Kim Strassel: FBI Got Caught Red Handed Kim Strassel describes outrageous spying on Trump campaign
WSJ reporter Kim Strassel on Fox News yesterday. Clip is set to begin at :55.
Its completely outrageous that the FBI used human intelligence to spy on the Trump campaign.
You got a problem with this? That just shows you got something to hide. /S

Good point. Bernadette Dohrn, Billy Ayers, and others were pleased.
-—the “spying” on Trump and his people was voluminous,-—
Trump was not the original candidate believed to be Hillary’s opponent in the presidential race.
Early on Jeb Bush was the favorite. Given what was donre to Trump, it is an iron clad certainty that similar action was taken toward Jeb Bush.

Wow. Just wow.
Bush was the conspirators dream candidate. There was no reason to work against him, in fact, I'm sure he was their first choice.
A sick old drunk was the fallback.
Stefan Halper is my prime candidate.
The Deep State would have been perfectly fine with McCain, Romney, OR Jeb Bush.
This is not about a sick old drunk getting elected, or not getting elected.
This is about making who wins the election irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
“I think the fan is about to get hit with some gooey stuff........ within two weeks. ... fingers crossed. “....
Like many others, I have been waiting for this to happen for a long time. Will it ever come? Let’s all hope it does and many go to prison, hopefully the right ones.
Your going to need a bigger gallows
I don’t know about Bush because he was deemed an insider. Trump was one of if not the only “outside” threat. I think this may have been cooked up a bit after the notion he could win began to surface. In fact, this may be the famous “insurance” play they were talking about over the the fBI. Recall all of the inner leaks that were coming at break neck pace. Meanwhile the main thrust is with the DNC/Hitlery/CIA cabal dossier event. The move to unseat trump had many facets. Now then, whom had control over these related but independent operations...where is it all linked up. Think Clapper and those he worked for.
I think there were FISA warrants for all 17 Republican Candidates.
There were to be no unturned stones to obstruct the coronation. They had unlimited money and the hired people were being paid to assure a win
Friday a caller said all the campaigns were under surveillance, and Rush said, “Why would anyone want to plant a spy in Jeb’s campaign?” LOL
(Not saying it didn’t happen, mind you.)
If there were warrants for all 17, we are just at the point of CW II, or REV II because that would seal it for sure.
Ironic, I always used to joke that it would not be in the best interest of our enemies to take out DC because they would lose all their fifth column operators. I guess I was not far off the mark.
Stefan Halper.
Check out this excellent piece a the Daily Caller by Chuck Ross:
EXCLUSIVE: A London Meeting Before The Election Aroused George Papadopouloss Suspicions
Check out this excerpt:
"...Halper first contacted Papadopoulos by email. In a Sept. 2, 2016, message sent to Papadopouloss personal email account, he offered the Trump aide $3,000 to write a policy paper on issues related to Turkey, Cyprus, Israel and the Leviathan natural gas field. Halper also offered to pay for Papadopouloss flight and a three-night stay in London.
Papadopoulos accepted the proposal, flew to England, and met with Halper and one of his assistants. He delivered the paper electronically Oct. 2 and received payment days later, according to documents The DCNF reviewed.
Halpers encounters with Papadopoulos were not the only encounters that the professor had with the Trump campaign.
Halper met campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page at a July 2016 symposium held at Cambridge regarding the upcoming election, Page told TheDCNF. The pair remained in contact for several months.
Halper also requested and attended a one-on-one meeting with another senior campaign official, TheDCNF learned. That meeting was held a day or two before Halper reached out to Papadopoulos. Halper offered to help the campaign but did not bring up Papadopoulos, even though he would reach out to the campaign aide a day or two later.
And in his meeting with Papadopoulos on 9/13/2016, only about a month before the FISA warrant was officially granted, out of the blue, and unsolicited, Halper said to Papadopolous:
George, you know about hacking the emails from Russia, right?
Now, why would he say that, completely out of context? Perhaps because he was wired? Trying to get Papadopoulos to say something like "Yeah...I discussed it with Alexander Downer..."
I think it was because they were getting desperate. They were poking and prodding at the Trump campaign like Japanese patrols poking and prodding at the Marine's front lines, probing for weaknesses, but not finding any. And they were running out of time. The election was only two months away, and they had to snare someone.
Remember...the FISA warrant was finally approved on the third try on October 21st, 2016. They had tried and failed to get the FISA in the summer of 2016 and were rejected, an extremely unusual result (The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court is famously compliant with surveillance requests, declining just 11 of the more than 33,900 it had received in 33 years as of 2013 or an approval rate of 99.97 percent (though that may be a slightly misleading number) and no requests were denied in 2014 and 2015, according to the Electronic Privacy Information Center)
They were getting desperate. But not to worry. They finally got their FISA warrant about a month later (Remember: FISA warrants are retroactive, which made any surveillance or spying done before that "legal", so they thought they were covered.) through a process that looks now like it was "fixed".
Stop make sense. No one wants to actually do anything. It is all a play.
I’m willing to accept that and take my lumps when this thing is over and done with and we learn that there really are 20,000 sealed indictments, etc etc.
And I’m also willing to accept that and take my lumps when I learn that this whole thing has been part of a grand master plan to expose and root out, all of it.
However, I do find it hard to believe that in our federal government, FBI, DOJ, that the thousands of sealed indictments can technically remain “secret” when the leaks seem so ubiquitous. Mind you, they have slowed down a bunch, coinciding with the departure and/or removal of certain people.
But there are so many things wrong with this whole thing and it is taking away from the man’s ability to do his job more effectively. And that is saying a lot, given how much he’s accomplished with all this BS.
We shall all wait and see.
Nice connecting the dots!
He’s definitely in on it.
But I don’t know if he’s the FBI source Kimberley has in mind, but won’t reveal without more evidence.
I’ve been hoping it’s someone actually embedded in the campaign, rather than someone on the outside only “interacting” with the campaign (like Halper).
Career bureaucrats do not take a leak without orders in writing, and backup memos to the file
As we all thought, but now being confirmed, these people are the lowest form of human on the planet. Let alone in powerful positions of our government.
The most frustrating thing of all of it for me is, not so much what the President is going thru, it’s how many “regular Joes” did they do this to. How many people have been spied on, railroaded, entrapped, etc “all for the glory of Rome/DC” and it’s corrupt leaders.
Think of the bankers and Wall St thugs that have gotten away with destroying peoples lives. That chick from Theranos, paid a $500k fine and cannot work there anymore, after ripping off people for millions. When the DOJ sues a company for fraud, etc, they win, they collect a fine, what about Joe 6-Pack? What does he get after being ripped off?
But, as you stated, they are all thieves that know they cannot trust each other, so they have the goods on one another as well. IE, Trump talking about the NY AG, years ago.
All it’s going to take is one person pulling the right threat and it all ends.
