Barr Went to Rome to Hear a Secret Tape From Joseph Mifsud
[THEDAILYBEAST] When Attorney General William Barr showed up at the U.S. embassy’s Palazzo Margherita here on tony Via Veneto last week, he had two primary requests. He needed a conference room to meet high-level Italian security agents where he could be sure no one was listening in. And he needed an extra chair for U.S. Attorney John Durham of Connecticut, who would be sitting in as his right-hand man.

Barr was in Rome on an under-the-radar mission that was only planned a few days in advance. An official with the embassy confirmed to The Daily Beast that they had to scramble to accommodate Barr’s sudden arrival. He had been in Italia before, but not with such a clear motive. Barr and Durham are looking into the events that led to Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, and suddenly all roads were leading to Rome.

The Daily Beast has learned that Barr and Durham were especially interested in what the Italian secret service knew about Joseph Mifsud, the erstwhile professor from Malta who had allegedly promised then-candidate Donald Trump

...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...

...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away...
. The Italian justice ministry’s public records show that Mifsud had applied for police protection in Italia after disappearing from Link University, where he worked and, in doing so, had given a taped deposition to explain just why people might want to harm him.

A source in the Italian Ministry of Justice, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told The Daily Beast that Barr and Durham were played the tape. A second source within the Italian government also confirmed to The Daily Beast that Barr and Durham were shown other evidence the Italians had on Mifsud.

Ever since Robert Mueller concluded his probe in March 2019, Barr has worked to blunt its impact‐and investigate the Sherlocks behind it. Barr assigned Durham to look into the Mueller probe’s origins. And the attorney general’s name is listed in the whistleblower complaint about the July 25 call Trump made to the Ukrainian president to pressure him into investigating political rival Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Failed seeker of the Democratic presidential nomination on multiple occasions, vice president under Barack Obama, giving it a last try in his dotage for 2020...
. According to the complaint, Barr was directly involved in the president’s attempt to "solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. election." The minutiae of his involvement are feeding a scandal gripping Washington that changes by the nano-second.

Link U., Home of the Whistleblowers

Maybe a mascot that looks like a cross between a Boilermaker and the Fighting Irishman, but with a CIA lanyard around his neck and an angry/determined Dilbert face + a short-sleeved white shirt & tie.

Or maybe a Brennanite scowl...

#8 The Popdopolus connection from the Mifsud meeting and his US Customs luggage inspection for the 10k gave me a clear understanding of how deep the corruption has gone. The need to ramp up the impeachment noise to crazytown levels reflects how seriously outed this conspiracy is becoming. There are some very frightened people in high places playing hardball to cover crimes.
