This is how Trump operates. He installed his own willing soldiers into key positions, and the rest he relied on private conduits.

Wait a minute, he was "let go" from working as an adviser to Trump because he couldn't get a security clearance. But he can travel with the Secretary of State to Europe?


This makes three shadow flunkies with no security clearance and no defined title or job — Giuliani, Gorka, and Jared. They’re the ones whose movements and communications are going to be vital to trace.

8. Nazi and confirmed white supremacist Sebastian Gorka traveled with Pompeo to Europe?

For what reason? Oh that's right, after the optics of Sebastian's white supremacist ways detracted, tRump dumped him then immediately hired his wife for customs and border protection, because she's naturally the best person for that position and would be the perfect back channel to keep him in the loop.

But why take Sebastian on a State Department junket? Are they soliciting ways to scrub the NSC server with experts from around the world? Are they trying to pull together old Hillary emails to attack her before 2020? What's going on with these people using my tax dollars!!

11. "Pompeo's trip will take him to Italy, Vatican City, Montenegro, North Macedonia,

and Greece, according to the Italian embassy’s website. The trip does not appear to include Hungary, where Gorka is a wanted man, which is a bummer."

Actually, that they might be seeking assistance from far-RW, fascistic regimes was my first thought.

"CNA, a Singapore-based news outlet reported on Friday that Pompeo would “seek to counter Russian influence” during his visit to Montenegro and North Macedonia. A senior US official at the UN in New York last week told ANSA that during visits to both of those countries, they “will talk about Russian efforts to sow discord there.”

“It’s up to these sovereign and independent states and their people to make their decisions on the direction they want to go, and their decision to pursue NATO membership, I think, has been important for them,” the official said."

The AG isn't SoS. Whatever he's up to is on Trump's business. And Trump's in trouble at home and looking for help. And Barr's taking Trump's man with extensive neo-Nazi/fascist connections on secret business to SE Europe/Balkans.

No kidding, "What's going on with these people using my tax dollars!!"
