Now there was a spy?

Reports have now surfaced that the government placed a spy within the Trump campaign during last years election. If true, this has got to be one of the most heinous things that the government has ever done. Imagine, a government spy in the opposition political camp.

This reeks of totalitarianism on the part of the Obama government and for the sake of our Republic such a thing cannot be tolerated in the least bit. I hope this is not true, but unfortunately with all of Obama's dictatorial actions during his presidency, I would not be in the least bit surprised if it actually happened.

Take it to the bank. "Spy" might not be the right word, but the government had a paid informant inside the campaign.

Does the name Steve Halper (I think) ring a bell?

"Spy" might not be the right word

...what would you call it then?

Stefan Halper Agent Provocateur – In His Own Words…
(good read, lots of info, check out the photos and comments, I recognize young Bill Clinton and George Wallace, who's the guy in the middle?)

"....Some terrific background research on Stefan Halper was done long before mainstream media picked up on his role as FBI Agent Provocateur. Two months ago a Twitter Thread by TheWarEconomy outlined the scale of Agent Halper’s work weaving intelligence operations and U.S. politics into a deep state career. Including:

♦ Agent Halper worked as an assistant to three Chiefs of Staff – Alexander Haig (until September 21, 1974), then Donald Rumsfeld (from September 21, 1974 to November 20, 1975), and then Dick Cheney (from November 20, 1975 to January 20, 1977). (link)

♦Agent Halper worked as a legislative assistant to Senator William Roth of Delaware holding this position from 1977 to 1979. Because Halper was working with Senator Roth, he also became a Special Counsel to the United States Congress’ Joint Economic Committee. (link)

♦In 1979, agent Halper left both positions to become the National Director for Policy Development for George H. W. Bush’s Presidential campaign. (link) Halper then became the National Director of Policy Coordination on the Reagan / Bush Presidential campaign. (link)

♦ On November 4, 1980, Ronald Reagan was elected to become the President of the United States. From 1981 to 1984, agent Halper worked as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State. (link) As such, Halper served under three different Secretaries of State – Alexander Haig (from January 22, 1981 to July 5, 1982), Walter J. Stoessel, Jr. (from July 5, 1982 to July 16, 1982) and George P. Shultz (from July 16, 1982 to 1984).

♦After this, agent Halper became a Senior Advisor to the Department of Defense, and a Senior Advisor to the Department of Justice, positions lasting from 1984 to 2001. (link)

♦Agent Halper’s former father-in-law was Ray Cline, who was the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. (link) As Chairman of Palmer National Bank, Agent Halper made loans to customs who then used it to channel the money to a Swiss bank account controlled by Colonel Oliver North, who then used the same bank account to provide military assistance to the contras. (link)

♦Along with Agent Halper, several Central Intelligence Agency related people were on the H. W. Bush campaign, including Ray Cline, Sam Wilson, Howard Aaron, Henry Knoche, Robert Gambino, Bruce Rounds, Jon Thomas, Jack Coackley and Richard Stillwell. All working with agent Halper. (link)

♦Agent Halper was on the Board of Directors at the National Intelligence Study Center, alongside his father-in-law and CIA Director Ray Cline, in 1983. (link) Agent Halper and his team of Central Intelligence Agency people during the Reagan / Bush ticket actually collected inside information on the Carter Administration’s foreign policy – with Halper in charge.

The other day former DNI director and known liar James Clapper said it was a good thing that the FBI had a spy in the Trump campaign. Today in an interview with Chris Cuomo he said that this spy was a "protective measure" for the Trump campaign and thus our election.

If this is true I beg the question, was there also an FBI spy in the Clinton campaign? If election security was the main factor, then surely the Clinton campaign had their own imbedded FBI operative? Thus far no evidence has surfaced that one existed there also.

Looking at post #3, Halper has worked for Republicans his entire career. I think a reasonable question is whether he was again working for the GOP, which didn't really want for Trump to be elected.
