Discussion: Trump Campaign Advisor Details Sept. 2016 Meeting With FBI's 'Informant'

But…but… he’s a Doctor of, well… Public Administration. Specialized in Homeland Security.

I don’t understand what the squawking is about. Surely the FBI has the right to hire informants and to spy upon people plotting treachery against the United States?

“People,” certainly. Those People, definitely. But these were Republicans. You can’t investigate Republicans. It is not possible for Republicans to do a thing that breaks the law, and therefore needs investigating, because Republicanism is synonymous with Americanism and with Lawfulism, and therefore any investigation of them is biased and fake. Also, if ever it was necessary to investigate a Republican, and such a thing is not possible because if a Republican does it, that makes it legal, only Republicans can investigate Republicans because everyone else is biased against them and cannot set their partisanship aside and do what’s best for the country. This is also why only Republicans can be trusted to investigate Democrats because everyone else is biased in favor of Democrats.

I cannot believe I am having to explain such self-evident truths to you.

Like a giant, evil, flesh-colored and mustachioed Grimace…I can’t tell where his face ends and his stomach begins. And yes, Mustache Rule in full effect…raging douchebag.

The two sat for coffee and had a “high level” academic discussion about China, Clovis said.

Think about that sentence for a second. How the hell does Sam Clovis, talk radio host, climate denier, WH advisor to USDA, failed non-scientist to UnderSecAg post, anti-gay, anti-progressive (progressives are “liars, race traders and race ‘traitors.’”) claim he had an high level academic discussion about China?

Can he even point to China on a map?

Only if you hold the map up in an area his bloated arms’ limited range of motion can point to.

the Traitors who don’t get thrown into jail get to keep their stolen money. doncha know . hey. its worth a chance jail. or. keep the MONEY!

Indeed, and don’t forget that if a Republican ever IS investigated and found to have done something illegal, that makes him a Democrat.

I shit you not, that is literally the underlying reasoning to shit I see on the Faux News KKKomment boards.

Gotta love the moronic misuse of “deliberative” for deliberate.

As Vartan Gregorian said, “when you see a donkey carrying a diploma, don’t say it is an educated donkey—it is only a donkey…”

I just can’t stop laughing - trying to imagine Sam Clovis discussing academic research interests. It’s surely been a long time since Clovis has been around any college and it’s been since the “twelfth of never” that he was a professor. Edit: mea culpa; I didn’t for one minute think he had a doctorate in anything.

Clovis: “If I could summarize the meeting with just a single image, it basically went down just like this:”

Anyone else think this whole “informant” story doesn’t add up? An informant is an embedded asset. It would have to be someone inside the campaign. And, if I recall correctly, that’s exactly how Spanky the Clown described his outrage – an embedded informant inside his campaign, planted there by the prior administration. But whenever anyone makes a specific claim, they point to a guy outside the campaign who’s well known for having worked with various governments.

It’s like they’re saying: We ran over to a cop and told him we want the Russians to bribe us. Can you help? Cop says sure, let me take some notes. Then they run back over and call the cop an informant.

They are saying, " Hey, all you Fox News addicts. I know I’m lying. You know I’m lying. But you want to believe, and I want you to believe me, so it really isn’t a lie, is it?

What is going on here? Stephen A Halper is a retired 73 year old Cambridge professor portrayed as James Bond on Geritol. Mother Jones wasn’t particularly impressed by the reveal. While Cambridge Analytica and Cambridge University also show up in the Brexit vote discussion, they are 100 km north of the Kensington wine bar where Papadopoulos met with the Australian diplomat Alexander Downer. Halper and Downer were both linked in a Daily Caller item in March, so this is not really news. Maybe the thing is that all elections worth rigging are going to be rigged no matter where you live, and all governments know this. Papadopoulos is commonly described as a babe in the woods who just wandered into this intrigue, like Tom Cruise in Eyes Wide Shut. Or it could just be a comedy of errors like in Burn After Reading.

Why is the photo of this stupid lying fat fuck still headlining this website?

“Like two faculty members sitting down…”

This fat fucking prick is about as qualified to have an academic discussion as I am dunking on LeBron James.

Dirty scummy right wing bovine piece of shit…

Well, to his credit, his words are open to interpretation. I’m sure most 4th grade classes involve maps of the world and identification.

Clovis probably thrilled the informant with his ability to identify China on a map, or at least the general vicinity of the globe, before the sweet enticing aroma of the aforementioned chocolate chip cookies distracted him. The meeting ended shortly afterward.
