Reports Indicate Secret FBI and CIA Mole Spying on Trump Campaign
BPR ^ | 15 May 2018 | KRISTINA WONG

Speculation is mounting over the identity of a purported top-secret intelligence source who was part of the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign. Such a source was first confirmed last week by leakers to the Washington Post. The leakers told the Post that senior FBI and national intelligence officials tried to stop House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes from receiving information that could “endanger a top-secret intelligence source.”

The leakers also revealed the source is a “U.S. citizen who has provided intelligence to the CIA and FBI.”

They also revealed that providing the information about the source could “damage relationships with other countries that serve as U.S. intelligence partners” — meaning that the source likely worked with other nations.

Their panic was reportedly set off by a recent request for the information from Nunes to Attorney General Jeff Sessions on April 24. The Justice Department initially rejected his request, but acquiesced, providing him with the information last Wednesday.

Despite claims that releasing the information would endanger lives, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) told reporters on Thursday that the request was “wholly appropriate” and overdue.

“I spent some time looking at the HPSCI request, at the HPSCI investigation. I think this request is wholly appropriate. It’s completely within the scope of the investigation that’s been ongoing for a while with respect to FISA. I actually think that this is something that probably should have been answered a while ago,” he said.

Although the leakers may have wanted to take aim at Nunes, the revelation of a top secret intelligence source has prompted new questions over whether the CIA and the FBI tried to ensnare members of the Trump campaign in order to launch an investigation of the campaign.

But Strassel points out that many questions remain. She wrote:

“The players in this affair—the FBI, former Director Jim Comey, the Steele dossier authors—have been suspiciously vague on the key moments leading up to that launch date. When precisely was the Steele dossier delivered to the FBI? When precisely did the Papadopoulos information come in?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Good questions...

There was a spy in the Trump camp pre- and post-election and still Mueller has nothing to prosecute Trump on, even after what will soon be two years of an insider spy???

I was a bit skeptical at first that there was actually a plant in the Trump campaign. More likely just someone who “interacted” with the Trump campaign, as Strassel suggested. But it’s been more than a week since this story broke, and the FBI and DOJ have not denied it. I would think they would be quick to deny it if it were false.

Question 1: What did James Comey know, and when did he know it?

Question 2: What did Hillary Clinton know, and when did she know it?

Question 3: What did Loretta Lynch know, and when did she know it?

Question 4: What did Robert Mueller know, and when did he know it?

Question 5: What did Barack Hussein Obama know, and when did he know it?

Any variance in any of their stories must be immediately determined to be a Process Crime to be followed up with the maximum number of years in prison for each offense, which is 30 years.

So we are supposed to keep the identity of the FBI spy a secret to avoid embarrassing other countries, which were working with the Obama administration to try to ensure that Trump lost? Makes sense.

The definition of “top-secret” is: “containing information whose unauthorized disclosure could result in exceptionally grave damage to the United States.

Or, in this and many other cases, information that may cause exeptionally grave EMBARRASING information to the Deep State.

If true, this will be to Watergate what Chernobyl was to Three Mile Island.

CIA under communist Muslim director Brennan was Obamas most potent secret weapon. Short of having the Caliph move into the West Wing it was the best he could do.

If our intelligence services are worried about damaging relationships, they should look into a mirror.

Almost every report I've read about this story has had a misleading headline. A "mole" would be someone actually working inside the Trump campaign, but none of the information in the original reports actually says that. The DOJ -- and the related Washington Post report -- simply refers to FBI/CIA assets who had some involvement in the investigation.

Neither Joseph Mifsud nor Stefan Halper, for example, would be considered a "mole" under any definition of the word.

Given what we know now, we need to assume that there are paid moles in the WH and that phone taps are active on members of the administration as well as the conservative press.

Congress needs to pass a LAW that any redaction of any document within any government agency that is done for the purpose of SHIELDING EMBARRASSMENT OF ANY INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS and not for purposes directly related to PROTECTING NATIONAL SECURITY is a FELONY punishable by a $100,000 fine and TEN YEARS in federal prison.

DONE!
