Clovis has the Iowa GOP connection, and in the main, if Iowa ‘Pubs aren’t incompetent, they are corrupt. Sure, less corrupt than Democrat counterparts, but that is setting the bar pretty low.
Someday, Oliver Stone will make a movie about all this... Just like he did for JFK & LBJ.
I knew Halper was the guy early on. Halper is just a skin eruption on the cancer below...the people who put him in place need to swing.
Good insight. Makes a lot of sense. But when posting, I think you should put your comments in the “Body of Comment” box rather than the “Body of Thread” box, otherwise it looks like the Daily Caller author’s insight rather than yours (despite the font difference).
Read the entire article at Daily Caller to understand just how the spying was carried out. It is easy to understand and very frightening that our FBI/DOJ would do something like this. They never dreamed that Trump would win.
“Page and Halper first met at an election-themed symposium held at Cambridge on July 11 and 12, 2016, several days after Page’s now-infamous speech at the New Economic School in Moscow.
Halper approached Page on the sidelines of the event, and the pair struck up what Page thought to be a friendship...
...
Page noted that in their first conversation at Cambridge, Halper said he was longtime friends with then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort. A person close to Manafort told TheDCNF that Manafort has not seen Halper since the Gerald Ford administration...”

The Spy Who Loved Me lol
Halper is very good at what he does/did. Made initial contact, befrinded him, name dropped another target, lied about friendship with Mannafort, yup, he’s good.
This is BEFORE the pappadop drunken aussie dude convo used as “The Excuse” to launch the counterintel op. Lieng liars, all.
Brennan sent his spy out and he did good. It probably got launched in late April. Takes time to plan, get it all set up.
And the IG CAN’T investigate Brennan, nor the State Department, Kerry, Clapper, Hillary, or Obama.
If there is a real investigation into this by the Justice Dept IG, there is a jurisdictional problem. Was Halper working initially for the CIA or the FBI? DoJ’s IG has no authority over CIA. The investigation Trump is calling for requires broad authority to look at CIA, the Obama White House, etc.
I suspect that Halper was drawn into this without actually being told he was part of an “echo” operation. (I.e., he might have been under the impression he was helping ferret out REAL Russian spies/helping fools, rather than participating in a coup.) That doesn’t mean he didn’t figure it out or know from other sources. Halper doesn’t seem like the type who would risk his lucrative career getting caught in something this ugly. My hope is that he was lied to and used, and is angry enough to spill some beans to investigators.
