Alexander Downer Lied About How Information Was Passed to the FBI
It appeared foreigners were spying on the Trump campaign on behalf of the Obama administration but they deny it. There is new information out this past week that proves Downer lied.
In March, Downer, who was the Australian Ambassador to the UK at the time,passed the information on from George Papadopoulos to the US embassy in London. Papodopoulos told Downer the Russians had material on Hillary that would be damaging. Some people described it as ‘dirt’, but Downer denied that.
Downer said, “He [Papdopoulos] didn’t say dirt; he said material that could be damaging to her. No, he said it would be damaging. He didn’t say what it was.”
That turns out to not be true
In an interview with The Australian in April, Downer said within 48 hours of the meeting with Papadopoulos he sent an official cable to Canberra [Australian Ambassador to the U.S. Joe Hockey] about the encounter.
It is alleged that the information was passed on to the FBI in late July by Hockey which prompted the opening of the Russia-Trump probe July 31, 2016 [Crossfie Hurricane].
However the Wall Street Journal alleges the information found its way to the FBI through Downer and not Australia’s ambassador to the U.S. Joe Hockey.
The probe allegedly began with a document that contained NO foreign intelligence, according to the Wall Street Journal report. It is highly unusual to start a probe based on...
London ‘bridges’ falling down: Curious origins of FBI’s Trump-Russia probe
It originated earlier, 1,700 miles away in London, where foreign figures contacted Trump campaign advisers and provided the FBI with hearsay allegations of Trump-Russia collusion, bureau documents and interviews of government insiders reveal. These contacts in spring 2016 — some from trusted intelligence sources, others from Hillary Clinton supporters — occurred well before FBI headquarters authorized an official counterintelligence investigation on July 31, 2016.
The new timeline makes one wonder: Did the FBI follow its rules governing informants?
Here’s what a congressman and an intelligence expert think.
“The revelation of purposeful contact initiated by alleged confidential human sources prior to any FBI investigation is troublesome,” Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), an ally of President Trump and chairman of a House subcommittee that’s taking an increasingly aggressive oversight role in the scandal, told me. “This new information begs the questions: Who were the informants working for, who were they reporting to and why has the [Department of Justice] and FBI gone to such great lengths to hide these contacts?”
Kevin Brock agrees that Congress has legitimate questions. The retired FBI assistant director for intelligence supervised the rewriting of bureau rules governing sources, under then-director Robert Mueller a decade ago. Those rules forbid the FBI from directing a human source to target an American until a formally predicated investigative file is opened.
Brock sees oddities in how the Russia case began. “These types of investigations aren’t normally run by assistant directors and deputy directors at headquarters,” he told me. “All that happens normally in a field office, but that isn’t the case here and so it becomes a red flag. Congress would have legitimate oversight interests in the conditions and timing of the targeting of a confidential human source against a U.S. person.”
Other congressional and law enforcement sources express similar concerns, heightened by FBI communications suggesting political pressures around the time the probe officially opened.
“We’re not going to withstand the pressure soon,” FBI lawyer Lisa Page texted fellow agent Peter Strzok on Aug. 3, 2016, days after Strzok opened the official probe and returned from a trip to London. At the time, they were dealing with simultaneous challenges: the wrap-up of the Hillary Clinton email scandal and the start of the Russia-Trump probe.
Over several days, they exchanged texts that appear to express fears of political meddling or leaking by the Obama White House, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the CIA.
“This is MUCH more tasty for one of those DOJ aholes to leak,” Strzok wrote as the two FBI colleagues — then having an affair, the bureau later told Congress — debated how long they could delay a CIA-FBI meeting so as to “not play into the agency’s BS game.”
They voiced alarm when an FBI colleague — “Liz” — suggested the Obama White House was about to hijack the investigation. “Went well, best we could have....

MS-13’S BODY COUNT RISING: ANOTHER MURDER VICTIM FOUND ON LONG ISLAND
After the body of a male was recovered from the Roosevelt nature reserve on Wednesday, officials visited family members to obtain DNA samples to establish his identity.
One of those visited, a woman, speaking anonymously to NBC New York, said the police told her they believe it is the body of her younger brother, Josue Amaya, a 17-year-old Roosevelt high student, who vanished in 2016.
‘I’m completely destroyed. I have an enormous heartache. And all I want is justice,’ she said.
The discovery adds to MS-13’s growing body count on Long Island, with at least 25 killings now attributed to the Salvadoran gang in the vicinity over the last two years.
It comes days after Donald Trump called on the Congress to ‘finally close deadly loopholes that have allowed MS-13 to break into our country’.
Homeland Security Investigations agents and Nassau County Police swooped on the reserve in Roosevelt, after receiving a tip-off.
At a news conference, police said a suspect arrested in connection to a different case, the murder of another Long Island teenager last year, told them...
