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

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.

This story, if ever made into a movie (bwaahaha!), would make “All the President’s Men” look like an Easter egg hunt.

Say what you want, no other person could have disrobed more deep staters than Trump has.

Now they’re naked in public.

Note weasel word "largely".

Good catch. How about these weasel words "Russia effort"? Are they going to phase out collusion?

The initial Democrat/Media stance was that the mere suggestion that the Obama administration spied on the Trump campaign was false.

They now know that irrefutable evidence of this spying is going to come out in public -- in a big way.

So not the Democrat/Media narrative is that the Obama administration's surveillance of the Trump campaign was justified.

I have been operating all along with the assumption that Carter Page probably wasn't a victim of the FBI/CIA, but a complicit operative.

Modified limited hangout.

My bet is that Trump was being spied upon long before his formal anouncement.

:
British intelligence officials were also notified about the operation, the people familiar with the operation said, but it was unclear whether they provided assistance.

Why did the Times run the story?

So they can get a Pulitzer Prize for a story that is factually correct, for a change.

The story in the NYT was completely dishonest and obviously leaked by FBI insiders.


Yep. Wray is a self serving swamp snake in the mold of Comey. Without a doubt.

It completely undermines the narrative.


Not really. It justifies FBI conduct and puts firewalls around Obama/Biden and the rest of the Obama admin.

FBI Admits Using Spies Against Trump Campaign - to plant fake evidence, to justify massive illegal spying, on behalf of the Democratic Party, to steal the election.


There was no predicate crime. Obama’s minions must hang for this political spying.

I see no reason to conduct the spying op in a foreign country if the Obama admin was not asking for and getting assistance from other countries.

Someone high up needs to pay for this.

Otherwise, we are no longer a representative republic.

Hey dim lawmakers, you paying attention?
