Good Morning America! Unless you are @thamburger and @IgnatiusPost at WaPo whose day is about to get ruined. (THREAD) (1)

They have 'interesting' friends and sources. (2)

Tom Hamburger's job is to polish turds. He flew to Cambridge to clean up Halper's mess. Imagine, he managed to get Halper described as a patriot! washingtonpost.com/politics/cambr…

Remember, you must not never ever under any circumstances whatsoever called a spy on Trump campaign Halper, 'a spy on Trump campaign'. Washington Post wants you to refer to Halper as 'the FBI source who assisted the Russia investigation' Got it? (4)

So here is how Washington Post came into my life. On 1 March 2017, the same day as the Wall Street Journal were accusing me behind my back to my University colleagues, of having an affair with Gen Flynn, David Ignatius emails me. (5)

I never heard of Ignatius. But some reason my university professor, who I now understand is a friend of Ignatius, gave him my personal email address. Which was very nice as I have given birth few weeks earlier and still recovering from a shock of the WSJ attack (6)

It transpired that Ignatius has flown to England in March'17 to 'investigate' the fake story about Flynn and I based on one public dinner in 2014. You all know that story by now. Here is the email (7)

I received an email from my professor who encouraged me, a new mother with a 1 moth old baby, a woman who he knew has been accused of being a whore that morning by WSJ, to meet with a top WaPo reporter. Who wants to share insight on Gen Flynn. Remember: I met Gen once in 2014(8)

I had no idea about the Ignatius' role in bringing down Gen Flynn. But given that it was a second contact from a US paper on the same day, I was very suspicious. My partner issued a statement on my behalf which is a flat denial of any inappropriate relationships with Gen Flynn (9

Ignatius responded he understood. And nothing was published, because as he told me later, he interviewed witnesses at the 'Flynn dinner' and found nothing (10).

WSJ published their lies, followed by the Lying Luke from the Guardian. I contacted Ignatius to ask if he is planning to publish anything, and he said no as there is nothing and that if anyone else contacted me, to say he investigated and found nothing (11)

Roll forward May 2018, and Halper is exposed as FBI operative. Ignatius writes 'I'd like very much to ask you about Halper'. We spoke, & I caught him off-guard with a direct question: did he know he was a spy? To which he said 'I always found him very reliable', then hung up(12)

Next thing I know Tom Hamburger to Cambridge on a tidy up mission. WaPo must have a big budget to keep flying reporters across the pond to go after Gen Flynn and protect Stef Halper! (13)

Hamburger tries to interrogate me AGAIN over the Flynn dinner. I refer him to Ignatius. Then he tries the Kremlin penetration of the Cambridge Seminar line. I read him out Halper resignation email proving that Halper did not tell the truth (14)

We row for days. I tell him he is about to publish smears and untruths. He claims he has spoken to Richard Dearlove but later admitted it was 'sources close to' Dearlove, not Dearlove himself (15)

I told Hamburger (&have it time-stamped): 'You reveal you have not had contact with Dearlove. So if the principals in the story have not confirmed their knowledge/statements personally, then the journalists do not have evidence, but only hearsay, and this should be stressed. (16

I also told Hamburger that Halper's false allegation about Russian intelligence penetration of the Cambridge seminar has been investigated by outside Counsel and found 'no case to answer'. I said 'If anything, FBI (Halper), not SVR “penetrated” the Seminar.' (17)

I also confirmed that Gen Flynn DIA liaison Dan O'Brien had been on the record with WaPo to confirm he left 2014 dinner with Flynn and nothing happened. Now let's turn to what Hamburger wrote (18)

'During a dinner Flynn attended, Halper and Dearlove were disconcerted by the attention the then-DIA chief showed to a Russian-born graduate student who regularly attended the seminars, according to people familiar with the episode.' (19)

No mention of the fact that his colleague Ignatius interviewed everyone at dinner a year before, and there were no concerns. Interesting... (20)

So in turd-polishing 6 page article of May 2018, WaPo suppressed vital information: Halper has history of not being truthful. He did not tell the truth about his resignation, made up stories of Kremlin penetration, Gen Flynn and I etc (21)

I've previously made numerous complaints to the WaPo and have been ignored. So now I call on the @washingtonpost to retract the story by Tom Hamburger and print everything they know about the #Russiagate hoax. (22)

Separately, there has to be a public inquiry into the alarming links between WaPo reporters and those with access to Classified Information. (23). THE END
