You mean "oranges", right?

The discussion was another instance of the president using American diplomacy for potential personal gain.

WASHINGTON — President Trump pushed the Australian prime minister during a recent telephone call to help Attorney General William P. Barr gather information for a Justice Department inquiry that Mr. Trump hopes will discredit the Mueller investigation, according to two American officials with knowledge of the call.

The White House restricted access to the call’s transcript to a small group of the president’s aides, one of the officials said, an unusual decision that is similar to the handling of a July call with the Ukrainian president that is at the heart of House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry into Mr. Trump. Like that call, the discussion with Prime Minister Scott Morrison of Australia shows the extent to which Mr. Trump sees the attorney general as a critical partner in his goal to show that the Mueller investigation had corrupt and partisan origins, and the extent that Mr. Trump sees the Justice Department inquiry as a potential way to gain leverage over America’s closest allies.

And like the call with the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, the discussion with Mr. Morrison shows the president using high-level diplomacy to advance his personal political interests.

More bad news for Trump - and Barr. I am so thankful for our great free press. Why does Trump keep reaching out to foreign governments for personal political gain?

I wonder what he offered to give in return?

Lol
Investigating what happened in 2016 is ensuring the fair and impartial execution of United States' law. That is EXACTLY what the President is SUPPOSED to do, idiot NYT writers!


This is a nothing burger, but it is being served up as the latest in a series of “fake news scandals” that is encouraging those not paying attention to the details to develop TDS.

Biden Camp Asks Networks to Ban Rudy from TV
Sep 30, 2019

RUSH: Now, Rudy Giuliani’s been on TV more than he’s not been on TV the last couple, three days. “Joe Biden’s presidential campaign made an extraordinary request to executives of top news channels on Sunday, asking them to no longer book … Rudy Giuliani on their programs. In a letter addressed to the heads of the major news and cable networks, as well as top news anchors, two top Biden campaign advisers make the case that by peddling routine falsehoods about the work of Biden and his son Hunter in Ukraine, Giuliani’s presence on the airwaves is editorially untenable.”

This is just Democrat Desperation, Injun! It’s not a secret that AG Barr is investing the predicate for the witch hunt.

So they asked the networks to something, it is not like they have to listen.

were you upset when Trump said he was going to have to find a new news agency since FoxNews was not doing a good enough job of carry his water?

The NY Times source: "two American officials with knowledge of the call". Most of us watched enough courtroom dramas to know that 1. the "officials" are anonymous and the term "official" could be anything from the janitor on up. The second thing is the best part. The Times doesn't say the "officials" overheard the conversation or even read transcripts but merely had "knowledge of the call". That's pretty slim stuff to try to indict the President. Hasn't the Times been embarrassed enough in the past with this breathless rush to judgement stuff? They might as well be agents of the Russians.

Another blockbuster development: In a new revelation underscoring Attorney General William Barr's key role in Donald Trump's efforts to use his government office to pressure foreign governments into assisting his own campaign needs, The New York Times is reporting that Trump asked Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison to help Barr "gather information for a Justice Department inquiry that Mr. Trump hopes will discredit the Mueller investigation."

A key detail: The Times reports that it was Barr who asked Trump to make the request of the Australian leader—evidence that Barr was himself active in a Department of Justice effort to "discredit" the Mueller probe.

Trump asked Australian leader for help discrediting Mueller probe—at Attorney General Barr's request

The AG is in deep doggy doo.
