Cambridge professor and reported FBI informant Stefan Halper, who is being sued by a Russian-born academic for allegedly smearing her and former national security adviser Michael Flynn as part of a government conspiracy to bring down the Trump administration, declared in a recent court filing that he is entitled to legal immunity ordinarily afforded to federal agents – even if the lawsuit's allegations are true.
Halper did not explicitly admit to being an FBI informant in asking an Alexandria, Va. federal judge to throw out the case, and his filing followed legal rules that require defendants to assume that plaintiffs' factual allegations are true in the initial stages of litigation.
"Private individuals who participate in FBI investigations are subject to the federal common law qualified immunity applicable to government agents," as well as constitutional protections, Halper's motion to dismiss asserted.
The qualified immunity privilege exempts federal agents from litigation unless their violation of the law was so extreme that it broke an established statutory or constitutional duty of which a reasonable person would have been aware.
Nevertheless, Halper's motion to dismiss raised the prospect that the academic, Svetlana Lokhova, would have no recourse if the court accepted Halper’s claim. In her fiery complaint, Lokhova claimed that “Stefan Halper is a ratf---er and a spy, who embroiled an innocent woman in a conspiracy to undo the 2016 Presidential election and topple the President of the United States of America" by leaking false information to willing news reporters.

It is a fundamental principle of law that the law will not be interpreted so as to further the perpetuation of a fraud.
Send this bastard to Gitmo and put him on the waterboard.
I would like to know just how many governments he was working for. Because he had no allegiance to any that I could discern.
And I would like to know what his role was, in its entirety, in the Trump coup, to include what he knows about all the other conspirators.
We have ways to make this bastard talk.
Why bother spying if you can just make up your reports? /s
....Fat a$$ Halper needs to be in prison for a long time...
about as long as epstein was in jail and breathing...
FYI
Kind of hard to take this lady seriously if she’s calling somebody a rat@$@#$ in a court of law.
Well...
To be fair.
He is a ratf***er...
Halper wasn’t working for the DOD. From what was uncovered over a year ago, F_I buried his paycheck by drawing it from DOD funds.
Participating in a coup is not a legally protected act. Any nimrod would know this. So his protection should be invalid.
The fact that he asked for protection should be used against him now in treason charges.

ahhh
These Fibbers are too clever for themselves.
Is that legal?
“What difference does that make?” asked the co-leader of the most grievous crime in America's history: the coup d’etat ongoing by the previous administration against the current one.

So....if I work for the FBI I can commit any crime I want?
I don’t think it works that way.
