Last August, Attorney General William Barr with a small team of his staff met with the leaders of our secret services. But who gave the authorization? The only one who has the right is the Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte who is in charge of services. It is no coincidence that the Copasir - parliamentary committee that controls the activity of Italian intelligence - also wants to see clearly and intends to summon Giuseppe Conte to be heard for the clarifications of the case. Palazzo Chigi, to dilute, in a note made it known that it was just courtesy meetings.
These alleged courtesy visits would have been held twice since last August at the new headquarters of Italian services in Piazza Dante.

"I respect and take note of what is reported in the media but if I have to make things clear I will do it exclusively in the appropriate forums. On the rest, no comment ".
William Barr came to Italy with prosecutor John Durham with the clear aim of discrediting the investigation of former special prosecutor Robert Mueller who, after a year of investigating Russiagate, had closed the file with an unfavorable outcome for President Donald Trump.
The US Attorney General, during the Piazza Dante meetings, asked for the Link Campus University professor Joseph Mifsud, who is considered the medium for the dissemination of Hillary Clinton's emails, from which the Russiagate scandal was derived.
According to the services, nothing was reported about Mifsud and we invited the US representatives to ask for further information through formal channels, that is an international letter of letters.
What is now known in the media is that Joseph Mifsud is nowhere to be found since last 2017, many think he is dead, but some sources claim that he moved to Russia.
One of the crucial issues is the issue of Copasir which to date cannot convene anyone or even meet because the former president Lorenzo Guerini has become Minister of Defense. Since his replacement has not been appointed, it is not possible to carry out any activity as the parliamentary body is not legally represented and therefore in the fullness of its powers.
All this, writes Il Messaggero, while at home, at the top of US institutions, there are sparks on the Ucrainagate case. The president shouts at the attempted coup against him, and the democratic majority chamber presses, threatening to add presidential obstruction to the indictments. Democrats are in a hurry to wrap up the impeachment process. Today they will question in the chamber former special envoy for Ukraine Kurt Volker, who resigned after seeing his name in the White House mole report, associated with the aid Rudolph Giuliani allegedly received in Kiev in soliciting incriminating evidence of the damage. by Joe Biden and his son Hunter. The president of the Intelligence Commission Adam Schiff alongside the Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi announced that after Volker it will be the turn of Marie Yovanovitch, the former US ambassador to Kiev removed from office because he would not have gone along with the task assigned by Trump to Giuliani with sufficient diligence.
