Is The Washington Post, New York Times and CNN Now Declaring Professor Mifsud is *NOT* A Russian Asset?…
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 12-4-19 | Sundance

Posted on 12/05/2019 7:21:53 AM PST by outpostinmass2

The CIA primarily leaks PR spin to the Washington Post. The FBI primarily leaks PR spin to the New York Times; and the State Dept. primarily leaks PR spin to CNN. This narrative distribution model is the one constant in an ever changing universe.

Cue the audio visual… Obviously the prior Washington Post effort to conflate the Durham investigation with the Horowitz investigation didn’t get the desired result. As a consequence it only took a few days before the Washington Post was back at it (Matt Zapotosky and Devlin Barrett again) to try obfuscation 2.0; this time with Joseph Mifsud. For three years the New York Times, Washington Post and CNN have sold the FBI claim that Professor Joseph Mifsud was a Russian operative passing information about Clinton’s emails to George Papadopoulos.

That essential point underpins their defense of the predicate for the CIA and FBI to open the July 31st investigation of the Trump campaign. Again, for three years Joseph Mifsud was sold as a Russian operative; working on behalf of Russian interests.

That “Mifsud is a Russian asset” claim is the fulcrum of Crossfire Hurricane. Mifsud has to be a Russian asset, or else… George Papadopoulos talking to Australian Diplomat Alexander Downer about Mifsud is simply political gossip without merit, value or bearing.

The key point is Mifsud has to be a Russian operative in order for all of the downstream FBI activity to be justified. If Mifsud ain’t Russian, the CIA and FBI have a problem.

Which one, Russian asset or CIA asset? The Democrats have a big problem which ever way they pick. And there is no third door.

I’m impressed by what appears to be wonderful timing and coordination.

IG report coming out Dec 9.
Mifsud outed as Russian asset/not Russian asset
Democrats jump all in with articles of impeachment.

There is no going back now, I think, and the Dems have nothing, and their position is weakening. I think the SHTF in less than a week.

Mifsud is about as close as they come....to being a carbon copy of Hillary’s Sidney Blumenthal. Mifsud was probably just a plain academic intellectual type up until 2010, then he got continual invitations to Moscow. There, he’s hooked up with some think-tank....financed by some Russian billionaire group.

When 2016 comes up...some of these Trump campaign people pull out his name, and there’s an introduction. How these Trump campaign folks got introduced to the guy? Unknown. But there is this German lawyer (serious investor type) that had connections to the think-tank, and to the Trump crew (Roh is the guy’s last name).

I think Mifsud may not grasp the intentions of who paid for his trips or the chatty-stuff in Moscow within the private think-tank. Roh, and the Russians have some kind of script....which probably has nothing to do with the Democrats, or the Ukrainians, or with the Russian government.

If it all starts to sound like a 2-star James Bond script and some evil billionaire types running around in the Med on 20-million-dollar luxury yachts? Well...yeah, that’s pretty much the idea.

Thanks for posting.

Very interesting article. I had just read it this morning and checked to see if it was already posted.

Yes.

CIA leaks/spins to Washington Post
FBI leaks/spins to New York Times
State Dept. leaks/sprins to CNN (AT&T)

All lie to the nation 24/7 for money. Follow the money?

This MUST END!

Mifsud is a known player.

Mifsud on the left...how ironic.

I posted this in another thread, and it applies here:

This whole thing is starting to remind me of that scene in Rain Man, where Cruize tries to get Hoffman to board an airplane.

It starts with “uh oh.”, and ends with absolute hysterics. And this week is the ramp to the airplane called the IG report.

i.e. it’s gonna get worse. :)

For those wanting to visit the original documents, here is one place to start digging.

https://www.scribd.com/document/431949856/US-v-Flynn-DE-129-2

Case 1:17-cr-00232-EGS Document 129-2 Filed 10/24/19 Page 1 of 37.
Look at the footnote on page 15.

I started my search on StartPage using the following terms in quotes, "Stefan Halper is a known long-time operative for the CIA/FBI.".

Third door: blanket exoneration by Horowitz

(Not trying time be a concern troll or to predict, just adding a point)

Horowitz is only looking at the FBI. His scope is limited.

“there is no third door.”

Well, technically he could be a British asset, or a French asset, or an Italian asset, etc.

If the CIA used Misfud what would that make him?

Player? Yep. If he is still alive.

Pelosi just played. It is time to expose all of the Coup Plotters, including her.

As Dan Bongino has been saying for over a year, Mifsud was not a Russian Asset, he was a *Western* Asset.

And it appears that the *Western* country is Italy.

That hole should be able to hold Brennan after his execution for treason. Glad to see that someone was prepared for it.
