Shame on you Jow Forums for letting this slide in less than 24 hours. The Obama Administration tried to institute one party rule using the intelligence agencies and only failed by a margin of 100,000 votes. This is the biggest threat to our Republic. Ever.
>The New York Times has essentially outed the CIA and FBI informant as Stefan Halper tonight in yet another lengthy justification article citing the reasoning from the perspective of the corrupt intelligence officers who conducted the surveillance and spying operation against the Trump campaign.
>Two things to remember: First, they denied all of this for eighteen months. Second, these are their leaks, their story, their version; delivered via their spin, from the people who were conducting the scheme against the Trump campaign:
>NYT: The informant, an American academic who teaches in Britain, made contact late that summer with one campaign adviser, George Papadopoulos, according to people familiar with the matter. He also met repeatedly in the ensuing months with the other aide, Carter Page, who was also under F.B.I. scrutiny for his ties to Russia... >they took steps, those officials said, to ensure that details of the inquiry were more closely held than even in a typical national security investigation, including the use of the informant to suss out information from the unsuspecting targets... >The informant offered [to George Papadopoulos] a $3,000 honorarium for the paper and a paid trip to London, where the two could meet and discuss the research project. >Mr. Papadopoulos replied that he had no insight into the Russian campaign — despite being told months earlier that the Russians had dirt on Mrs. Clinton in the form of thousands of her emails.
>[Papadopoulos'] RESPONSE CLEARLY ANNOYED THE INFORMANT, WHO TRIED TO PRESS MR. PAPADOPOULOS ABOUT WHAT HE MIGHT KNOW
This story is too big to be hidden. Yesterday it was in WSJ, NYT, WaPo, AP, CNN, MSNBC, Fox, CNBC, and dozens of smaller outlets. They are trying to spin it. The DoJ is really digging their own grave. They have been leaking non-stop since Wednesday in a desperate effort to control the narrative before Congress forces the truth out.
The DoJ has already leaked enough information that it's incontrovertible that the State Department was also involved. The whole thing reeks to high heaven and there's a President shaped hole missing in the story.
Oh wait, President Obama "want[ed] to know everything we're doing" on September 2, 2016. "We" is Peter Strzok, FBI agent assigned that same day to meet with Alexander Downer, an Australian diplomat, in London later that month. The author isn't retarded, the anonymous DoJ leakers may well be.
There is speculation that the CIA was involved, due to strange statements John Brennan has made over the last year, as well as Senator Harry Reid's letter in August 2016. This is BEFORE the informant met with the FBI, but after he met with Carter Page. It's a week before the FBI decided to have Halper lure Papadopoulos to London with a job offer.
You don't need a warrant to try to entrap someone either. Ask yourself a question, if the FBI merely wanted to stop Russian interference with the Trump campaign, why did they not warn anyone in the Trump campaign? Why was the only warning given a single, underreported joint statement by Homeland Security and Office of the Director of National Intelligence addressed to the general public and state election boards?
>The U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations. The recent disclosures of alleged hacked e-mails on sites like DCLeaks.com and WikiLeaks and by the Guccifer 2.0 online persona are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts. These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the US election process. Such activity is not new to Moscow—the Russians have used similar tactics and techniques across Europe and Eurasia, for example, to influence public opinion there. We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia's senior-most officials could have authorized these activities.
>General Michael Flynn Flynn attended a dinner in Moscow (Jill Stein also attended) in December 2015 and was paid to speak there.
>George Papadopoulos He told an Australian diplomat in a bar that he had heard Russia had hacked Hillary Clinton's e-mails (the ones on her private server) before Wikileaks released the DNC e-mails. There were rumors at the time saying the same, as well as rumors that Wikileaks had them.
>Paul Manafort As has been reported since 2006, Paul Manafort worked as a lobbyist for a Ukrainian politician with ties to the Kremlin. He was investigated by the FBI for this in 2014-2015, but no charges were pressed and the investigation was closed.
>Carter Page Carter Page was the target of a Russian spyring's attempt to recruit unwitting Americans for use as intelligence assets. Page cooperated with the FBI and gave testimony that ultimately led to the arrest and prosecution of one of the Russian spies, the rest were allowed to leave the country without charges by the Obama administration.
We came within a hair's breadth of the Dems succeeding too, with their token "never trump" Republicans acting as the foil to keep their own party system dressed up enough to to have an MSM defense. So dang close. No wonder they have lost their minds after watching divine intervention slip that triumph through their fingers. The whole globalist cabal has been thrown into disarray in their attempt to fight this, which shows how vital yet sure-of-itself this her turn plan of theirs was. But unless we ferret out this corruption now, they will just try again later. We have then exposed due to their brazen reckless arrogance, and we need to bring them to the justice of the laws and courts they violated.
