Here We Go – FBI Admits Using Spies Against Trump Campaign
Conservative Treehouse ^ | May 2, 2019 | Sundance

Posted on 05/02/2019 2:18:06 PM PDT by detective

A report in the New York Times, transparently timed and placed by officials within the intelligence apparatus trying to get out ahead of internal investigations, outlines how the FBI sent counterintelligence spies to engage with Trump campaign officials in 2016.

In a stunning admission The New York Times describes how the FBI enlisted a female agent to work the “operation” in the U.K. during August-September 2016 posing as an aide for U.S. intelligence asset/FBI informant Stefan Halper.

Halper was an FBI operative and Cambridge professor who set up meetings with Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos. The female agent used a fake name, Azra Turk, and presented herself as an assistant to Stefan Halper; however, she was actually an undercover intelligence operative of the FBI.

In other words:

"We did stuff that probably looks bad to 'ordinary' Americans, but we did these things in the best interest of the country, and we did them as legally as possible.

Trust us."

Uh, no.

“Is anyone going to jail for it?”

Honestly, if they don’t, the USA will not survive.

That is my feeling as well, but it’s really too late for them to avoid being “outed” as part of the “problem”.

Clapper can kiss my a.. because remember how Obama and that pustulent pile of putrescence Hillary cackled and mocked when Trump said someone was interfering in the election? And Obama went on national TV and said there was no threat of anyone doing anything?

All along in this Russia delusion I’ve wanted to see these detestable Democrats brought before Congress to testify on why they said there was nothing going on if at that very time they were justifying an illegal investigation with accusations of Russian interference in the election?

Were they incompetent or were they criminals?

Pick one. There is no other choice.

Clintonian strategy. Getting ahead of the IG report with leaking a bit of truth over a period of time to lessen the blow.

They are giving more ammo to Trump.

".... trying to get out ahead of internal investigations, ..."

Translation: Once it's guaranteed that the jig is up and investigations & indictments will be happening, engage the services of the MSM branch of the Deep State - usually the NYT or WaPo - to get the news out ASAP.

This way, when the DOJ announces the investigations & indictments down the road, the MSM will yawn so widely that their lower jaws come unhinged, and say: "Old news! Old, old, old, *OLD* news! Why, we covered that months ago. Why are you bringing it up again? We have better things to do. Go away. You're annoying us"

The NYT has been sitting on this for 2 years.

And now they release it because it diverts attention from the real spies. This lady was a bit player I suspect.

Japan is a tribe:

If there’s a perception of NO law —like right after a yuge Tsunami/nuke accident— things coast along okay.

See, even though they’re TERMED “law abiding”, the truth is Japanese people are NOT. What is actually happening is they’re following cultural NORMS, tribal norms they have been taught in a thousand different ways.

EVERYONE in Japan shares a background with nuuuumerous cultural touchstones, way, waaaaay more than the USA. What emerges absolutely APPEARS law-abiding, but it’s not that by design.

The multi-hued background of Americans doesn’t mean we have the same need for the law as Japan:

It means we have way, waaaaaaaay sharper need for it than Japan— no “norms” for us, that sh*t needs to be written down laser-sharp, in black and white. We need all those laws and PERFECT adherence at ALL levels.

Otherwise there will be TOTAL pandemonium, as we see in most American break-downs in order —we don’t have all those other things keeping us together like that Japanese, and we have muuuuch less now.

So if everyone actively SEES that there are two (or more) different versions of the law depending on who they are, like now, do you know what will happen..?

It will be much, much worse than the riots of South Central LA and it will be allll over the place.

IF the United States had any privacy in these matters then maybe we could carry out the mother of all perp-walks, trials, guilty verdicts and executions, away from the prying eyes and ears of our neighbors.

Dan Bongino did an amazing job interviewing George Papadopoulos!

Go watch that on Dan’s YouTube channel.

They covered all of this and more in the interview.

It’s obvious Comey is trying to gum up the works.

An op-ed attacking AG Bar yesterday, now this?

I think Comey is digging his own, obstruction of justice....grave!

Keep digging James!!!

Keep digging!!!

..... You ever notice that the FBI doesn’t ever use the term ‘spy’ in referring to any of its investigative techniques .... It is simply not allowed to be in their lexicon of terms.
That’s more than likely the reason why the FBI is upset at Barr for using that term. It’s a big BAD for them to use it.
