Asking Australia For Help In Investigating Russia Collusion Hoax Is Now Illegal, Say People Who Used Official US Spy Officials to Ask Australia for Help Concocting the Russia Collusion Hoax

But we asked Australia for help framing George Papadopolous for the most patriotic of reasons -- we wanted a Democrat to win the election!!!

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.

I've been out most of the day. Ten days ago I took a fall off a bike and got a little hurt. No big deal, but ten days later, my foot and wrist are still hurting and I really think it should not be hurting any longer if this were just some soft-tissue damage. A nurse practitioner confirmed this intuition and I got x-rays.

Not a big deal, just wanted to mention why I've been out all day.

I think maybe I have some kind of hairline fracture. It can't be a real break, or I would've known it. But there's some injury that's still lingering.
