A Cambridge professor with deep ties to American and British intelligence has been outed as an agent who snooped on the Trump presidential campaign for the FBI.
Multiple media outlets have named Stefan Halper, 73, as the secret informant who met with Trump campaign advisers Carter Page and George Papadopoulos starting in the summer of 2016. The American-born academic previously served in the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations.
The revelation, stemming from recent reports in which FBI sources admitted sending an agent to snoop on the Trump camp, heightens suspicions that the FBI was seeking to entrap Trump campaign aides. Papodopoulous has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, while Page was the subject of a federal surveillance warrant.
“If the FBI or DOJ was infiltrating a campaign for the benefit of another campaign, that is a really big deal,” President Trump tweeted Saturday, calling for the FBI to release additional documents to Congress.
The Halper revelation also shows the Obama administration’s FBI began prying into the opposing party’s presidential nominee earlier than it previously admitted.
Halper’s sit-downs with Page reportedly started in early July 2016, undermining fired FBI Director James Comey’s previous claim that the bureau’s investigation into the Trump campaign began at the end of that month.

This guy will not fall on his sword, he'll sing.
Now all we need is a competent AG.
How can Halper be an “FBI informant inside the Trump campaign” if he never worked in the Trump campaign?
More specifically, he needs to live long enough for Sessions to resign and be replaced.
Score one for Conservative Treehouse.
He’s a Clinton cronie. Went to Oxford with Billy Jeff.
Do we know it was somebody truly “inside”?
If I were Halper, I’d find a safe place to hide.
I’m certain congress would like to have a talk with him behind
closed doors, under oath.
Who knows, maybe even a grand jury.
It is my understanding that he disappeared about 7 months
ago.
Technically he didn’t work inside the Trump campaign. He rather infiltrated the campaign via communications with Page, Papadopoulos and another guy. Same principle but through another door instead of actually bring hire
Fair trials followed by first class hangings.

“Now all we need is a competent AG.”
Pity we don’t have one.

Mueller’s probe is crippled by the fruit of the poisoned tree, illegal spying, not just a politically compromised dossier.
$20 million dollars down the drain. And that’s just the tip of a vast iceberg. More revelations to come that put the kibosh on the Deep State’s plot to oust Trump from office.
What goes around comes around.
And served as an advisor in the Clinton administration.
The good news is a Post article now forces everyone to either confirm, or deny.
Or, refuse to confirm or deny...thereby confirming.
There a LOT of folks that want to talk to him. Starting with the US Congress.
I have NO faith in the DOJ/FBI driving this.
NONE.
.
The FBI is history.
At this point they command zero credibility to any jury.

“It is my understanding that he disappeared about 7 months
ago.”
Is there a source for that? Hell, he might already be swimming with the fishes.
It had to be Comey and/or Clapper via someone else....and HE/SHEs the person we don't know.
This was a "handoff" play. How did it start?
We don’t. These headlines and articles are very misleading. I have yet to see a single report that had any evidence of someone inside the campaign who was a CIA or FBI asset, but these half-assed media outlets insist on using incorrect terms like “mole” or “plant” to describe this person.
Score one for Conservative Treehouse.

Absolutely!

He has been paid over $1.2mil by the US Government since 2012 and it’s all classified.
M, I read it in another article on a Google search.
I don’t remember which one.
But that is what the article said.
