colloquialism, you were blabbing to other third parties about what you knew, including a greek foreign office minister and also, as it turns out, the australianted diplomat called alexander downer, a former australian foreign minister, who then wrote a report to his own government in which he actually, at one point, made comment and referred to what you told him, about having knowledge of russian dirt on the democrats and hillary clinton, which is why it then got back to the fbi. it seems very odd that you would be blabbing to all these other people are not telling your own campaign. ok, let's go back to alexander downer for a moment. first of all, alexander downer himself has contested what was actually set at this meeting, which is very bizarre. i have absolutely no recollection whatsoever of ever discussing this information with alexander downer, i said the same exact thing to the fbi and to bob mueller about a year before that report came out in the new york times, so let's make one point there. secondly, congress has never received official intelligence from the australian government — this is the house intelligence committee — of alexan
