re: Article: “Heres how dumb Barr’s... Mifsud theory is”

quote:

---

a tip Papadopoulos blurted out to an Australian diplomat in an indiscretion that reached the FBI and started the ball rolling.

---

They make it sound as if Papadopoulos was volunteering the information. Downer was extracting the information.

Mifsud was the push. Mifsud told Papadapoulos about the emails.

Downer was the pull. Downer inquired about the emails (at the London wine bar).


It was a push pull operation. This is a well known FBI/CIA strategy to set people up.

Once Downer pulled the information the FBI had the information they needed to form a justification to acquire a FISA warrant.

Barr’s interest is all part of a broader effort pushed obsessively by President Donald Trump

It's more than just Trump. There is a very large contingency of Trump supporters and white hats within the federal government who want this investigated.

in an effort to prove, at least in the public mind, that he was the victim of a conspiracy in 2016 rather than the beneficiary of one.

MUH Russia has already been proven to be a hoax but the Daily Beast is still running with it. However because MUH Russia IS a hoax, we must get to the bottom of the conspiracy.

If Trump was not a victim of a conspiracy the Daily Beast has nothing to worry about but the narrative in this article sure makes them look like they are covering for the guilty.

Trump’s pressure on the recently elected government in Ukraine to promote this line features in the impeachment proceedings against him

This statement is a LIE. If you read the transcript there was/is no pressure. In fact Zelenskyy not only said there was/is no pressure he volunteered to Trump on the call to root out corruption. His path to victory in the Ukraine was an anti corruption campaign.

But Mifsud’s deep, long-standing connections with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s foreign-policy establishment and the highly favorable views he has expressed publicly about Russia’s role in global affairs show just how far Barr has barked up the wrong tree.

---

I'm sure Mifsud does have some Russian contacts.

However to this day Comney still maintains that Papadopolous met with a Russian asset. Mifsud is not a Russian asset.

Mifsud is a Maltese professor who teaches a Link Campus University in Rome.

Link Campus University is well know for courses taught to western intelligence officials. The FBI and CIA have a close relationship with Link Campus University for employment training purposes.

This is the broader connection.

Barr traveled to Rome to investigate the details of the relationship especially between Mifsud and Brennan.

Link Campus University instructs NATO intelligence personnel[2] and the US intelligence and law enforcement officials are also involved with Link.

the Daily Beast

---

Mifsud attends a confrence in DC invited by the State Department AFTER meeting with Papadizzle and the FBI maintains Mifsud is a Russian asset.

did they have to if the intel came from the other agencies?

Well, this part is somewhat complicated - if we assume a source that is less well known than Mifsud in intelligence circles, it goes like this:

Agency A works the source. Typically, only the primary source handler directly interacts with the source, although with certain sources, it might be an entire team. The only people who "know" the source's identity is that handler (or team of handlers), and at some higher level, there is a deconfliction source - i.e. someone who knows all the source identities to make sure multiple handlers aren't working the same source.

The breakdown occurs is when the same source works different agencies - the real danger there is when something like Curveball happens - there is no "international" deconfliction authority (and can't be because of the nature of the intelligence business) - one would only hope that your own CI assets figure out that he is a double/triple (or more) down the line and raises a red flag, but "hope" isn't a reliable course of action.

Now, within the U.S., I must assume some greater level of deconfliction is occurring, but with the now infamous "Gorelick" wall between the FBI and CIA, I can't even say there is a centralized source under the DNI that deconflicts these things, even today. From an "actual" practice standpoint, my experience in this area is at a very low level and now quite stale, but the basics of human intelligence changes very little over time - it is not nearly as technology driven as signals or imagery intelligence as two examples.

Now, when it is proven that Mifsud is a western intelligence asset by Barr were does the case go from here? Indictments?

---

if Mifusd is proven to be a Western asset and this op was orchestrated by Western "allies", then there is going to be some shite

effectively, Australia and/or the UK are guilty of the crimes we alleged Russia was (interfering with our elections). q

Mifsud confessed.....in taped recording!

(no message)

quote:

---

US agents likely never directly communicated with Mifsud.

---

I don't think there is any chance that "never" happened. Certainly it is possible for information to be routed ("laundered" like money) through allied nations' intelligence services, but this goes beyond an information source. This was an active asset running, essentially, a counterintelligence operation. At some point, our CI assets would have had to contact him, just to figure out his allegiances and real employers. And if we never did that, it means he was a U.S. asset.

So, one has to figure out for whom he was primarily working (and I can't see from what is reported) - which nation and which agency. The rest of the flowchart will be relatively easy to put together afterwards.

quote:

---

It is a fact these two met. It is a fact Mifsud told him about Russians and emails.

Doesn't Mifsud deny this?
