A letter emerged late on Monday from the Australian government that directly disputed the accuracy of a New York Times report that claimed that President Donald Trump pushed Australia to help Attorney General William Barr investigate the origins of Special Counsel Robert Muellers Russia investigation in an attempt to discredit the investigation in what The Times claimed was an example of Trump using high-level diplomacy to advance his personal political interests.
The letter, reported by Nine News Australias Kerrie Yaxley, is dated May 28, 2019, from Australian Ambassador Joe Hockey to Barr, and states: Dear Attorney General,
I refer to President Trumps announcement on 24 May that you will investigate the origins of the Federal Bureau of Investigations probe into Russian links to the 2016 US election.
I note that the President referred to Australia, the United Kingdom and the Ukraine as potential stakeholders. Moreover, I note that he has declassified intelligence material to support your investigation.
The Australian Government will use its best endeavors to support your efforts in this matter. While Australias former High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, The Hon. Alexander Downer, is no longer employed by the government, we stand ready to provide you with all the relevant information to support your inquiries.
The Acting White House Chief of Staff, The Honorable Michael Mulvaney, has been copied on this letter.
Yours sincerely,
The Hon Joe Hockey

I am just amazed at the amount of sheer “newz noize” being spewed out. I imagine you know what I mean. Just over the past 2-3 days. It’s gone up another quantum of bulls**t.
We used to have, say Chris Cuomo commenting on Rudy. Or Alec Baldwin commenting on Ivanka.
Now we have Brian Stelter commenting on Joy Reid commenting on Mike Pompeo. We have added another dimension to the sheer s**tstorm of stupid news being thrown at us.
It’s Goebbels on steroids. The media’s task is to repeat the “impeach” word at least 1,000 times a day. It doesn’t matter context, date, time, who said, why, or how.
Yep. He built his business off conservatives but he is long past leaning conservative.
I’ve switched to Breitbart.
Drudge has shown his true colors for some time now.
They’re scared sh!tless, so they have to borrow some from a bull to fling around.
I agree. Maybe more than slightly.
There is a lot of smoke on the battlefield so it’s hard to be sure.
The big battle is yet to come IMO. Much bigger.
Thanks. I am going to give Breitbart at try. The format is a little different and may take a little getting used to but I am sick of Drudge.
I like Brannon. I really liked Andrew Breitbart.
You need to give Liberty Daily a try the format is IDENTICAL to Drudge but they are a conservative news organization!!!!
I have just added that to my home screen too. Thanks.
I like it so far. Drudge can get his clicks from someone other than me.
Alexander Downer was/is the Aussie A$$hole who helped to start the Russia/Russia bs against President Trump.
Joseph Mifsud was an asset for both the CIA and the Italian intelligence service, and his introduction to Papadopoulos happened in Rome, so the Italian intelligence service was likely looped in on that part of the operation.
The title “New York Times” casts doubt on any account published by the New York Times.
I am so HAPPY you like the site, Drudge jumped the shark he had become a never Trumper, I NEVER give anyone that is supposed to be on our side one ounce of attention when they stop backing our fairly elected POTUS!!! I dont really give a damn if you dont care for his personality he IS actually fighting for the country and what the country was founded on!!!
It is by far the best alternative Ive seen to Drudge.
Drudge is now almost as bad as the far left wing media. They dont need my clicks anymore.
Thanks again for suggesting an excellent site.
