Oh yeah. The Italian Prime Minister today shot that all down.

Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte of Italy said his country’s intelligence services had informed the American attorney general, William P. Barr, that they played no role in the events leading to the Russia investigation, taking the air out of an unsubstantiated theory promoted by President Trump and his allies in recent weeks....

...Mr. Barr and the Italian general met again on Sept. 27 and were joined by two other senior Italian agents, the heads of internal and external intelligence, Mr. Conte said. “The meeting clarified, after this was verified, that our intelligence is unrelated to the affair.”

“This extraneousness has been acknowledged,” he said, apparently referring to an acknowledgment by the Trump administration.

Mr. Barr also asked Italian authorities to “verify the operations of American agents,” Mr. Conte said. “That is, his question was to verify what the American intelligence did.”

Fox News had a very different take on this when they reported the story this afternoon. Catherine Herridge said her DOJ sources were hinting at a big announcement by the Italians and that whatever Barr and Durham discovered in Italy is likely to be the reason why they have expanded the investigation so much

Yeah, skimmed her reporting today and yesterday and all it did was confirm that the Italian PM said he had met with Barr in August and September. I think the “OMG SOMETHING BIG IS COMING” is Fox spin.

“Justice Department officials have shifted an administrative review of the Russia investigation closely overseen by Attorney General William P. Barr to a criminal inquiry, according to two people familiar with the matter. The move gives the prosecutor running it, John H. Durham, the power to subpoena for witness testimony and documents, to impanel a grand jury and to file criminal charges.

The opening of a criminal investigation is likely to raise alarms that Mr. Trump is using the Justice Department to go after his perceived enemies. Mr. Trump fired James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director under whose watch agents opened the Russia inquiry, and has long assailed other top former law enforcement and intelligence officials as partisans who sought to block his election.”

Interesting timing. Italy today is disavowing Mifsud and Barr. They want nothing to do with this nonsense.

Other reporting contradicts this.

Attorney General William Barr reportedly listened to an audio recording of the mysterious professor at the center of the special counsel’s probe during a surprise trip last week to Italy.

Barr met with Italian intelligence officials during the trip, The Daily Beast reported citing Italian officials, and John Durham accompanied him. Durham is a federal prosecutor who is leading an inquiry into FBI and CIA intelligence-gathering activities related to the Trump campaign.

A source in Italy’s Ministry of Justice said that Italian officials played a tape for Barr and Durham, according to The Daily Beast. Another source said the Italians showed the U.S. officials other evidence related to Joseph Mifsud, who was once a Maltese diplomat and has held university positions in the U.K. and Italy. (RELATED: Here Is The Most Recent Known Photo Of Joseph Mifsud)

The tape was a deposition that Mifsud gave after applying for police protection explaining why he might be in harm’s way, according to The Beast. The report said Italian Ministry of Justice records show that Mifsud applied for police protection

Seems that Barr and Durham got the information they needed.

Barr wanted Italy to tell him that the CIA tricked the FBI into investigating Trump. To corroborate Papadapalous's conspiracy theory.

Italy didn't. They said No.

Attorneys do not recuse themselves from "issues."
This is a desperate attempt by NY City Bar.

They manufactured it? I see. Very interesting. Thanks for the tip.

And now, they are announcing criminal prosecution for the Russia investigation. More manufactured BS to chill our law enforcement apparatus.
