Barr Went to Rome to Hear a Secret Tape from Joseph Mifsud, the Professor Who Helped Ignite the Russia Probe

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 Barrs sudden arrival. He had been in Italy before, but not with such a clear motive. Barr and Durham are looking into the events that led to Robert Muellers 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 Trumps campaign aide George Papadopoulos he could deliver Russian dirt on Hillary Clinton. The Italian Justice Ministry public records show that Mifsud had applied for police protection in Italy 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.

(5,669 posts)Are they there to bury this kind of evidence? Or are they trying to do a hit job on Popadopoulos?

(53,345 posts)Follow conspiratorial leads that the mueller investigation was a fraud
IOW, what is really true they want to claim is false and vice versa

(5,669 posts)Because he said he had dirt on Hillary, they went to hear what he had to say. These people are pathetic.

(3,268 posts)...without acknowledging that a sting operation never entraps the innocent-but if they want to make this a case for entrapment they should be aware the evidentiary bar is much higher than smoke and innuendo.
