Trump Campaign Spy’s Past Exposed: Worked to Flip Past Pres. E******n Too as CIA Spook

The political scandal of the decade is brewing in Washington, D.C., and it may leave President Donald Trump in a very different position than his enemies wish: Not destroyed, but largely vindicated.
Details have finally started to emerge about an establishment-led effort to plant a “mole” within the Trump campaign, and evidence is beginning to mount that its goal was to undermine and derail his run for office.
The facts are suggesting something chillingly sinister: A government operative directed by the Obama-run FBI purposely infiltrated the campaign of a candidate with the training and background needed to destabilize e******ns.
In a detailed piece published by The Intercept, investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald summarized the scandal and gave a blow-by-blow account of how its beginning to unravel.
“Over the past several weeks, House Republicans have been claiming that the FBI, during the 2016 e******n, used an operative to spy on the Trump campaign, and they triggered outrage within the FBI by trying to learn his identity,” he explained.
“The controversy escalated when President Trump joined the fray on Friday morning. ‘Reports are there was indeed at least one FBI representative implanted, for political purposes, into my campaign for president,’ Trump tweeted.'”
Amazingly, FBI and Department of Justice sources did not deny this claim. It’s worth remembering that while the media and DOJ insiders were laughing and dismissing Trump’s accusations a year ago — especially regarding wiretapping and the Steele dossier — he has been proven right on almost every point.
Nobody is laughing now. Instead, they’re scrambling to cover their tracks.
“On May 8, the Washington Post described the informant as ‘a top-secret intelligence source’ and cited DOJ officials as arguing that disclosure of his name ‘could risk lives by potentially exposing the source, a U.S. citizen who has provided intelligence to the CIA and FBI,'” Greenwald reported.
That was almost certainly a last-ditch effort to protect the mole and save face. Then came the threats.
“The top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Mark Warner … actually threatened his own colleagues in Congress with criminal prosecution if they tried to obtain the identity of the informant,” Greenwald reported.
Journalists, including Greenwald and veteran gumshoes at several major media outlets, didn’t stop. After a few rounds of newspaper one-upmanship, the mole’s name has been revealed.
“As a result of some very odd choices by the nation’s largest media outlets, everyone knows the name of the FBI’s informant: Stefan Halper,” Greenwald wrote.
Here’s the truly important and shocking part: Halper is no run-of-the-mill FBI operative. He has a history of being involved in shady CIA operations to infiltrate and derail U.S. e******ns.
“To begin with, it’s obviously notable that the person the FBI used to monitor the Trump campaign is the same person who worked as a CIA operative running that 1980 P**********l e******n spying campaign,” Greenwale wrote.
Yes, it was Halper, a former Nixon insider and the same man at the center of the anti-Trump scandal today.
Nearly 40 years ago, a largely buried scandal was playing out in Washington. In involved some famous Republicans, including old names that even today are firmly in the “Never Trump” camp.
“Halper was responsible for a long-forgotten spying scandal involving the 1980 e******n, in which the Reagan campaign — using CIA officials managed by Halper, reportedly under the direction of former CIA Director and then-Vice-P**********l candidate George H.W. Bush — got caught running a spying operation from inside the Carter administration,” the Intercept explained.
In other words, there may be a structure within the foreign policy and intelligence communities that goes back to at least the time when George H.W. Bush ran the CIA.
That behind-the-scenes power structure — “Deep State,” to borrow the term — was on the side of Hillary Clinton and believed that Trump needed to be stopped at any cost.
One look at the now-public text messages from FBI officials in the weeks and months leading up to the 2016 e******n definitely seems to support this. And it’s worth pointing out that the now 93-year-old George H.W. Bush admitted to supporting Hillary Clinton.
By any measure, the Bush dynasty has not been friendly to Trump.
“Wh**ever else is true, the CIA operative and FBI informant used to gather information on the Trump campaign in the 2016 campaign has, for weeks, been falsely depicted as a sensitive intelligence asset rather than what he actually is: a long-time CIA operative with extensive links to the Bush family who was responsible for a dirty and likely illegal spying operation in the 1980 p**********l e******n,” explained Greenwald.
“For that reason, it’s easy to understand why many people in Washington were so desperate to conceal his identity, but that desperation had nothing to do with the lofty and noble concerns for national security they claimed were motivating them,” he added.
Deep operatives. E******n i**********e. Moles and spies deployed against a candidate by our own government agencies.
It’s a chilling picture, but one that all of the evidence so far supports. There’s a power struggle of shadows within the swamp in Washington, and it is at odds with the American people and their sovereign voice.

Reports: FBI informant interacted with Trump campaign
Last Updated May 19, 2018 5:34 PM EDT
The FBI used a retired American professor as an informant to interact with Trump campaign officials while the bureau looked into possible ties between Russia and members of the campaign, according to new reports in The New York Times and The Washington Post.
The informant's identity is not disclosed by the publications. The Post said it didn't publish the name after U.S. intelligence officials said doing so might endanger the source or the source's connections.
The reported FBI interaction with the Trump campaign appeared to worsen already tense relations between President Trump and his allies in Congress, and the Justice Department and intelligence agencies. On Friday, Mr. Trump tweeted that the FBI "implanted" someone in his campaign, although that isn't how the Post and Times described the informant's role. Mr. Trump drew on his tweets about an FBI official "spy" after a National Review column speculated about the possibility last week.
"Reports are there was indeed at least one FBI representative implanted, for political purposes, into my campaign for president," Mr. Trump tweeted Friday. "It took place very early on, and long before the phony Russia H**x became a 'hot' F**e News story. If true — all time biggest political scandal!"
Mr. Trump again tweeted about the possibility of the DOJ and FBI "infiltrating" his campaign Saturday afternoon.
The FBI informant, according to the Post, interacted with then-Trump campaign officials George Papadopolous, Carter Page and Sam Clovis as the FBI probed possible ties between campaign associates and the Kremlin. The Russia investigation, which special counsel Robert Mueller started leading in May 2017, was formally opened in July 2016, reportedly after Papadopolous told an Australian diplomat over drinks in London that he understood Russia had dirt on p**********l contender Hillary Clinton.
In the summer of 2016, according to the Times, an FBI intelligence source offered Papadopolous a $3,000 honorarium to write a research paper about a gas field in the Mediterranean Sea and travel to London to talk about it. Papadopolous did so, and while he was in London, the FBI informant asked him about any campaign contacts with Russia, the Times reports.
Page told the Post he and the informant had "extensive discussions," meeting several times in the D.C. area, but he didn't recall exactly what they discussed two years ago.
Clovis' attorney, Victoria Toensing, told the Post that Clovis met with the informant for coffee once in late summer of 2016 just outside of D.C.
Reports of the FBI informant come amid an already tense relationship between Mr. Trump and the DOJ and intelligence agencies, with the president frequently calling the Russia probe looking into any ties between his campaign and Russia a "witch hunt."
The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Yes!
Moldy; most of us here are sure that you will never figure it out. This post proved it.
FBI plants in a campaign by the opposition to find dirt, in not only unethical, it is a crime.
Hopefully; It will be dealt with appropriately, with some indictments and trials.

You do realize that these people were under investigation, individually, not the campaign.
