Shortly after Lt. @GenFlynn joined the 2016 Trump campaign, someone began contacting reporters spinning a tale about having seen him being courted by a female #Russian spy.
(Thread 👇) Commentary by Brian Cates @drawandstrike theepochtimes.com/its-time-for-s…
@GenFlynn @drawandstrike This person alleged to several media reporters that he suspected @GenFlynn had been successfully compromised by the #Putin government.
@RealSLokhova is a lecturer and author at @Cambridge_Uni who specializes in #Soviet intelligence studies who ended up being dragged…
…against her will into the center of one of the biggest political scandals of all time.
The person responsible for dragging Lokhova into the middle of this scandal is Professor #StefanHalper, once a fellow academic at @Cambridge_Uni, now retired.
@Cambridge_Uni Unlike with Professor Joseph #Mifsud, where strident denials are made that he was working for @FBI to entrap Trump campaign personnel, there’s no question that Halper is a Western intelligence asset.
Somehow Halper managed to spin one, single, completely innocent interaction between @GenFlynn and @RealSLokhova into something nefarious that placed both under suspicion.
Lokhova filed a lawsuit against Halper seeking $25 million in damages.
Halper should be ashamed of himself. And so should every member of the news media who let themselves be used to defame two innocent people.
