Stefan Halper— long time Bush family retainer and CIA operative who teaches at Cambridge and most likely operates a CIA station on that university campus. Poetic justice: Bush family loyalist outs Trump. Lovely.

The Trump campaign meeting with an agent of US law enforcement is the “all time biggest political scandal”.

But the Trump campaign repeatedly meeting with dozens of Kremlin agents is a “phony, made-up scandal”.

Orwell was an underachiever.

it’s unknown when exactly the informant began working on the case

Bit it’s well known when Carter Page began working for the Kremlin.

It’s interesting that according to Trump, FBI counterintelligence investigations of Russian interference with a few of his campaign aides constitute an investigation of him and his campaign, but the malfeasance done by those same people (and likely others) had nothing to do with him or his campaign.

Which is it, did they operate on his behalf or not? (Not that I’m expecting any coherent or consistent explanation from his team)

I love how the Trump administration wants Executive Branch staffers to spy on each other, but the possibility that someone may be reporting what he and his campaign team are up to sends him squealing to his base.

Trump is in an uproar because his campaign was under suspicion long before he had any idea the FBI was into him.

I’d love to give the FBI immense credit, but when everyone around Trump had a Russian connection, it probably wasn’t too difficult to figure it out.

His father-in-law, also CIA, tried to get Bush, also CIA, elected in 1980.

Sadly, because his identity will likely be exposed by tRump, inc. He will be demonized and his career destroyed. I just hope that his contributions will be instrumental on the downfall of the pseudoempire.

Not reporting his name, just every other circumstantial thing about him so he can easily be identified and tracked down by MAGA hit squads, right?

All the Trump loyalists have decided to nuke the FBI in the media.

The desperation is setting in. Every day Trump wakes up to discover Mueller knows more than he did 24 hours ago.

Even the GOP leadership would rather shut Mueller down than uncover the truth.

Trump took to Twitter Friday to rail against the “all time biggest political scandal” of an FBI informant “implanted” into his campaign, WaPo reports there is “no evidence to suggest someone was planted with the campaign”

Who in their right mind would make claims without any evidence? Or, maybe, I just answered my own question.
