Friday’s outing of longtime CIA and MI6 asset Stefan Halper as an FBI asset sent to infiltrate the Trump campaign has social media abuzz today. Reactions have ranged from celebration to outrage, with little inbetween.
To recap, after two weeks of hunting for a “mole” in the Trump campaign, the New York Times and Washington Post both printed incredibly detailed descriptions of Halper – withholding all but his name, solidly corroborating a March report by the Daily Caller‘s Chuck Ross about Halper’s meetings with the Trump aides. Neither publication give Ross credit, of course.
Somehow several anti-Trump intellectuals got their wires crossed, conflating President Trump and Senate Intel Committee Chair Devin Nunes’ calls for transparency by the DOJ, with the actual media outlets that exposed Halper.
Senior Brookings Institute fellow, and James Comey’s close friend, Benjamin Wittes is beside himself – angrily tweeting: “I have a whole lot to say about how the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and the President of the United States teamed up to out an intelligence source…,” adding in a subsequent tweet “But I am too angry to write right now—and Twitter is probably not the right forum. So I’ll leave it at this for now: Important people defiled their oaths of office for these stories to appear.”
I have a whole lot to say about how the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and the President of the United States teamed up to out an intelligence source who aided our country in a properly predicated counterintelligence investigation against a hostile foreign power.

To which Paul Krugman replied: “We’ve basically crossed the line into treason now — and a whole party is acquiescing”

Before Halper, there was the ‘insurance policy’ of dirtying up the players....
This article needs a fact checked
“Senate Intel Committee Chair Devin Nunes’”
I can’t believe anyone takes krugman seriously
The Wash Compost and NYT outed him.
Not by name but by information about him.
Enough information to draw a conclusion.
It seems to me the whole Obama administration is guilty of treason.
How can a economist moron like Krugman know what treason is?
Isn’t his expertise promoting himself as being a Nobel Prize in international banking which is pretty much useless.
But of course having won a NP makes him an expert on everything. Just ask any mind numbed leftist..
Well, Paul Krugman and Benjamin Wittes may well live to regret the day they brought up treason.
I’ve been willing to draw the line at conspiracy, sedition, and insurrection, but since they want to GO THERE - we’ve got plenty of ammo and plenty of rope, and plenty of helicopters if it comes to that.
The Paul Krugmans of America want to fight to the death over this? Not a wise choice on their part, but if so, so be it.
You can say anything you desire on Halper. The guy hasn’t been seen since October.
And the MSM as well.
Watch them turn this into another Skooter Libby case... Someone outed an FBI spy that was on a very important mission...
Classic misdirection by the leftist statists: Place a spy in the opposition party’s campaign. Get caught doing it. The spy is revealed, and then claim that revelation is “treason.”
no, you are correct. Conspiracy, sedition, and insurrection are very safe ground
Treason is a bridge to far.
The media and the left refuse to take a look at this. If taking a look into what has been declared to not have happened (the spying, surveillance, wire tapping, and obstruction of the Trump campaign and administration) then the acquiescence and treason are fairly leveled at them and not the GOP.
Yep, I thought he was in the House. Maybe he got a quick promotion. 😊😁
Anybody check Fort Marcy Park recently for freshly dumped bodies?

He doesn’t
He can’t even speak intelligently about economics
