Halper’s first victim was @GenFlynn. The IG is “scrutinizing another early source of information for the Russia investigation: Mr. Horowitz's investigators have been asking questions about the role of Stefan A. Halper, another F.B.I. informant, and his prior work for the bureau.”
Why is it always Halper? Is he the best FBI can come up with? “Agents involved in the Russia investigation asked Mr. Halper, an American academic who teaches in Britain, to gather information on Mr. Page and George Papadopoulos”
“Mr. Halper also had additional contacts with other Trump officials that have raised concerns about his activities. In one instance, Mr. Halper reached out to Sam Clovis, a Trump campaign aide; it was not clear whether Mr. Halper had the F.B.I.’s blessing to contact Mr. Clovis.”
NYT: “Mr. Halper’s contacts have prompted Republicans and the president to incorrectly accuse the F.B.I. of spying on the campaign.” President was spot on to call out the spying on his campaign. He smoked out Halper and forced NYT and WaPo to confirm Halper spied on @GenFlynn
What’s outrageous is that spying on Gen Flynn took place months before the DNC hack. And after 2 years of investigation, Gen Flynn did not collide with Russia at all.
