Why did the IG Report completely ignore Stefan Halpers lies to the FBI about @GenFlynn , and leave open the possibility that Halper may even have triggered the opening of the CI case against him?
According to the IG, Stefan Halper (referred to as Source 2) met with the Crossfire Hurricane team twice (in Aug 11 and 12, 2016) and told them he had been previously acquainted with @GenFlynn
*This was immediately before the FBI opened a case on Flynn on Aug 15, 2016*
The IG report is silent on anything Source 2 might have said specifically about Flynn. Its also silent on the fact the Washington Field Office of the FBI tried to close the Flynn case on 01/04/2017. Both are going to be important in a second.
We now know from the FBIs draft Electronic Communication dated 01/04/2017 (trying to close the Flynn CI case, stopped by Strzok at the direction of Comey, McCabe or both) confirms the CH team contacted an established FBI CHS to query about Gen Flynn & held a debriefing
At that debriefing between Halper and the FBI, Halper made up a story about when he witnessed a suspicious cab ride after Flynn spoke at an event. He supposedly shared a cab with someone Halper said was affiliated with Russian intelligence.
(Most of thats still redacted)
This event very likely refers to when Flynn spoke at the Cambridge Intelligence Seminar in Feb 2014, and the suspicious Russian-linked person supposedly in the cab was RealSLokhova (who also attended, and briefly spoke to Flynn)
(Most of thats still redacted as well)
Except that story is a *lie*. Halper wasnt at that event. He witnessed nothing, because he wasnt there. And the cab ride almost certainly didnt happen either, because RealSLokhova says she was picked up from the event by her Husband. And shes willing to say that under oath.
There are multiple pictures of that Cambridge Seminar event (attended by about 20 people). Flynn was there, as was Richard Dearlove (former head of MI6), and Christopher Andrew (then mentor of RealSLokhova and unofficial historian of MI5). But Halper wasnt. Not in any photos.
No one remembers Halper attending the event because, in truth, Halper was not there sworn court filing of RealSLokhova , in case filed against Halper himself
Halper's lawyers never challenged that statement. Even when the federal Judge dismissed RealSLokhova s case (for other reasons), he did not challenge that claim, only saying that even assuming it was false that Halper attended the dinner, it wasnt defamatory to claim he did.
*******************
SVETLANA......My case is under appeal after Clinton-appointed judge attempted to throw it out for time limitation issues-which I am appealing-but not on facts of the case, which are undisputed. This weeks revelations vindicate me.
Halpers lawyers even noted @RealSLokhova s claim it was a falsehood to say Halper attended the Feb, 2014 Cambridge event, and then NEVER defended it as *true*, just that it wasnt *defamatory*, and non-actionable.
Thats because its not true: Halper wasnt there.
And the FBI trying to close the case on Flynn is great evidence Halpers attendance at this event so he could see this suspicious cab ride is false. The FBI never tried to interview @RealSLokhova , or anyone at the dinner. Why? Because it would have proven their own source lied.
FYI, WaPo, WSJ and NYT have all published stories claiming that Halper attended that Feb 2014 event. None have any evidence thats true. All the stories are anonymously sourced to Halper or Halpers buddies. There never will be any evidence Halper was there, because he wasnt.
So when Halper told the FBI that he was previously acquainted with Flynn, and witnessed this suspicious cab ride, HE WAS LYING TO THE FBI. And at the time, he was a paid Confidential Human Source - the only one cited in the carterwpage FISA, other than Steele.
Thats big.
But whats arguably bigger is WHEN Halper told this lie about Flynn. When else could Halper claimed to have been acquainted with Flynn if not this Feb 2014 dinner (the only time Flynn attended the Cambridge seminar Halper helped organize)?
Now, maybe Halper told the FBI about the dinner after the CI case was opened. But thats NOT in the IG report, despite Halpers other meetings with the FBI being in there. In fact the IG report says nothing about Halper and Flynn, other than what I quoted.
In addition, FBIs Jan 4, 2017 draft Closing EC doesnt say when this debriefing with Halper happened either. The wording sort of implies it was after the case was opened, but never says it.
So it is possible that a lie from Halper actually triggered opening the case on Flynn?
What else did the FBI have? Their own laughable predicate appears to be that Flynn worked for Trump, attended an RT dinner (at the time, RepAdamSchiff had previously appeared on RT!), and was linked to Russians (Er, he was the former head of DIA under Russian reset Obama)
Ah, but all of those things were already true between Aug 1 and Aug 10, 2016, which is when the FBI opened cases on Page, Papadopoulos and Manafort - BUT NOT FLYNN. That didnt happen until Aug 15. Hes the odd one out.
Flynn obviously already worked for Trump. He already had these links, and hed already attended the RT dinner long ago. The thin gruel of Russian links and working for Trump was enough to open cases on all the others, but NOT Flynn.
But what did the FBI have extra before they opened the case? Stefan Halper telling them about being previously acquainted with Flynn - which almost certainly refers to that Feb 2014 Cambridge dinner, where he was never acquainted with Flynn at all.
Oh, & even if Halper told this lie *after* the case was opened on Flynn, the FBI mustnt have found it credible because they never tried to properly investigate it, and then even tried to close the case anyway. So that means at best the lie came between Aug 15, 2016 & Jan 4, 2017.
What else was happening between Aug 16 & Jan 17? Oh yeah, the FBI was using a person they should have suspected of lying to dirty people up - Halper - as a CHS wearing a wire on carterwpage , GeorgePapa19 and others, AND relying on Halper as Source #2 in the FISA warrant apps.
Then, incredibly after their own source lies to them about Flynn to dirty him up, the FBI have the audacity to charge Flynn with lying to them! Corrupt dirty cops isnt an adequate description. And for all we know, Halper is STILL on Wrays FBI books as a paid confidential source.
Finally, IG Horowitz blew this line of inquiry, and didnt mention anything about the FBI trying to close the case on Flynn in Jan 2017. Horowitz also admitted hasnt seen any evidence that any of Halpers information was ever corroborated during his entire time as an FBI source
Durham can do what the IG didnt, and solve this mystery quite easily with a few interviews and record checks.
Or, the DOJ/USG can keep Halper on his retainer and ignore this. Either way, well know whats up
