•On July 31st, 2016 the FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation against the Trump campaign. They did not inform congress until March 2017. •At the beginning of August (1st-3rd) 2016 FBI Agent Peter Strzok traveled to London, England for interviews with UK intelligence officials. •On August 15th, 2016 Peter Strzok sends a text message to DOJ Lawyer Lisa Page describing the “insurance policy“, needed in case Hillary Clinton were to lose the election.
Recently there has been a great deal of interest in the origination OF the 2016 FBI counterintelligence operation, and how the FISA court was later used to gain Title-1 surveillance warrant against U.S. person Carter Page; part of that operation.
The current line of inquiry surrounds the originating “EC” or “electronic communication” that was generated by CIA Director John Brennan and passed on to FBI Director James Comey. The EC initiated the FBI Counterintelligence Operation.
Specifically, House Intelligence Committee Devin Nunes has asked about a redacted name within the “EC”, which has led to the DOJ and FBI claiming to release the name would compromise the individual.
All of these inquires, and refusals, center around the origination authority for the FBI Counterintelligence operation. The origination led to the FISA warrant. Remember that.
Chairman Nunes sent Main Justice a classified letter asking questions. DOJ responded saying they would not comply with providing information (letter) The Washington Post claimed Nunes was looking for information on an FBI/DOJ ‘source’: “a U.S. citizen who has provided intelligence to the CIA and FBI.” Additionally, this “source” was later also described by WaPo as a witness for Robert Mueller’s ongoing investigation.

If the Obama administration clearly had conducted this surveillance of the Trump campaign, then why didn't any of these extraordinary measures do any good in the 2016 election?
It’s now basically confirmed that Stefan Halper is the FBI source Rosenstein doesn’t want to be revealed to Nunes and the House Intelligence Committee. He set up Papadopoulos and Carter Page as patsys.
Please spend sometime reading this to see if it answers your question.
Posting the name here;
Stefan Halper.
LONG time CIA/Bush dirty tricks guy.
“If the Obama administration clearly had conducted this surveillance of the Trump campaign, then why didn’t any of these extraordinary measures do any good in the 2016 election?”
Because Trump isn’t a dirty, corrupt scumbag like the rest of them. He’s a true American Patriot. He will someday be mentioned in conversations with/about George Washington.
He used their corrupt behavior against them and it worked.
Sweating they are....tight sphincters everywhere....
“Posting the name here;

Halper has been involved with every president since President Reagan.
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.

Insurance policy....
What if they meant assassination?
The insurance policy against JFK dismantling the old CIA and underfunding the Military Industrial Complex was his assassination.
Maybe the redacted name was John McCain?
So is anything going to be done about this?
Someone here on FR made the point that Trump knew about the surveillance, and used it to play the other side.
Counterintelligence is a wonderful game.
I’ve made that suggestion a number of times since early 2017. You probably read one of my other posts. LOL.
Yes, although I'm skeptical that this will happen. The other thing is that steps must be taken to ensure that this never happens again. Heck, I'd even be all for outlawing socialism and communism, but I'm not sure how that could be done.
I think it says something really awful about our opponents.
It's a pretty standard belief that we now have so many laws that everyone basically commits a felony every day. Heck, if the government wants to "get you" they just have to look at what you did last week, and they can ruin your life.
Well, the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA actively surveilled Trump for over a year looking for anything they could find to destroy the guy.
They found nothing.
And NORMAL people would say, "This man is practically a saint! I can't believe how clean he is! Maybe he would be good for this country."
But not these people. They just grit their teeth and growl, "Make something up. I don't care if he's innocent, we need to destroy this guy. Find a way."
Just awful.
It was. Trump called him in and made him produce his passport. Cohen was in California with his son at the time they claimed he was in Prague. He produced proof of that too. The plant was Carter Page.
Thanks Gramps.
Whether true or not, it certainly applies enormous pressure on him, the CIA, DOJ and FBI to refute it.
Any of those guys, under oath before a Congressional Committee, should be sensing their invincibility crumbling along with their conspiracy.
At worst they will decline to comment. Repeatedly.
And great kerfuffle will ensue from the Deep State conspirators in Congress and media.
Soon even CNN will have panel discussions over “wat everyone already knows”, and there’ll be some folks in Congress, and RUNNING for Congress calling for Stefan Halper to be called before a committee to testify about who engaged him, and what he was supposed to be doing.
And did anyone pay him.
Good times.
“Halper has been involved with every president since President Reagan.”
Since Nixon.
“Make something up. I don’t care if he’s innocent, we need to destroy this guy. Find a way.”

What if the mole was really an agent provocateur tasked with setting the campaign up w/Russians in order to then spring the collusion trap?
Who suggested/vouched for Papadapolous, Carter, Gates and Manafort? They all appear to have been eager to facilitate campaign contacts with Russians. They all were leveragable. They all have been indicted....are those indictments designed to make sure they keep their mouths totally shut lest things become worse? Progs do not reward their minions, they *retire* them....one way or another.

Very good perspective and quite likely.
I heard two different Michael Cohens. It was all a set up. Good thing his name isn’t John Smith or “they” would get digging up even more suspicious trips, meetings and transactions to put onto him.
