Barr Disputes Major Horowitz Finding Based On Durham, CIA Evidence<\/h1>\n

ZeroHedge.com<\/p>\n

Attorney General William Barr will dispute a fundamental finding in the upcoming Inspector General report – namely that the FBI was justified in launching an operation Crossfire Hurricane, the agency’s official covert counterintelligence investigation into links between the Trump campaign and Russian officials, according to the\u00a0Washington Post<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

While IG Michael Horowitz is said to have concluded that the agency had enough information to launch the probe on July 31, 2016 after Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos repeated a rumor that Russia had dirt on Hillary Clinton, Barr has reportedly told associates that\u00a0Horowitz does not know about – or did not include – potentially exculpatory evidence held by other US agencies such as the CIA, which could alter his report’s conclusion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In July,\u00a0Fox News<\/em><\/a>\u00a0reported that\u00a0exculpatory evidence\u00a0<\/strong>existed which the FBI failed to include in surveillance warrant applications in which\u00a0Papadopoulos denies having any contact with the Russians<\/strong>, when he was in fact told about the ‘Clinton dirt’ byJoseph Mifsud, a mysterious Maltese professor (and\u00a0self-professed member of the Clinton foundation<\/a>) who has ties to George Soros’\u00a0Open Society Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/a><\/p>\n

Many believe Papadopoulos was the victim of an\u00a0entrapment scheme<\/strong>, by which Mifsud would seed him with information that Australian diplomat would later extract from him in a London bar, which made its way to the FBI – officially leading to the launch of Operation Crossfire Hurricane.<\/p>\n

And the\u00a0exculpatory evidence?<\/strong>\u00a0Downer – a Clinton ally – likely recorded Papadopoulos saying he had no Russian contacts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Have been contacted by about a dozen Australian journalists for comment on Clinton errand boy, Alexander Downer, and him being idiotic enough to spy on me with his phone. The transcript of my meeting with him will show Australia was willfully trying to sabotage Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
