FBI informant met with three Trump campaign advisers: report
The Hill ^ | 05/18/18 | Max Greenwood

A secret FBI informant who has come into the spotlight in recent days reportedly met with three advisers to President Trump's campaign during the 2016 presidential election.

The Washington Post reported Friday that in addition to meeting with Trump campaign advisers George Papadopoulos and Carter Page, the informant – described as an American academic – also met with former Trump campaign co-chair Sam Clovis.

The informant, a professor who is said to be a longtime U.S. intelligence source, met Clovis for coffee in northern Virginia in the summer of 2016, during which he offered to provide foreign policy advice to the campaign, the Post reported.

The role of the informant in the origins of the FBI investigation into possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia has given rise to claims by some GOP lawmakers and Trump allies in recent days that the Obama administration planted a "mole" within the Trump campaign to dig up dirt on the businessman and his associates.

Etc...

“during which he offered to provide foreign policy advice to the campaign, the Post reported.”

Sounds like entrapment to me.

Friday night dump on a news packed day.

Gotta love that the Post points out that he tried to become a confidant several times and with several different contacts in the Trump campaign but that he was NEVER a plant!

I predict that by the time this all comes out, it will be clear that the job of the "informant" was not to observe, but rather was to find vulnerable (i.e. young, naïve and ambitious) campaign workers who could be guided into an action that could later be represented as having been a criminal act.

And the Dims have gotten in front of this with Clapper actually telling a sympathetic press ‘it is a good idea’. And ‘it would be dangerous to out the informant’. Shades of the Fake Plame Affair. They have had it both ways for waaaaay too long. Times up, sleazy Dims! What they did was ILLEGAL!! Are you listening, Rip Van Sessions??

Sounds to me like the FBI agent provocateur told Papadopoulos that the Russians hacked Hillary Clinton's server. Then, later, when the arranged Papadopoulos meeting with the Australian Ambassador to the UK occurred, the Ambassador asks Papadopoulos, Did you know the Russians hacked the Clinton server? Papadopoulos of course says, Yes. Boom!

Damn right the noose is tightening.

My advice to others...Beware of the conga-line of people chanting from the sidelines, “Nothing will happen, no one will be held responsible”. These things take time. This isn’t McWhopper where unrepresented vulnerable employees can be fired for any reason whatsoever. Bigger fish take much longer to reel in.

a longtime U.S. intelligence source,

Regardless, he and lots and lots of other people need to be hanged by the neck.

After a fair trial, of course.

So now a CIA spy gathering human intelligence from three members of the Trump campaign is called an investigator? That dog won’t hunt! This is a huge scandal!!! The Obama administration spied on and opposing parties campaign, and they have been caught! We must demand justice immediately

There were two fires in Trump Tower.

Who knows what they're doing.

Planting evidence or removing evidence of their activities?

Yes, but it was for a good cause, specifically: to make sure that Obama's successor was not Donald Trump.

Okay, just because they named one. That does not mean there was not another spy as well.

Given all the advantages Hillary had via the Obama administration and his State she should have won easily. However they decided to use the “Deep State” to insure her victory by many illegal operations against the Trump campaign.

I find it most ironic that they could have lost or won in a normal campaign but used illegal actions to insure the victory of Hillary just to make sure. They never for a moment even considered that Hillary would lose thus incredible actions that were most illegal happened to insure her victory.

Hillary lost and the deep state panicked, at this point it was and is strictly survival of the deep state or Trump.

Trump is winning.

ps
I have lived in several third world nations. In some of these nations they had a free press. In some of these nations the press was but just a mouthpiece for the dictatorship.

What I find amazing in my nation today is that we have a free press that is ideological and refuses to print the truth.
