking of have already made up their minds, 37% lowest in his Presidency and that is a 12% drop in about a month.

Better check facts….Trumps’s approval Real Clear Politics average rating is 43% , Gallup Poll latest rating is 43%, and Rasmussen has him at 49% total approval. Quit posting old facts that came only from CNBC. We will see what America thinks Nov. 2020 when Democrats lose even worse than they did with Hillary Clinton.

. . . .and I trust the ‘approval polls’ about as much as I did when Clinton lost the election – no trust at all – the old windbag thought she would win on being a female and had nothing to off – middle America saw right through her!

President Trump is doing his job! The people of the US need to know if there was in fact an attempted Coup by the previous administration. If those countries worked with Brennan, Clapper and Comey we should know that. It is clear that there was No Russian collusion but it is also clear that Comey started the FISA process before President Trump was elected and then 3 more times after he was elected. Let Durham and Barr do their jobs. America needs to know so this can not happen again to ANY other President.
Dirty trick are one thing but this is Treason!

Hopefully, this Bill Barr and Durham investigation will result in prison cells being filled and the overflow can by handled at Guantanamo!

As the nation’s top cop that’s precisely what he has sworn to do (and in Donald’s case what he promised America he was going to do). Telling your top lawyer to seek out all who may have violated federal law is one of his jobs. Maybe some day the American public is going to find out just how corrupt the swamp really is and help Donald run the entire mob out of town. Soldier/Cop/Grunt, Retired

Why not! We all no the DOJ cannot be trusted and we all know the DOJ won’t do their jobs. The entire top floor of the DOJ should be fired.

One can only hope that all goes well and those that are trying to bring the govt down aren’t at all successful!
My hope is that Biden doesn’t get to be Pres as it’s the worst possible choice for the country to have to cope with!
