FBI informant met with three Trump campaign advisers: report
The Hill ^ | 05/18/18 | Max Greenwood

A secret FBI informant who has come into the spotlight in recent days reportedly met with three advisers to President Trump's campaign during the 2016 presidential election.

The Washington Post reported Friday that in addition to meeting with Trump campaign advisers George Papadopoulos and Carter Page, the informant – described as an American academic – also met with former Trump campaign co-chair Sam Clovis.

The informant, a professor who is said to be a longtime U.S. intelligence source, met Clovis for coffee in northern Virginia in the summer of 2016, during which he offered to provide foreign policy advice to the campaign, the Post reported.

The role of the informant in the origins of the FBI investigation into possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia has given rise to claims by some GOP lawmakers and Trump allies in recent days that the Obama administration planted a "mole" within the Trump campaign to dig up dirt on the businessman and his associates.

Etc...

Bill and Lynch met on a Tarmac.. Perhaps Bill was dropping a name of an acquaintance that could be used as the saboteur in the Trump campaign. I read that Halper and Bill both attended Oxford together.

#2: "Stefan Halper"

Stefan Halper at Wikipedia

Hmmm. Very well could be, a strong candidate. Any other plausible suspects?

Mr. Academic Informant was running an illegal spying operation for the FBI and the Clowns.

You got it. These people attempted criminally undermine and compromise a legitimate Presidential candidate then the President of the United States. They’ll plant evidence and kill people if they think they can avoid detection. Based on what is now known, I’d say these people are capable of anything.

Days after Trump was declared the winner, the h clintoon sycophancy was mouthing that she could still be the winner when Trump is ‘exposed’. That meme probably spewed from Brennan, believing he had fixed the fake materials well enough to cash the insurance policy S & P wrote about. And recently, this same Islamic liar has raised the same threat against Trump’s place in History. Brennan is a maniac. an ego maniac with delusions of grandeur.

#5/ re the Post saying “that he never was a plant”.

OK, then why is his codename “Poison Ivy”? Seems that everybody in the garden of good and evil knows who he is but the NY Times and Sen. Warner (D-Va) aka “Warner the Witless”.

With recent developments (FBI spy, Clapper’s defense, IG report, etc.), conspiracy theories are becoming less weird. Questions keep popping up, like Why?, Who benefits?, What was the end game?.

Why? Because the two candidates were viewed by the previous regime as disasters waiting to happen. It was also a chance to get even for past sins. SWMNBN and the half breed hated each other, despite the public support. President Trump had denied the validity of the birth certificate.

Who benefits? One word - Obama. The email leaks and the Russia collusion story damaged both candidates while the half breed stayed above the fray. Meanwhile, he continues his “looking Presidential “ farce.

What was the end game? How about canceling the election and holding on to al the power. To keep fundamentally transforming America into a third world s#thole.

I’m sure Clapper (and wapo, nyt) would say it would be a good idea. To protect him from Russia, you know.

If their intentions were PURE, Clapper would have come running out in his shorts to find a camera A LONG TIME AGO to proclaim what a magnificent plan they executed.

This is BS. This is CYA. This is pure alright...PURE LEFT MANIPULATION of the peasants.

Only peasants are not that stupid.

Who knows - with the info that it is a “professor” with some sort of international qualifications and the meetings described, it should be easy to determine for sure - Halper fits the basics....wonder how many other potential candidates there might be - should be a short list.

So the difference between Obama having the FBI place a spy within the Trump campaign and Nixon having some over enthusiastic spooks breaking into the Democratic headquarters is?

Seriously.... Way worse than Watergate.

Obama can’t be impeached, but criminal charges can be laid against him. I say throw the book at them. Charge the whole lot with conspiracy to subvert the electoral process before Trump got elected and with treason for all their actions since he got elected.

Former officials can be impeached and convicted. They lose their benefits and are ineligible to hold any office in the future.

Yet another one.

This coupled with multiple other reports of this sort of activity, as well as the confirmation of the surveillance of Trump Tower is putting the pieces together that all of this did in fact occur.

Yet Jake Tapper and those like him say, even with all of this confirmation and multiple confirmed reports going on for months now, that the claim the Trump campaign was being spied on is a conspiracy theory only believed by those who are being misled by right wing media sources.

FBI agent provocateur

Your analysis is spot on. However, this article has a glaring error. It refers to the informant as an FBI informant. The original WB/NYT articles refer to the informant as a government informant.

The FBI is not authorized to 'spy' outside the USA. They can interview and investigate people outside the USA, but they can't spy outside the USA. Therefore, my conclusion is that the informant is a CIA informant.

So, the CIA plants an agent provocateur to create the intelligence to initiate the counter-intelligence investigation. This is why Devin Nunes wants to see the EC (Electronic Communication) that started the counter-intel investigation. Once Nunes exposes this, the whole thing blows up.

This is also John Brennen's exposure to criminal prosecution.

With the recent confirmation of Haspel, who was London station chief during the 2016 activation of Halper to entrap Pap, gnarls this scene. IF Brennan activated Halper without telling the station chief in whose area this was done, then it sure looks like a political operation not an agency operation. The lie of starting a cointel to protect Trump is blown away. Strengthening the criminal culpability of the lying Mooselimb, Brennan. Now, who sent him out on this political mission?