Here is The Official Spin you're going to hear repeated by every fingers in their ears mindless drone democrat
>FBI officials concluded they had the legal authority to open the investigation after receiving info that George Papadopoulos was told that Moscow had compromising info on Clinton, according to NYT.
>NYT says there's no evidence it was a political move.
> These actions is what they feared from moment Trump won and will play out in this Russia bullshit Trump administration to provide records on Obama-era gun-smuggling probe I’d like to this farcical and corrupt investigation, by Mueller, come to an end. > But, lately I’m shifting to wanting it to go on a little more, because it seems like everything that has happened has done nothing but expose the treachery, criminal behavior, corruption, lies and deceit from DOJ, FBI, CIA, NSA, Democrats in Congress, MSM, and most importantly, the obama administration. I’m pretty convinced that the President has a treasure trove of information, about EVERYTHING, all the dirt, and that is why he’s doing what he’s doing. Letting it all play out. Giving all of them all the rope they need. But, now we’re learning that obama’s FBI/CIA, Intel apparatus had a spy in the campaign and was actively trying to recruit snitches for dirt on the campaign and on Donald Trump. If true and proven, my money is that the President is going to unleash the, Hounds of Hell, on obama. Releasing these records, on Fast & Furious, is a signal that obama should start talking to lawyers or head to a non-extradition country. >The President is taking this man’s legacy apart. Not that there’s much of one.
Not even the reliably progressive lefty blogs are handling this well motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2018/05/in-huge-disappointment-the-fbis-super-secret-trump-informant-turns-out-to-be-stefan-halper/ >So it’s unclear what’s really going on here. Halper does not, in fact, appear to be someone in need of the highest levels of secrecy. The fact that he was pretty friendly with establishment intelligence services was well known. On the other hand, he also obviously wasn’t an FBI “spy,” as the Trump camp keeps claiming. He was just a well-connected guy who could chat with targets of FBI investigations without raising suspicions that they were targets of FBI investigations. I don’t see anything especially untoward about this, but neither do I really understand the scorched-earth campaign to prevent Congress from knowing what Halper told the FBI. It’s all very strange.
Remember that this is only one aspect of the many pronged effort to secure one party rule. Chris Steele and the dossier don't fit into this at all. Remember when the press said that dossier was the whole reason for the Trump/Russia investigation? Seems like that narrative died after Hillary admitted to paying for it. What's the excuse now? Stormy Blackmailers?
On that note, how will the press play this out on Monday? They got to downplay it Friday because of that school shooting. Well...
X = 'I hate Trump'
The FBI investigation was proper because X Trump is a liar because X Trump is unfit because X Trump is a foreign agent because X
. . . and so on. Insanity. Complete and total surrender to the id.
What lies just below the surface is that, while these people do indeed hate Trump, hatred itself is not the primary motivation. >Trump is a lethal threat to the political class. He has found a way to begin to mobilize the common people against their oppressors and the political class knows that. They are literally fighting for their existence and imposing insanity as a frame of reference for everything is the weapon.
And I'm going to bed. Eurofags seemed to have basically zero interest in this scandal today, but it's Sunday morning for them now. One does wonder what they think about while they're feeling guilty for never going to church anymore. They used to seem so interested in our politics.
While I agree with this assessment, when the fuck is SOMEBODY going to move on this? As has been pointed out time and again, the information is already out there to bring real proceedings in the courts. Seriously, is somebody waiting for a video or what?

Unfortunately, a majority of the government consists of swamp creatures, and swamp creatures look out for one another. There will never be a clean sweep, we'll never see honest politicians.
At best, some low ranking stooge will spend a few months in prison for something that borders on treason. The lugenpresse will briefly mention this, and then go back to pushing whatever agenda they are being paid to push that day.
Mason Young
IG Horowitz' report on the Clinton e-mail investigation was finished last week and will be published before the end of the month. The same bad actors were responsible for both investigations and there will be enough political will for Congress to force the appointment of a special counsel.
You mean like the current special council? Fuck that shit. The documents are out now, at least the ones that have been leaked, and its enough to put anyone away. For fucks sake, Clinton had SAP stuff on private servers. I want justice as much as others who have been paying attention, but sooner or later someone has to make a move, or this all will be memory holed.

sorry but the Eu is about o crash and burn thanks to us, we don't have time for your politics. I'll bump this anyway.

ẅhole thing reeks of entrapment, obongo, deep state shinanigans. using alphabet agencies to attack a lawful pres. cannidet to bennefit your own parties. i hope this is the way this plays out. it will go down as one of biggest abuses of government power in history. and forever expose the absolute treasones state of the dumbocrat party.
