John Brennan’s Plot to Infiltrate the Trump Campaign
The American Spectator ^ | 22 May 2018 | George Neumayr

Posted on 05/22/2018 10:43:38 AM PDT by Magnatron

s Trump won primary after primary in 2016, a rattled John Brennan started claiming to colleagues at the CIA that Estonia’s intelligence agency had alerted him to an intercepted phone call suggesting Putin was pouring money into the Trump campaign. The tip was bogus, but Brennan bit on it with opportunistic relish.

Out of Brennan’s alarmist chatter about the bogus tip came an extraordinary leak to the BBC: that Brennan had used it, along with later half-baked tips from British intelligence, as the justification to form a multi-agency spy operation (given the Orwellian designation of an “inter-agency taskforce”) on the Trump campaign, which he was running right out of CIA headquarters.

The CIA was furious about the leak, but never denied the BBC’s story. To Congress earlier this year, Brennan acknowledged the existence of the group, but cast his role in it as the mere conduit of tips about Trump-Russia collusion: “It was well beyond my mandate as director of CIA to follow on any of those leads that involved U.S. persons. But I made sure that anything that was involving U.S. persons, including anything involving the individuals involved in the Trump campaign, was shared with the bureau.”

But if his role had truly been passive, the “inter-agency taskforce” wouldn’t have been meeting at CIA headquarters. By keeping its discussions at Langley, Brennan could keep his finger wedged in the pie.

Wonder what Brennan’s connection was with Huma and Hillary’s Arab Spring?

This is right out of spy novel, only it shows how totally inept these people were and still are.

I don't believe they are inept as much as this type of "news" does NOT fit their template of Hitlery/Ovomit=transformative saviors, Trump=pure evil.

Gee, whadya know, not only does Stefan Halper have his London-Cambridge "fellow" gig, he has a farm in Virginia! (And we know how cheap they are.) In the vernacular, this is called a "CIA safe house."

I'm sure every inch and acre is wired for sound and video. But does it have a soundproofed basement with an iron padeye in the wall for shackles?

And look how they paid him: DOD. ("R&D in Social Sciences," LOL). Part of the CIA's "black budget" I'm sure. And these are just the payments we've seen so far.

A veteran of the intelligence community tells TAS that Brennan’s CIA was full of Hillary supporters, some of whom decorated their desks with her campaign paraphernalia.

Brennan, whom the press noted would walk the halls of the CIA in an LGBT rainbow lanyard, encouraged this open political atmosphere. While Brennan knew his spying operation on the Trump campaign was an “exceptionally, exceptionally sensitive” matter (as reported by journalists David Corn and Michael Isikoff), he assumed its machinations would never come to light.

The members of Brennan’s working group at Langley “were just a bunch of out-of-control idiots,” says a former high-ranking CIA official to TAS. He finds it flabbergasting that Brennan would bring CIA officials and FBI officials into the same room to cook up schemes to send a spy into the Trump campaign’s ranks. One of those schemes involved money (Halper paid George Papadopoulos $3,000 for a phony research paper as a way of luring him into a London meeting); another involved sex (Halper’s assistant, with a name out of a bad spy novel, Azra Turk, tried to coax information from Papadopoulos at flirty bar outings, according to the Daily Caller’s Chuck Ross).

Excerpted. Go to the link below and read how Brennan turned the CIA into a liberal workshop and playground for liberals for Clinton at the CIA:

As we look into Halpers Black Budget funding, he has been paid a lot more than we first thought.

“Spying pays well!”

BOL, if you don’t have to disappear before getting to appear before a Grand Jury.
