The fun of the IG Report! It was Halper who then asked whether the team had any interest in an individual named Carter Page. Case Agent 1 said we "didn't react because at that point we didn't know where we were going to go with it"
We asked how Halper knew Carter Page. Halper told the Crossfire Hurricane team that he had known Trump's then campaign manager, Manafort, for a number of years and that he had been previously acquainted with Michael Flynn.
Case Agent 1 told the OIG that "quite honestly...we kind of stumbled upon [Halper] knowing these folks." He said that it was "serendipitous" and that the Crossfire Hurricane team "couldn't believe [their] luck" Anyone believe him?
