Current and former officials apparently so fearful that an FBI informants identity and role would be outed by congressional Republicans confirmed both to the New York Times and the Washington Post in an attempt to offer their own narratives first. Both outlets offered details that readily identify the informant but do not name him, citing concerns for his safety and warnings from U.S. intelligence officials.
The details, however, match a person described in the Daily Caller as Stefan Halper, a Cambridge professor and longtime Washington, D.C. fixture who worked for three Republican administrations and has links to U.S. and British intelligence.
The Times and Post are the first outlets claiming to have confirmed his identity, and to describe him in such detail as to match the description of Halper.
The accounts also indicate the FBI lied about when they first began surveilling the Trump campaign, or might have done so, without any particular intelligence.
FBI officials have said they began investigating the Trump administration on July 31, 2016, after stolen Democratic National Committee emails were released on July 22, 2016, prompting Australian officials to come forward with information they received from Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos months earlier.
Officials sold this version of events last year to the Times, which wrote on December 31, 2017, in a piece titled How the Russia Inquiry Began: A Campaign Aide, Drinks and Talk of Political Dirt:
when leaked Democratic emails began appearing online, Australian officials passed the information about Mr. Papadopoulos to their American counterparts, according to four current and former American and foreign officials with direct knowledge of the Australians role.
However the problem with that account is that the FBI informant had approached Trump campaign adviser Carter Page before that email release on July 22...

As a US citizen, Congress can (and will!) subpoena Stefan Halper soon as he is “officially outed.”
Watch for direct threats from Burr, Warner, Schiff, Lynch, etc. to the msm to not reveal his name...yes, they’ve already been doing it, but will escalate to defcon 1. This is for all the marbles. The Golden Key.
They have maybe 10 days before his name hits the five o’clock news. Then it’s over.
He’ll rat out Brennan.
Last night I had the misfortune to click on CNN just as an interview with Clapper was starting. He was asked about the investigation of the Trump campaign and basically said look, as an agency, it was our job to investigate what the Russians were doing and that is what we doing . This was a good thing. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/05/18/clapper_a_good_thing_if_fbi_had_someone_observing_russian_interactions_with_trump_campaign.html I thought well, there you go we are going to inundated with that crap for quite a while because now they (deep state) have hit the point where they dodged and weaved for so long that they are out of moves and this is really all theyve got left. On the other hand, I was left dumbfounded that Clapper hadnt figured out that when you are in a hole, stop digging. By pushing the narrative that they were just doing their job and this was a good thing, what can he possibly hope to accomplish? There is now so much evidence that totally disputes this not the least of which is the timeline.
>>The FBI mole was planted in the Trump campaign before he won the Republican nomination. Were the other Republican candidates deserving of an FBI mole in their campaigns or was Trump the only one not approved by the NWO ruling elite? Reasonable to conclude the rest were/are owned by the NWO pukes as are most in DC.
You make a great point there. A leader who speaks truth to the people must be stopped if the NWO is ever going to succeed in bringing the USA into the world of socialist states.
This shows that whole “Russian collusion” story was a lie, from the beginning.
First, Hillary’s smear-meisters Sid Blumenthal and Cody Shearer crafted a smear tailored to influence the demographic they were targeting in the election - suburban women.
Then, they sent spies out to frame innocent people, like bad cops planting evidence.
Then they used those framed as an excuse for wholesale spying on everyday of the Trump campaign, with bunches of Democratic Party operatives listening in and getting reports.
“Were the other Republican candidates deserving of an FBI mole in their campaigns?”
Now we know that the Obama Administration abused their spying powers for illegal political purposes - but we don’t yet know the full extent of their misconduct.
Were all the main presidential candidates spied upon? Senators and Congressmen? Supreme Court Justices and other judges in key cases? CEOs? Big donors? Previous election cycles?
How much blackmail was practiced with the fruits of illegal domestic spying?
Which begs the question: Why is the DOJ/FBI going to such lengths to protect the identity of Halper?
I say its because he has told them that if he is outed, he will tell everyone everything he knows.
And theyll all go to jail together.
That and probably how this Deep State Thug has been around presidents doing his thing since Nixon.
I wouldn't be surprised to find Bush fingerprints all over this.
“Did Halper pay taxes on the $282k he received?”
That’s a good question to ask him if he ever shows up alive after this.

