The conversation at a London bar in September 2016 took a strange turn when the woman sitting across from George Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign adviser, asked a direct question: Was the Trump campaign working with Russia? The woman had set up the meeting to discuss foreign policy issues. But she was actually a government investigator posing as a research assistant, according to people familiar with the operation. The F.B.I. sent her to London as part of the counterintelligence inquiry

Rush discussing this now.
Here come more preemptive spin leaks from Team Kenya to friendly media outlets. Must be getting close to the FISA IG report.
Plenty of FBI abuse for Barr to uncover and clean up.
This kills Mueller’s report on when the investigation began. In fact this completely kills the whole Russian collusion charge.
Imagine the Democrats’ shock and horror if the Obama Administration had pulled some botched hotel bulgulary (in an attempt to deal with a political opponent that everyone assumed was gonna lose) and tried a cover up rather than merely use law enforcement and national security assets, a private security firm, a foreign agent for hire and Clinton cash combined with a cover up?
Actually never mind. I had the wrong date.
Here come more preemptive spin leaks from Team Kenya to friendly media outlets. Must be getting close to the FISA IG report.
“Journalist Sharyl Attkisson, the host of “Full Measure,” follows up on her interview with former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell about her allegation that the “entire Russia collusion narrative was made up” by anti-Trump political partisans in the FBI and Department of Justice. Attkisson reports how one FISA warrant against Trump staffer Carter Page could be used to legally surveil 25,000 people, who were associated with him:
NSA Whistleblower: Page FISA Warrant Likely a Gateway to Spy on Entire Trump Campaign
Breitbart ^ | 31 March 2019 | Aaron Klein

The Obama-era FISA warrant obtained to monitor the communications of Carter Page was most likely utilized as a gateway to spy on the rest of Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, contended William Binney, a former highly placed NSA official turned whistleblower. The same warrant against Page technically could also have been used to legally justify collecting data on the Republican National Committee (RNC) or the leadership of the Republican Party, Binney said.
Binney was an architect of the NSA’s surveillance program. He became a famed whistleblower when he resigned on October 31, 2001 after spending more than 30 years with the agency.
He was speaking during an interview that aired Sunday on this reporter’s weekend talk radio show, “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio,” broadcast on New York’s AM 970 The Answer and NewsTalk 990 AM in Philadelphia.
Binney referred to measures put into place by President Obama in January 2014 that restrict the NSA to collecting data on individuals that are only two steps removed from a target being monitored. He explained that if Page had called anyone from the Trump campaign or the RNC, the NSA could legally have spied not only on that second individual but on others called by the second person.
Stated Binney: “If you get a warrant on say Carter Page and for example he has a call or an email to the Republican National Committee or anybody in the Trump campaign, that warrant then allows them to go out two degrees from the RNC to everybody associated with the RNC and from anyone from the Trump campaign to anyone they are associated with.”
“So effectively what that means is that they had the ability to basically spy on anybody,” he said. “They could spy on everybody on the Republican National Committee or everybody in the...

Papadopoulos’ tweet regarding this person.
The first (denied) FISA warrant was prior to Sept 2016.
Crossfire Hurricane was a multi-agency investigation by the Obama administration to gather “evidence” against Trump so that a Crooked Hillary administration could destroy Trump, his family, his business, and his associates.
This era deserves an asterisk in history.
We’re unlikely to see anything like it again.
These guys actually believe(d) their own fantasy?
Other then it looking bad politically
How is a private citizen (Note this is September 2016) talking to or working with Russians illegal?
There is no violation of the Espionage Act here! Trump’s people (particularly this low-level functionary!) have no secrets to give up at this point.
The Times irritates me. “He thought she was a Turkish agent but offered no evidence...” Gee. From her demeanor she was clearly an intel person, and she seemed to be Turkish, so its not a great leap that she is Turkish intel. Now, come to find out she is FBI, that was a leap, but it was also the truth.
How about this: Caputo says a Russian approached him offering information for money, and he blew him off... I forget the guy’s name, but he turns out to be FBI also.
I think ALL OFF the attempts to get Trump to “conspire with Russia” we FBI setups.
I agree. There is some reason that the Times throws in a few kernels of actual news.
So the obammunists knew everything the Trump campaign was doing and Mrs bill still lost the election. Trump must have run a highly sophisticated Russian directed campaign of disinformation on the CIA and FBI spies. Or something or other. Perhaps DJT and all his associates and partisans should be charged for not cooperating with a Democrat/Deepstate spying operation by not doing the things and saying the things desired.
We didn't spy on Trump!
Well, okay, we spied on Trump, but NOT to undermine his electoral chances!
Hey, it was a 'frantic' time! We were 'alarmed' about Russians!
Look, we were fooled by Russian disinformation! Coulda happened to anybody!
Just look at the Republicans trying to pounce on this! Deplorable!
it was unclear whether [the British] provided assistance
[baby step one of the slow reveal as to the big British intel role in trying to stop Trump from being elected.]
And maybe rake Trump’s assets into the Clinton Foundation.
I see the end clearly; a few small fry will be tossed overboard, but Obama, Clinton, Lynch, et al, will continue on as if nothing happened. That is what our American system of (in) justice has become.
