Maybe Kash is doing something after all. Isn’t Halpen a CNN contributer?
Joseph Mifsud (born 1960)[1] is a British/Maltese academic, who had dual citizenship in the United Kingdom and Malta.[citation needed] In 2016, he became involved with George Papadopoulos, an advisor to the Donald Trump presidential campaign, and was later accused of being a link between that campaign and Russia. In 2018, he was described as missing, and an Italian court listed his location as “residence unknown”.[2] According to media reports, he was in Rome as of April 2019.[3]
Add Mifsud to the bad actors list... paging Gina Haspel, paging Gina Haspel, paging Gina Haspel.

Gina Cheri Walker Haspel (born October 1, 1956) is an American intelligence officer who was the seventh director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) from May 21, 2018, to January 20, 2021. She was the agency’s deputy director from 2017 to 2018 under Mike Pompeo, and became acting director on April 26, 2018, after Pompeo became U.S. secretary of state. She was later nominated and confirmed to the role, making her the first woman to become CIA director on a permanent basis.[1]

In a just world indictments would be drawn up. Kash was one of the first to expose this.

Seems too good for the bad guys....

Key Observations from Crossfire Hurricane Documents
The Crossfire Hurricane investigation, which examined potential links between the Trump campaign and Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, has been widely scrutinized. Based on available summaries and analyses, here are the key observations and conclusions:
1. Investigation’s Origins
Legitimacy of Opening: The investigation was initiated in July 2016 after the FBI received credible information from a foreign government about George Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign advisor, who allegedly had prior knowledge of Russia’s possession of damaging information on Hillary Clinton.
The Inspector General (IG) found that the investigation was opened with adequate factual predication and complied with FBI policies. There was no evidence of political bias or improper motivation in the decision to open the case.
2. Use of the Steele Dossier
The controversial Steele Dossier, funded by opposition research, played no role in initiating the investigation but was later used to support FISA applications for surveillance on Carter Page.
The dossier’s reliability was questioned as parts of it were unverified or inaccurate, leading to criticisms of its use in obtaining FISA warrants.
3. Procedural Errors
FISA Application Issues: The IG report identified significant errors and omissions in FISA applications targeting Carter Page:
Exculpatory evidence was excluded.
Heavy reliance was placed on unverified claims from the Steele Dossier.
These errors raised concerns about oversight and accountability within the FBI.
Despite these failures, there was no evidence that these errors were driven by political bias.
4. Political Bias Allegations
While some FBI agents involved in the investigation exchanged politically charged messages (e.g., Peter Strzok and Lisa Page), the IG concluded that these did not influence investigative decisions.
The report found no documentary or testimonial evidence suggesting political bias influenced the opening or conduct of Crossfire Hurricane.
5. Contacts Between Trump Campaign and Russia
The investigation uncovered multiple contacts between Trump campaign officials and Russian operatives:
Paul Manafort shared polling data with a Russian intelligence-linked individual.
Michael Flynn discussed U.S. sanctions with Russia’s ambassador.
George Papadopoulos communicated with intermediaries offering “dirt” on Hillary Clinton.
However, these findings did not establish a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia.
6. Missing Binder and Declassification Controversy
A binder containing sensitive intelligence related to Crossfire Hurricane was declassified by President Trump but later went missing at the end of his presidency. This raised concerns about potential exposure of classified methods and sources.
Efforts to release declassified materials have been hindered by privacy concerns and national security risks.
7. Broader Implications
The investigation highlighted systemic issues within the FBI, particularly regarding oversight of sensitive investigations like those involving FISA applications.
Critics argue that the procedural failures undermine public trust in federal law enforcement, while supporters maintain that investigating potential foreign interference was necessary.
Conclusions
Legitimate Basis: Crossfire Hurricane had a valid basis for initiation but suffered from significant procedural flaws during its execution.
No Political Bias Found: Despite allegations, there was no evidence that political bias influenced key decisions.
Systemic Failures: Errors in FISA applications and oversight reflect broader issues within FBI processes.
Continued Debate: The findings remain politically charged, with interpretations often shaped by partisan perspectives.
The investigation underscores the challenges of balancing national security concerns with procedural rigor and public accountability.
I don’t watch CNN..................
I really miss Bongino’s radio show, but he is just the guy, along with Kash Patel, to hose down the FBI good and proper.
The Russia-Democrat collusion pipeline. Hillary got what she paid for.
Many so-called INTELLIGENCE PROFESSIONALS are not much more than GRIFTERS…
It should be clear by now the entire Russia hoax was a DNC operation that employed state actors to perpetuate lies with a false veneer of credibility in order to manipulate the results of an election. The “election interference”’was not by Russia it was by agents paid with taxpayer funds and DNC lawyers. People want to trust the FBI, they want to trust the Dept of State, and it is hard for some to come to believe that these agencies are filled with tools who are all working towards a shared political outcome, willing to lie or look the other way at obvious lies and contradictions to achieve that outcome.
Stephan Halper was already under investigation from getting 1 million plus from DOD from the “Office of Net Assessment”
No wonder all these guys are rich living on Virginia horse farms.
You’re thinking of Mark Halpren, who is a Newsmax contributor. Different guy
3 and 2/3 years to go to prove Biden stole it, and nullify anything he signed including pardons.
Not too fast. This report just does not happen to mention the Russian who fed Stephan Halper his information.
It doesn’t mention Mifsud, either.
Hillary was playing footsie with actual Putin-friendly Russians.
