https://www.rawstory.com/2019/11/australian-diplomat-tells-bill-barrs-anti-russia-prosecutor-he-wasnt-part-of-any-secret-plot-against-trump/As the impeachment proceedings continue into President Donald Trump, Attorney General William Barr is hard at work on trying to discredit the Russia investigation and potentially prosecute federal officials involved in it, as U.S. Attorney John Durham helps him conduct a criminal probe into how the FBI began looking at the Trump campaign.
But if Barr is hoping that this investigation helps his boss, he may be in for a disappointment. According to the conservative Washington Examiner, Durham recently interviewed the former Australian diplomat whose warnings to U.S. officials triggered the Russia investigation, and his response did not support the GOP narrative.
Alexander Downer, who was Australias high commissioner to the United Kingdom up until last year, met with Durhams team last month in London and is said to have told investigators he was not part of a conspiratorial plot to undermine Trump, according to the Australian, wrote Daniel Chaitin and Jerry Dunleavy for the Examiner.
Trump and his allies have long accused the Russia investigation of having been a hatchet job set up by Obama administration officials as part of a so-called deep state plot to prevent him from becoming president. To date, no evidence has emerged of this.
Watch out John Durham and Billy Barr. Trump hates losers.

(2,050 posts)1. I think we all know there's no "There" there
But with all the time and our money they've spent on this witch hunt low barr will fabricate something to run on
After all, all these people have done is lied through their teeth every waking moment so it's not a stretch that things will be twisted around their narrative
The phrase " Witch Hunt" can be used by us also, that's going to be my answer if asked
Turn the tables on them and use their words against them
Low barr's report is going to be fiction anyway
