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 administration’s FBI began prying into the opposing party’s presidential nominee earlier than it previously admitted.
Halper’s sit-downs with Page reportedly started in early July 2016, undermining fired FBI Director James Comey’s previous claim that the bureau’s investigation into the Trump campaign began at the end of that month.

” snooped”
How quaint
Funny how hard they've all worked to bury the fact that the Jeb Bush campaign originated the dirty "oppo research" that the Clinton campaign somehow just magically "picked up." I guess it was just lying around on a coffee table gathering dust like the Rose Law Firm billing records or something. Just a coincidence, nope, no collusion between Republicans and Democrats to take Trump down.
Arkancide?

WHAT DID PRESIDENT OBAMA KNOW AND WHEN DID HE KNOW IT?
“””Funny how hard they’ve all worked to bury the fact that the Jeb Bush campaign originated the dirty “oppo research” that the Clinton campaign somehow just magically “picked up.””””
When Trump called JEBush ‘low energy’. the Bush regime called upon its former CIA contacts to go after Trump. Ray Cline was Deputy CIA and GHW Bush was CIA Director.
Yeah, I would say he’s in a pretty tough spot. If he doesn’t sing he will rot in jail. If he does sing and doesn’t go to jail, his life won’t be worth a plug nickle and considering he probably didn’t make enough as a traitor to afford a bodyguard, oh well.
Both CIA assets!
She had good things to say about John McCain’s character during her confirmation, even though hed had come out against her. I hope that’s no indication of deep state comradery.
Yeah, it was and is, a hit job:

Thanks for correction.
Yeah, hush money paid by liberals is considered a threat to democrat survival so rates classification. What a joke!
I know that it is protocol to call a previous president by that title, but I will never refer to Obama as President Obama.
I feel so lucky to watch this evil man fall with his “the Constitution only tells you what you CANNOT do” comment.
I shall never forget that comment. So, no President Obama for me. Just plain old OBAMA. The despised.
...Mueller’s probe is crippled by the fruit of the poisoned tree, illegal spying, not just a politically compromised dossier...
It doesn’t matter. Democrats did it. So of course it is perfectly legal. We see evidence of this on a regular basis.
No problem.
Seems the Brits have their share of swamp creatures too — GLOBALISTS.
They wanted Trump defeated. The CIA, FBI, and MI6 may have been the collusion.
..worked on the 1980 presidential campaign of George H.W. Bush, who had served as CIA director.
Add 43 to the list of people to ask what did you know and when did you know it.
Deadly Comey ClintonObamaConnection.
That story doesn’t make any sense. As a candidate, even back then, wouldn’t Reagan have been getting classified briefings to keep him up to speed? FWIW, that article reads like dis and/or misinfo to me.
I wouldn’t assume he was the only one. He may we’ll be just the tip of the iceberg.
And to think I, and most here once had the highest respect for the Bushes. Halperin is the GOPe smoking gun. I believe that at a minimum, Ryan was aware of what was occurring and is the reason he's leaving. This spy novel no doubt has many more twist and turns. The term drain the swamp is much more than a slogan. It must be done!
EXACTLY! Why can't the media ever get anything correct? Halper was an agent provocateur! ... and he did his job well. TO DEVIL'S ISLAND WITH HIM!
