The announcement this week by Attorney General Barr that he does not expect there will be an investigation, "at this time", into the role played in the attacks on the Trump campaign and presidency by former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Joe Biden, has added another layer of intrigue to the already explosive developments around Russiagate.  Barr's comments came as new evidence has been pouring out, which proves that it is justified to charge that there were multiple violations of law behind the coup attempt against President Donald Trump, and that officials at the highest levels of the Obama administration were informed of these activities, if not directly involved.  Trump himself began referring to the ongoing investigation as "Obamagate."

In reviewing the excruciating pressure imposed on U.S. President Donald Trump to drop his efforts to achieve a collaborative relationship with China's President Xi Jinping, it is useful to review the strategy outlined by former United Kingdom Ambassador to Washington, Sir Kim Darroch, to manipulate him to adopt British policy initiatives.  The Daily Mail published on July 6, 2019 leaked diplomatic cables sent by Darroch to Britain's National Security Adviser Sir Mark Sedwill, discussing how to maintain what he described as "our single most important bilateral relationship", with Trump as President, given the importance of "defence and intelligence cooperation." 

The disclosure of documents, which had been hidden by the FBI, regarding their tactics in framing up President Trump's first National Security Advisor, General Michael Flynn, demonstrates a clear pattern of illegal activity by high-level operatives, who zealously engaged in what is rightfully described as a coup plot against the President.  The documents were disclosed in the last days by the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri, Jeffrey Jenson, who had been tasked by Attorney General William Barr to review whether the FBI or Justice Department (DOJ) had withheld exculpatory evidence in the Flynn case.  According to Flynn's lead attorney, Sidney Powell, these documents demonstrate a plan to frame up Flynn, run by FBI Director Jim Comey and his leading subordinates, including Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and agents Bill Priestap, Peter Strzok, Joe Pientka and Lisa Page, among others. 

As saner voices around the world are calling for solidarity and cooperation among nations in dealing with the parallel and interrelated crises of the Coronavirus pandemic and the collapse of the debt-ridden, speculation-driven financial system, an unhinged gaggle of war hawks is waging an aggressive propaganda campaign to demonize China, calling for coordinated action against it.  "We are at war with China", they shout, and "they are winning."  They claim, with no evidence to back them, that China not only covered up the outbreak of the Coronavirus there, but may have created it in a bio-weapons lab in Wuhan, and may have even deliberately exported it to the rest of the world!  Further, they assert that China is engaged in a massive military buildup to extend its global power, while using the economic muscle of the Belt-and-Road Initiative (BRI) to cunningly manipulate desperate nations, with promises of economic aid.
