Krugman Cries Treason After Stefan Halper Outed As FBI Infiltrator, There's Just One Problem...
Conservative Angle ^ | 5-20-2018

Posted on 05/20/2018 6:03:38 AM PDT by blam

Friday’s outing of longtime CIA and MI6 asset Stefan Halper as an FBI asset sent to infiltrate the Trump campaign has social media abuzz today. Reactions have ranged from celebration to outrage, with little inbetween.

To recap, after two weeks of hunting for a “mole” in the Trump campaign, the New York Times and Washington Post both printed incredibly detailed descriptions of Halper – withholding all but his name, solidly corroborating a March report by the Daily Caller‘s Chuck Ross about Halper’s meetings with the Trump aides. Neither publication give Ross credit, of course.

Somehow several anti-Trump intellectuals got their wires crossed, conflating President Trump and Senate Intel Committee Chair Devin Nunes’ calls for transparency by the DOJ, with the actual media outlets that exposed Halper.

Senior Brookings Institute fellow, and James Comey’s close friend, Benjamin Wittes is beside himself – angrily tweeting: “I have a whole lot to say about how the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and the President of the United States teamed up to out an intelligence source…,” adding in a subsequent tweet “But I am too angry to write right now—and Twitter is probably not the right forum. So I’ll leave it at this for now: Important people defiled their oaths of office for these stories to appear.”

I have a whole lot to say about how the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and the President of the United States teamed up to out an intelligence source who aided our country in a properly predicated counterintelligence investigation against a hostile foreign power.

To which Paul Krugman replied: “We’ve basically crossed the line into treason now — and a whole party is acquiescing”

Paul Krugman? What does he know about the Constitution and treason? He's barely literate in his so-called expertise, economics.

Remember when he said the stock market would crash and never recover after Trump was elected?

He's no expert at anything.

Cue the three guys laughing their asses off:

“Before Halper, there was the ‘insurance policy’ of dirtying up the players....”

Sounds like Halper was the ‘insurance policy’. His job was to trip up Trump people, hopefully to the point of preventing Trump from winning, or at least to be able to remove Trump (or better yet, prevent him from taking office), should he win on Election Night.

But as we continue to peel back the onion, the efforts of the media are both getting funnier, but also getting scarier. The ‘claim’ that the FBI was only trying to ‘help’ the Trump Campaign by spying on them - REALLY?

Is that much different than Nixon (hypothetically) claiming that the Watergate Burglars took the DNC documents to review them and thereby help prevent the DNC from making any mistakes which might have gotten them in legal trouble.

I don’t remember Woodword and Bernstien making that claim.

You don’t get who this guy is.

I’m sure he has multiple identities and multiple retreats where he could go when the time finally came.

I would guess Argentina or Chile below 40 South, but a guy like this could go anywhere - even to the Obama Jarrett mansion in DC - and remain invisible.

I’d check the South Island of NZ west of Dunedin.

Hmm.

Wait... so the FBI is corrupted by democrats (100% of whom are corrupt to the core) who plant a spy in the Trump campaign and then cry “treason!” when the spy is outed, even though Trump didn’t out him.

Hillary’s loss has driven these people certifiably insane. Every last one of them needs to be driven out of government, education, and anything else that involves anything more complicated than picking up little pieces of garbage off the side of the road and putting them in plastic bags.

With tongue firmly implanted in my cheek I looked up “synonyms for democrat” in a search on the internet, and obtained the following results..........

“Synonyms and Antonyms of democrat. one who advocates or practices social equality a true democrat, he has always abhorred that nation’s class system Synonyms egalitarian, leveler (or leveller) Related Words populist; communist, Marxist, social democrat, socialist Near Antonyms snob, snoot.”

I altered nothing. What you see above is how, and what was stated.

Trade theory:

“Krugman was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (informally the Nobel Prize in Economics), the sole recipient for 2008. This prize includes an award of about $1.4 million and was given to Krugman for his work associated with New Trade Theory and the New Economic Geography. “

It seems to me the whole Obama administration is guilty of treason.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not just the people inside the Kenyanesian Usurpation, but everyone who enabled it.
That includes almost everyone in the District of Corruption and almost everyone in media.

Barack Obama is NOT a natural born citizen.

Treason is a crime of warfare, spying for the enemy and transmitting the information back to the partisan’s selected side.

From the US Constitution:

“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.”

The enemy is already within out gates. And the all-out war is imminent, the snipers are active and the ambushes frequent.

FBI Spy-Op Exposed, Trump Campaign Infiltrated By Longtime CIA And MI6 Asset

"Following two weeks of mounting speculation over the FBI's so-called "mole" inside the Trump campaign, the New York Times and Washington Post published separate accounts on Friday detailing the infiltration of the Trump campaign - a scheme revealed in a Wednesday report by the New York Times in which "at least one government informant met several times with Mr. Page and Mr. Papadopoulos." The Wednesday report also disclosed the existence of "Operation Crossfire Hurricane" - the FBI's code name for their early Trump-Russia investigation.

If you live in out-of-the-way-places, such as Bedias, TX or Eureka, ID, be on the lookout for someone with a bad beard and a funny accent who keeps looking over his shoulder.
It might be Halper.

Krugman's statement is correct, but his timing is wrong. This was true during both the 0bama and Clinton administrations.

These people are either psychotic or retarded.

How did Halper (assuming he's the one) get "outed" as a CIA operative?

1. Rod Rosenstein listed his name in a memorandum that documents Robert Mueller's responsibilities as a special counsel in the U.S. Department of Justice.

2. Robert Mueller conducts an investigation that results in indictments against a number of parties.

3. To the apparent surprise of the DOJ, some of the defendants in these cases actually enter "not guilty" pleas and go to trial.

4. The lawyers for these defendants file motions demanding a copy of this document. Under the U.S. criminal justice system, they likely have a right to see this document.

So who is actually the "treasonous" jack@ss who exposed the identity of this CIA asset -- Rosenstein? Mueller? BOTH?

What the hell are Benjamin Wittes and Paul Krugman smoking? The House Intelligence Committee (Nunes) and Senate Judiciary Committee (Grassley) are demanding to see unredacted copies of a redacted DOJ document that has already been turned over IN UNREDACTED FORM to a Federal judge presiding over a criminal trial that is only taking place because Mueller's team filed indictments against these parties.
