Sam Clovis, a former national co-chairman of the Trump campaign, is one of three Trump figures known to have been contacted by FBI informant Stefan Halper during the 2016 presidential campaign. Clovis received an email, out of the blue, from Halper, whom he did not know, on August 29, 2016 — after Halper had been in touch with Carter Page and just before he contacted George Papadopoulos.
Page and Papadopoulos were peripheral, sometime volunteer Trump foreign policy advisers, but they are key figures in the investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to rig the 2016 election. Clovis, who is not suspected of any wrongdoing, has testified and been interviewed for a total of 19 hours, by his own count, before special counsel Robert Mueller's investigators, before Mueller's grand jury, and before the House and Senate intelligence committees.
During all that testifying, Clovis never knew about Halper's connection to the FBI. Only recently, from news reports, has Clovis learned about Halper's true role. And that has prompted Clovis to re-play his brief and seemingly inconsequential encounter with Halper in light of a wealth of new information.

Funny how this sounds exactly like how Malware gets installed on your system....by opening an email from someone you don’t know.
Or how someone got access to Podesta’s email account.
You don’t even need to be Russian to do it.
It was a sting to put Clovis into the fisa surveillance net
Sam Clovis was in the Air Force IG office, member of foreign policy think tanks, political candidate, and radio talk show host. He knows about email security.
“...the House and Senate intelligence committees.”
Never use the word “Intelligence” with either the Senate or the House!
Sam was NORAD IG not AF IG. Retired in 1996. Concern about email security then was nothing like it is now. Plus as a senior officer you have folks working for you to handle any security issues.
Sam and I were Majors together in AF Project Checkmate for several years in the 1980’s. He is the most honest, patriotic individual you could ever find. He went to Air Force Academy where quibbling is enough to get you expelled. For all you who don’t know the term. “It depends upon what your definition of is, is.”
NORAD IG’s pretty high up there, too. I once did a charity promo with General Chappie James in the Chidlaw Building!
