Discussion: NYT: Papadopoulos, Page Met With ‘Govt Informant’ Ahead Of Election

Yes, this is all about Obama, that ineffectual, diabolical, feckless tyrant, with his enemies list. Just like Nixon, but of course, Nixon was righteous so it was okay.

Whoever it was, he or she wasn’t informing by reporting back. This no doubt involved a wire, which means these fucktards are probably on tape incriminating themselves and others and won’t be able to weasel out of it with claims the informant is a ruse and a liar and was merely planted to spy on them in order to give fake credibility to false accusations.

Yeah, but what can the informant tell them? That Papadopoulas brought him cold coffee? And no one connected to the campaign ever heard of Carter Page?

See. Nothing to see.

Did you go to parochial school? “I” think he needs to have a good conversation with Brother Disciplinarian.

I definitely got the impression that Rudy and Hannity thought rich white guys should not be treated the same as others by law enforcement.

Rich white guy lives matter, especially if they’re your friends or lawyers.

Wait, this is too good. How many TREASON BELLS have to ring, before anyone was awakened with the 2016 activities of Page & Papadopoulos?

The RW talking heads are in a kerfuffle because the FBI was looking into whether there were extraordinary contacts going on between Carter Page & George Papadopoulos and the RUSSIANS?

Well, Papadopoulos already PLED GUILTY to lying to the FBI about his contacts with the Russians during the Campaign. So what more need be said?

For Carter Page, he traveled to Russia, made anti-American speeches in Russia, worked in the Russian natural gas & oil industry, and was identified as a potential asset by known Russian spies (At least one such Russian was later convicted, now doing time). Carter was, in fairness, rejected by the Russian agents as a potential asset because the Russians deemed him an “enthusiastic idiot” [Their characterization, not mine].

If only Carter Page and/or George Papadopoulos were African-American. THEN, it would have been fine for law enforcement to follow them around 27/7. Or shoot them. With pathetically few questions asked.

Here’s what I did:

  1. Looked up TM on the Googleator.

  2. Got to this listing on page 1 of the results:

Trademark symbols ™ (type TM and ® text signs on keyboard)
fsymbols.com › computer
Meaning of ™, ® and ℠ ™ tm for an unregistered trademark, that is, a mark used to promote or brand goods; ℠ sm for an unregistered service mark, that is, a mark used to promote or brand services; ® r for a registered trademark.The owner of a registered trademark may commence legal proceedings for trademark infringement to prevent unauthorized use of that trademark.

  1. Copied the small ™ and pasted it right into my message.

Conservative media figures from Wall Street Journal columnist Kimberly Strassel to radio host Rush Limbaugh have spent the last few days raising alarms about what they claim was an FBI informant dispatched to “spy” on the Trump campaign.

You spelled “investigate” wrong.

The thought has occurred to me as well. It’s hard to imagine somebody being that stupid and survive unless some powerful agency is keeping a hand over him for its own purposes.

Getting juuuuuust a little tired of Nunes pretending to be a disinterested party here while so obviously doing all he can to sabotage Mueller’s investigation. Perhaps he needs a lesson on the three branches of government and how they’re supposed to be a check and balance on each other’s power, not a facilitator of criminal wrongdoing.

This is it. He is under surveillance. Every time something comes out in the NYT, WaPo, or The Guardian, or on TV, Carter Page probably calls a circle of people to react and discuss how to cover stuff up. Then they follow those people and their calls too.

Last night was jaw dropping, couldn’t process the new stuff fast enough before a new one dropped.

It’ll take all morning to catch up.

Mostly the Obama angle but I think they now know that some of their own have been caught on tape too.

“They were apparently part of the FBI’s frenzied, secretive effort to determine whether the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russian government while taking pains not to influence the election results.” Really? Truly? ‘Apparently’? Not at all reporting. Who knows what and why they were doing what they were doing? That’s a more exact statement and it says almost nothing.

Given Mr Halper’s background, leaking him as a source is like disclosing that the sky is blue.

Wikipedia mining:

Halper is the son-in-law of Ray S. Cline.

From 1984 to 1990 Halper was chairman and majority shareholder of the Palmer National Bank of Washington, D.C. …

The Palmer National Bank was a bank headquartered in Washington, D.C. … The bank’s connections to the leadership of the Republican Party led to it becoming a favored financial institution for conservative political action committees during the 1980s. … As part of the Iran-Contra scandal, Oliver North used the bank to funnel money to a Swiss bank account and ultimately to the Contras.
