What other conversations between Donald Trump and world leaders might have been buried?

SINCE IT WAS first reported a week ago that President Donald Trump had urged his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, to investigate the family of Joe Biden, a front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, speculation has been rife about what fresh revelations might follow. After a phone conversation between the two men on July 25th, White House aides stored a record of the call in a computer system usually reserved for national-security secrets.

They may now have some idea. First, it was reported that Mr Trump’s conversations with Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, and Muhammad bin Salman, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, were stored in the system.

Mr Trump, meanwhile, continues to enjoy the support of most Republicans in Congress, even while public-opinion polls suggest a substantial increase in the share of Americans who think Mr Trump ought to be impeached. A recent poll by Reuters found an eight percentage-point increase in the share of Americans supporting impeachment in a single week—from 37% to 45%. That support comprises 74% of Democrats, 37% of independents and 13% of Republicans.

As with the Russia investigation, there seems to be just enough amiss at this point to warrant further inquiry—but not enough to threaten the support of congressional Republicans. That suggests that the protracted spectacle of impeachment will hang over Mr Trump’s re-election campaign. The issue of foreign interference in 2016 will continue to be debated, even as the worries about interference in the next election worsen.

Shit man, can’t believe this. Barr is an upstanding and totally sane dude, he’s the pinnacle of credibility. This is far from surprising lol

Really, does Barr have any remaining credibility?

Lol Dems/media want Barr out...They’re nervous as all hell. Should be

IndictBarr IndictBarr IMPEACHTRUMPNOW

“Credibility”? What? He checked that at the door when he took the job. Remember the request to Comey for a loyalty oath?

Haha.. you think that guy had any credibility to begin with?

Barr? None!

The Australians to got a quid pro quo. Relief on tariffs

It's fine, the time has come. Let's declassify all conversations US leaders made throughout American history.

All of them.........get real

Presidents ALWAYS talk to world leaders Attempted Coup News. You are not journalists in any way. Disgusting.

Ya like that time Obama had a hot mike with Medvedev regarding starting a war with General Secretary Putin

Why to limit the inquiry only to Trump ? Let's include Obama, Bush, Clinton as well.

The President has plenary power to conduct foreign policy. By nature their conversations are private and classified. They have the power and interest to conduct investigations that have national interest.

How about conversations between, Reagan, Bush Sr, Bush Jr, Clinton, Obama and world leaders?

The question is did Obama do it? If so then it is normal operating procedure.

Manner and method of closing down HillaryClinton in 2015. It simply boils down to this: Trump views the competition as war casualties. He is not a licensed G.I.Joe! He wouldn't know how to win anything fair and square.

Hillary Clinton channels 'Mean Girls' again as she says Donald Trump is 'obsessed' with herThe former presidential hopeful cheekily shared a Regina George meme in a previous dig at the president.
