Since you didn't, or couldn't, answer the question, I'll do it for you. No, it was not illegal or inappropriate for Attorney General William Barr to have private meetings overseas with foreign intelligence officials, including in the U.K. and Italy, seeking their help in investigation of the current ongoing Russia investigation.

The U.S. has a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty with both Italy and the U.K. Asking for assistance in the Russia investigation if those countries have information that can be of help is not only legal and appropriate and even reasonable, but a dereliction if the assistance was not asked.

This is in no way comparable to Lorreta Lynch tarmac issue, nor at all like seeking smears, especially if not related to an ongoing criminal investigation, and it certainly was not an abuse of office.

Putin’s goals are to get out from under 2 sets of sanctions: one based on messing with our 2016 election, one on invading Ukraine. Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukraine into settling with Russia & to “prove” Russia didn’t mess with us in 2016 make sense as ways to please Putin.

To contradict and undermine the entire IC of the United States, to exonerate Russia.
This is the foreign policy they’re advancing.
Russia’s foreign policy.

Putin’s Puppet

So ironic that a supposed nationalist like Trump isn't trusting his own citizens but is actively seeking international assistance to support his failing presidency & re-election chances.

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

You keep doing this kind of chit. My post to which you responded here was:

Your reply here HAS ABSOLUTELY NO COHERENT CONNECTION TO MY POST. You do this a lot. Instead of responding to a post, you just go off on more of your obsessive conjectures about Trump bad, or Trump Putin's Puppet.

It's really not worth responding to you. You just use it as a platform to keep ranting and making unsubstantiated claims rather than maintaining a rational discussion.

This add on was not part of your original reply to my post. It is just as ignorant as that reply. He is not seeking international assistance because he doesn't trust his own citizens--HIS OWN CITIZEN, whom you mentioned as the one seeking assistance, is doing the investigation!!

Reminder: To this day, the Trump campaign can’t explain: 1) Why they had so many Russian contacts; 2) why they were glad to meet them; 3) why they never called the FBI; and 4) why they lied about it every time.

Their answer is to try to blame the FBI for ever asking about it.
