A Cambridge professor with deep ties to American and British intelligence has been outed as an agent who snooped on the Trump presidential campaign for the FBI.

Multiple media outlets have named Stefan Halper, 73, as the secret informant who met with Trump campaign advisers Carter Page and George Papadopoulos starting in the summer of 2016. The American-born academic previously served in the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations.



The revelation, stemming from recent reports in which FBI sources admitted sending an agent to snoop on the Trump camp, heightens suspicions that the FBI was seeking to entrap Trump campaign aides. Papodopoulous has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, while Page was the subject of a federal surveillance warrant.
"If the FBI or DOJ was infiltrating a campaign for the benefit of another campaign, that is a really big deal," President Trump tweeted Saturday, calling for the FBI to release additional documents to Congress.

The Halper revelation also shows the Obama administration's FBI began prying into the opposing party's presidential nominee earlier than it previously admitted.

Halper's sit-downs with Page reportedly started in early July 2016, undermining fired FBI Director James Comey's previous claim that the bureau's investigation into the Trump campaign began at the end of that month.

Halper made his first overture when he met with Page at a British symposium. The two remained in regular contact for more than a year, meeting at Halper's Virginia farm and in Washington, DC, as well as exchanging emails.

The professor met with Trump campaign co-chair Sam Clovis in late August, offering his services as a foreign-policy adviser, The Washington Post reported Friday, without naming the academic.

Clovis did not see the conversation as suspicious, his attorney told the paper — but is now "unsettled" that "the professor" never mentioned he'd struck up a relationship with Page.

Days later, Halper contacted Papadopoulos by e-mail. The professor offered the young and inexperienced campaign aide $3,000 and an all-expenses-paid trip to London, ostensibly to write a paper about energy in the eastern Mediterranean region.

It is not clear if the professor was paid to speak with Trump campaign figures, but public records show that he has received large payments from the federal government in the last two years.

The Department of Defense's Office of Net Assessment — a shadowy think tank that reports directly to the secretary of defense — paid Halper $282,000 in 2016 and $129,000 in 2017.

And so it begins. This may be the turning point, where everything the Marxists did, is all coming back on them 10.000 fold.

I normally put these in Trump Tweets, but I thought it fit better here. Note how he's setting the narrative for the week to come, all the focus is going to be on dim corruption.
Warming the leads, adding flux for the final weld?

....and why hasn't the Podesta brother been charged and arrested, like others, after being forced to close down his very large and successful firm? Is it because he is a VERY well connected Democrat working in the Swamp of Washington, D.C.?

What ever happened to the Server, at the center of so much Corruption, that the Democratic National Committee REFUSED to hand over to the hard charging (except in the case of Democrats) FBI? They broke into homes & offices early in the morning, but were afraid to take the Server?

Now that the Witch Hunt has given up on Russia and is looking at the rest of the World, they should easily be able to take it into the Mid-Term Elections where they can put some hurt on the Republican Party. Don't worry about Dems FISA Abuse, missing Emails or Fraudulent Dossier!

...in the Hillary Clinton Campaign where she deleted 33,000 Emails, got $145,000,000 while Secretary of State, paid McCabes wife $700,000 (and got off the FBI hook along with Terry M) and so much more. Republicans and real Americans should start getting tough on this Scam.

I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes - and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!

Good for Trump!

If this is true it is Gestapo and KGB stuff. If Sessions does not follow through he should be replaced immediately as should Rosentein. I realize getting a replacement AG would be a challenge I believe an acting AG can be put in place.

Oh, it's moving forward alright, Sessions has over 2000 sealed indictments at the ready, and this is all part of the big push about to take place.
I think this is why Trump is stealing next weeks narrative today, he wants to seize up what the LSM planned, but this will be headline news all week as the process unfolds.

I could be Bassackwards on this, but I don't think so...

Repeating, voted for Trump and wish him well.
Yet daily it's merely another collaborator and another tweet.
No penalty is paid by that disloyal scumbag, Sessions,
by Rosenstein, by Wray and the rest of their posse.
The DoJ and FBI simply carry on w/their index finger extended,
while the R buffoons ventilate their bullshit excuses on FOX.
The wise of the past told us, "Leaders must know their enemy"
and as well, "Let enemies hate as long as they fear."
The Establishment urinates on Trump every second of the day
because they have no fear of him; knowing he will simply utter
another tweet.
Words may get our attention but only actions change behavior.

IF this is true then I will have lived to see some justice done in my life time.

Trump setting next weeks narrative part is true, but the question is whether it's for distraction, as he does something even more meaningful while the left is distracted? Or as I say, this is a possible beginning of his assault on the Dims....
Next week is going to be interesting.

I have maintained all along that Trump and Crew were waiting for the right moment, I beleive that moment is close. I have also maintained that the more this Mueller Investigation goes on, the more wrongdoing by the Obamanoids would be exposed. That has proved itself true.

I think there is a 3rd side to all this. Slowly, ever so slowly, these transgressions and VIOLATIONS OF THE LAW have been surfacing. IT IS CHANGING PUBLIC OPINION, and by Public opinion I mean the "Dems", the real Dems not the leftist bolsheveiks. Look at Trumps approval numbers, people are begining to wise up.

This last one, the FBI SPY in the Trump campaign I think was the final push over the edge. That is a blantant violation of the law. If the GOVT inserted an informant into a political campaign without FIRST having evidence of a serious (probable cause) that is a grevious offense both criminally and civilly.

And make no mistake, if the FBI opened an "investigation" into Trump by first inserting an informant or recruiting one within they would HAVE To HAVE JUSTICE DEPT APPROVAL.

One more point then I'll shut up. Remember when a video of Mitt Romeny surfaced in  PRIVATE fundraiser dinner, talking about 47%?  That was also the work of a SPY within the Romney campaign....had to be.

A foreigner being used as a spy by the FBI inside a presidential campaign. Is that legal?

You're Right Biilly, and you're spot on about public perception. Q has mentioned this many times, in fact, he stated this is the reason he posts, is to get the truth out and prepare the country for the biggest bomb to be dropped in the history of the country (paraphrased mine).
He explained that leftist media would never tell the truth and that it takes Patriots like us to disseminate the truth to the public so they will be expecting and demanding convictions.