Analysis
UPI NewsTrack - July 11, 1983
Author/Byline: IRA R. ALLEN
The swirling mystery of the 1980 briefing books in some ways parallels the Watergate scandal of a decade ago, and President Reagan is trying to make sure that whatever the result, no one can accuse him of managing a cover-up.
Spokesman Larry Speakes, a veteran of President Nixon's darkest hours in the White House, maintains Reagan has not asked directly for information from his staff precisely to avoid the appearance of a cover-up.
You can recall what happened to one other president who didn't keep hands off an investigation, he told reporters last week. Nobody can fault us for giving a full and free rein to the Justice Department and saying, Pursue it with vigor.
The main parallel between Watergate and the current controversy is that both had their genesis in an effort by campaign aides to figure out what the opposition had.
And the specter of the Central Intelligence Agency loomed prominently in both cases.
Nixon was forced to resign after admitting that he had, only several days after the incident, told the CIA of the June, 1972, break-in at Democratic headquarters, which his spokesman characterized as a third-rate burglary. The mastermind of the burglary was a former CIA operative, E. Howard Hunt.
While no fingers are pointing anywhere yet in the current controversy, there have been accusations that national security papers were passed to the Reagan campaign, whose manager was William Casey, now director of the CIA.
One former Reagan aide who denied a news report he was involved in a campaign intelligence ring, Stefan Halper, previously worked in the presidential campaign of Vice President George Bush, who was CIA director and Republican chairman when Nixon resigned.

“What a digusting fat traitor.
He should be hanged.”
Now, a quick and clean hanging might be a good option for him.
Gee wonder what the name of the informant they paid to be spying on killary campaign? Do I really need a sarc tag?
Bill Clinton’s Oxford buddy? The one who watched him pack his bags and leave after he was kicked out?
Im quite sure Professor Halper is in a jurisdiction where his testimony before Congress or, more importantly, a grand jury, cannot be compelled.
And Im also quite sure that he would not live 24 hours if he returned to the US in response to a subpoena.
In fact, his security team(s) are probably working overtime this very day. Heres a guy who goes back to NIXON, at least, who has had influence in every administration since then, and youre telling me nobody knows his name?
That is one VERY important critter. Who is now in grave (is there any other kind?) danger.
I wouldnt be surprised to find Bush fingerprints all over this
+1.
was that the last time Sessions actually was awake?
If Trump was colluding with the Russians, and the Obama Administration was supposedly looking for Russian campaign moles with their wiretaps, exactly why did they tap Trump's phones? If they believed that Trump was colluding the with Russians, then the Russians would have put the moles in Hillary's campaign, not Trump's! A Russian operative in the Trump camp would have done no good. They'd already know everything about the Trump side, if they were colluding. So, why didn't the Obama DOJ tap Hillary's phones, or even consider it? We all know why. The DOJ is clearly lying. The taps were politically motivated, to help the DNC and Hillary, as we have all known, all along. This latest lame lie is just another example of why voters are leaving the Democrat party in droves. They see through the corruption and nonsense, and have had enough. They cheated Bernie in the Primary, and they tried to cheat Trump as well, using every illegal means available. They care nothing about the voters, or the nation. They are out for control, period, by hook or by crook.
“Hell rat out Brennan.”
And it’s many more than Brennan.
And everyone who participated committed serious felonies. Everyone who had an office, and knew, committed a felony by not exposing it.
So far, it looks like only Rogers comes away clean in the entire Obama security apparatus. Because he personally told POTUS.
Excellent questions.
Will any of us live long enough to get the answers?
Where does the info on a 282k payment(s) to Halper come from....this is the 1st I have seen of a specific dollar amount altgpugh I always assumed he was paid something.
