Kinda says it all...
Whitey Bulger should have played that card seeing as he was an FBI informant.
Ha haaaa! He’s entitled to the immunity afforded FIB informants but he denies he’s an FIB informant. Lock him up!
I can’t speak for the other 49 states, but in Georgia, if you’re a snitch, you can sometimes be granted the ability to stay confidential, even if you testify(if the appropriate argument is made to the court and its allowed. But it better be a rather compelling argument).
In federal court, if you’re a snitch for the FBI or any other agency, you’re going to court and you’re going to be on the stand for questioning. What/if the feds do anything for you after the fact, ie protect you/witness protection, is a different matter. But in federal court, if you’re a witness of any kind, snitch included, you’re there.
So, it would appear that he’s acknowledging he’s a snitch. And of course, since they all thought they’d get away with it and it would all be swept under the rug, he was cashing checks and thought he was home free. Not so fast. I wonder if Judicial Watch has asked for all the financial records associated with the original operation to see what payouts were given, what amount and to whom they were given to.
Halper is claiming an FBI sanctioned “license to smear”. Lovely.
Who brought this Halper guy into the FBI circles in the first place? Who started this mess? There’s some 400-page book waiting to be written on this guy and all the relationships that he claims to have. You would think he was some James Bond-type character.
A break like this might get Bagpipe Bob to stop blowing and open up some of those 598,781 sealed indictments that are kicking around Washington, DC.
A tortoise granted me the ability to float in the air.
So, the defendant can make a motion for dismissal on the basis of “I work for the government and therefore can commit crime and torts with impunity”, and does not even have to provide evidence that he was acting in his working for the government capacity? Why can’t we all make that claim whenever convenient?
This is a farce of Justice. Government must be required to follow the law it exists to enforce.
He’s not an FBI informant. That makes him sound like a citizen who called F-troop witty a concern. He is a long time CIA guy participating in a CIA/FBI coup.

Interesting reading.
Only those who are guilty try to claim immunity...
Fat a$$ Halper needs to be in prison for a long time.
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.
FYI
Kind of hard to take this lady seriously if she’s calling somebody a rat@$@#$ in a court of law.
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.
So....if I work for the FBI I can commit any crime I want?
I don’t think it works that way.
