Can't say I love Bill Barr making an unannounced trip to Rome, during which trip no one knows who he's meeting with (but doesn't appear to be meeting with anyone you'd expect), at a time when one of the top two suspects in the Trump-Russia scandal (on the Russian side) is in Rome

(16,079 posts)It appears that the Director of the FBI, use to work for a law firm that represents Rosneft and Gazprom, two of Russias largest state-controlled oil companies.
Rosneft was prominently mentioned in the now infamous 35-page dossier prepared by former British MI6 agent Christopher Steele.
Now we know why Trump went with Wray!!!

(781 posts)on this trip to justify trump, rudy and right-wing conspiracy theories that the Mueller investigation was bogus. Remember this?:
"Moreover, Trump says, it's now time for the pendulum to swing and for Barr to investigate the "crimes" the president said this week were committed by "the other side."

(71 posts)I cant find any reporting on the amazing coincidence of oligarch Rybolovlev in Rome at the same time Barr has made a sudden unexplained appearance there. Hope they are investigating.

(54,408 posts)Maybe he figures it'll get him some lenience later on, when St. Peter tells him his chances of going to hell are better than those of a Republican in a race where the only vote counting is done by Diebold machines programmed by his campaign manager the night before the election.
