A Cambridge professor with deep ties to American and British intelligence has been outed as an agent who snooped on the Trump presidential campaign for the FBI.
Multiple media outlets have named Stefan Halper, 73, as the secret informant who met with Trump campaign advisers Carter Page and George Papadopoulos starting in the summer of 2016. The American-born academic previously served in the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations.
The revelation, stemming from recent reports in which FBI sources admitted sending an agent to snoop on the Trump camp, heightens suspicions that the FBI was seeking to entrap Trump campaign aides. Papodopoulous has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, while Page was the subject of a federal surveillance warrant.
If the FBI or DOJ was infiltrating a campaign for the benefit of another campaign, that is a really big deal, President Trump tweeted Saturday, calling for the FBI to release additional documents to Congress.
The Halper revelation also shows the Obama administrations FBI began prying into the opposing partys presidential nominee earlier than it previously admitted.
Halpers sit-downs with Page reportedly started in early July 2016, undermining fired FBI Director James Comeys previous claim that the bureaus investigation into the Trump campaign began at the end of that month.

...FBI informant...
Door #1 If this man acted of his own accord he's an informant.
Door #2 If this man acted under orders he's an agent/spy.
Bodyguards are pretty expensive. Bet he doesn’t have any.
BINGO!! I do not think its Stephan Halper either! I think he is a red herring since he did NOT work in the Trump Campaign! WTH is going on?
WHAT is that weak Congress going to do to him....NOTHING!
“WTH is going on?”
The good news is that the name of the informant is in a doc subpoenaed by the House.
If it is not produced, unreadacted, Rosenstein and Sessions will be impeached.
I’m with you ...i don’t think this is the guy they’re so worried about exposing. He wasn’t ever in the campaign so there is another name.
Halpers clearly part of the set up team tho
TRUMP Train Rolling!
What do u suggest Ann?
We leave them alone because congress can’t do anything.
Or that a DC Jury won’t convict any of them.
What do u suggest?
Is it Halper that is named?
We have to get a STRONGER, more Conservative law abiding Congress that isn’t afraid of their shadow!

20 May: The Intercept: The FBI Informant Who Monitored the Trump Campaign, Stefan Halper, Oversaw a CIA Spying Operation in the 1980 Presidential Election
by Glenn Greenwald
In 2016, top officials from the intelligence community similarly rallied around Hillary Clinton. As The Intercept has previously documented...
Equally strange are the semantic games which journalists are playing in order to claim that this revelation disproves, rather than proves, Trumps allegation that the FBI spied on his campaign. This bizarre exchange between CNNs Andrew Kaczynski and the New York Times Trip Gabriel vividly illustrates the strange machinations used by journalists to justify how all of this is being characterized...
Whatever else is true, the CIA operative and FBI informant used to gather information on the Trump campaign in the 2016 campaign has, for weeks, been falsely depicted as a sensitive intelligence asset rather than what he actually is: a long-time CIA operative with extensive links to the Bush family who was responsible for a dirty and likely illegal spying operation in the 1980 presidential election. For that reason, its easy to understand why many people in Washington were so desperate to conceal his identity, but that desperation had nothing to do with the lofty and noble concerns for national security they claimed were motivating them.

WHAT????
He wasn’t an informant or spy. His job was to set up an entrapment scheme. Another person to keep in mind is Joseph Milsfud who disappeared.
I want to see them.. the elite untouchables .. in handcuffs on their way to face the real justice!!
Was Halper in Russia the same time Billy Jeff was protesting in Russia against America.
That is a disgusting reply.
Excuse the spelling. It’s Joseph Mifsud who’s gone completely underground.
