The Department of Justice lost its latest battle... when it allowed House Intelligence Committee members to view classified documents about a top-secret intelligence source that was part of the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign. Even without official confirmation of that source’s name, the news so far holds some stunning implications...
Among them is that the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation outright hid critical information from a congressional investigation...
The bureau already has some explaining to do. Thanks to the... leakers, we know Mr. Nunes’s request deals with a “top secret intelligence source”... who is a U.S. citizen and who was involved in the Russia collusion probe... we might take this to mean that the FBI secretly had a person... to interact in some capacity with the Trump campaign.
This would amount to spying, and it is hugely disconcerting. It would also be a major escalation from the electronic surveillance we already knew about... Obama political appointees rampantly “unmasked” Trump campaign officials... Now we find it may have also been rolling out human intelligence, John Le Carré style, to infiltrate the Trump campaign...
When? The bureau has been doggedly sticking with its story that a tip in July 2016 about the drunken ramblings of George Papadopoulos launched its counterintelligence probe... When precisely was the Steele dossier delivered to the FBI? When precisely did the Papadopoulos information come in?
And to the point, when precisely was this human source operating? Because if it was prior to that infamous Papadopoulos tip, then the FBI isn’t being straight. It would mean the bureau was spying on the Trump campaign prior to that moment. And that in turn would mean that the FBI had been spurred to act on the basis of something other than a junior campaign aide’s loose lips...

Yes, you are right. I think she left open her options. And I am getting around to the sense that it was Halper as well rather than Page. Either Halper or someone in his orbit. If they are really worried about this guy being outted and putting operatives in danger, then they are going to throw up a bunch of red herrings for us to chase. Page, Halper, the Australian diplomat... If they are really worried about him being outted, then it must be because it’s harder to guess his name than it would be to guess the names of one of those guys.
One possibility is that it was the first professor that Papadopoulos met with in March, 2016 who was the informant. All the rest of the smoke might be out there to lead us off the trail. But I have to ask how it was that Papadopoulos ended up talking to that guy anyway. It surely wasn’t a coincidence.
It was a London bar, to an Australian diplomat. What he supposedly said was that he had talked to Russians who claimed they had Hillary’s emails. But that’s just the claim.
Look up this guy Joseph Mifsud. He’s the professor Papa supposedly met with that started all this. Maybe he was the informer? He seems connected to the intelligence establishment.
This would have been a gigantic story if only Trump wasn’t Conned by the Deep-State to hide it from the American people.
I have mixed feelings about it until I know who it is, and how he fits into this. If disclosing his name is going to result in the deaths of our spies, and the info is useless, then obviously I don’t want the info to be released either. But I am suspicious that they won’t even let Congress see it. That makes it sound like they aren’t protecting our spies but rather themselves.
My first thought was it’s a tie between Sessions and Pence. Both are supposed to be “good Christian men”, but I don’t trust either one.
Per Rush concerning the Spy: “Mueller, the FBI, The DOJ, Strzok, Page, Comey, McCabe — it is absolutely incredible but it may well be that they believed this”
Rush keeps pushing the Democrat-Deep State Line.
If it was Page, then this is consistent with the old saw that in any group of 10 KKK members, or 10 “militia” members, at least 8 were FBI agents provocateur. The FBI is single-handedly more responsible for creating high-profile crimes through entrapment than the targets of the charges themselves.
The entire leadership of the FBI and DOJ when this plot was hatched and carried out need to go to prison for life, or hang by the neck at the end of a rope. This kind of abuse of power must be made so costly that (like treason in the Civil War) it isn’t repeated for well over a century.
Phuck these people, each and every one - they take the power and trust that We The People give them, and turn it around for use against US.
Is STEFAN HALPER, the Mole/controller planted on Trump’s team? A super mole/controller for the Deep State Elite going back to President Reagan/Ford/Carter/The Bushes, Clinton and of course Obama.

The timing on Halper doesn’t fit real well. Supposedly, Halper communicated with Papadopoulos out of the blue in Sept. 2016. But the investigation was well underway by then, and Papadopoulos was already under surveillance, I believe.
Very good summation.
much thanks for the correction and info. and you are right - it’s just a claim
Thanks for the info on the possible name.

Very interesting; fits with the other posts here about him.
He served in the U.S. Navy for five years, including a tour in western Morocco as an intelligence officer for a United Nations peacekeeping mission. Page received his Ph.D. in 2012 from SOAS, University of London, where he was supervised by Shirin Akiner. His doctoral dissertation on the transition of Asian countries from communism to capitalism was rejected twice before ultimately being accepted by new examiners. One of his original examiners later said Page "knew next to nothing" about the subject matter and was unfamiliar with "basic concepts" such as Marxism and state capitalism. He sought unsuccessfully to publish his dissertation as a book; a reviewer described it as "very analytically confused, just throwing a lot of stuff out there without any real kind of argument."In 2013, Russian intelligence operatives attempted to recruit Page, and one described him as enthusiastic about business opportunities in Russia but an "idiot". News accounts in 2017 indicated that because of these ties to Russia, Page had been the subject of a warrant pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) in 2014, at least two years earlier than was indicated in the stories concerning his role in the 2016 Presidential campaign of Donald Trump
Shortly after Page resigned from the Trump campaign, the Federal Bureau of Investigation obtained another warrant (he was subject to one in 2014) from the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) in October 2016 to surveil Page's communications. To issue the warrant, a federal judge concluded there was probable cause to believe that Page was a foreign agent knowingly engaging in clandestine intelligence for the Russian government. The initial 90-day warrant was subsequently renewed more than once.
The dossier alleges that Sechin offered Page the brokerage fee from the sale of up to 19 percent of Rosneft if he worked to roll back Magnitsky Act economic sanctions that had been imposed on Russia in 2012.
USN '93-'98: Naval officer: Moroccan intelligence
London 2012: Already on MI6 and CIA radar.
2013-2017: Turn to Russia, constant FISA surveilliance
2016-2017: Flipped by alphabet agency and sent to Trump campaign

Yes. You’d have to assume most of that was fake news in order to preserve his cover.
