It was the FBI and CIA, not Trump, that was colluding with Russians



It was the FBI and CIA, not Trump, that was colluding with Russians

Two bombshell reports largely being ignored by the mainstream media provide further evidence that it wasn’t President Donald Trump who was colluding with Russians, it was the FBI and CIA which were using private sector operatives with Russian contacts, along with a compliant media, to set up the Trump campaign.

The information comes from two government whistleblowers: former Defense Department analyst Adam Lovinger and FBI Special Agent Jonathan Moffa.
Lovinger discovered, quite by accident, that former emeritus Cambridge professor Stefan Halper – who has vast ties to Russian intelligence, including through a think tank at Cambridge University that has received funding from a Russian billionaire with close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putting – was being paid $1 million from the federal treasury to spy on Trump campaign operatives Michael Flynn, Carter Page and George Papadopoulos.  When he took that information to his superiors he was kicked out of his National Security Council job and sent to the Pentagon annex called “the land of misfit toys.” He later had his security clearance revoked and was fired.
Moffa told Congress earlier this month that the FBI regularly defrauded the FISA court by leaking stories to a compliant media then using those leaked stories as a basis for obtaining warrants for spying on Americans. Moffa, though, couldn’t say for sure whether this was the case for obtaining warrants on Trump operatives like Flynn, Page and Papadopoulos.
But from previous reporting we know that leaks to the press and their subsequent stories were the basis for FISA warrants on Trump operatives. It started in 2016 when Halper told the FBI he had witnessed Flynn speaking with Russian academic Svetlana Lokhova at a seminar. That meeting was leaked to the BBC and eventually found its way into U.S. media.
“But it didn’t matter that it wasn’t the truth,” the former senior intelligence official told Sarah Carter. “It was already out there because of Halper’s allegations and the constant leaking and lying of false stories of those to the media.”
As SarahCarter.com reports:
A former senior intelligence official told this news outlet, “It’s all smoke and mirrors. Halper was well aware when he was bringing in [Russian Ambassador Vladimir I.] Trubnikov in 2012 that the Russian’s (sic) were already there at his invitation. The FBI uses Halper to get more information on Trump aides but it’s Halper who has the real connection to Russia.”
Of course, we know that the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC were also colluding with Russians to get Trump. They paid the law firm of Perkins Coie, which paid the opposition research firm Fusion GPS (which employed the wife of FBI agent Bruce Ohr), which paid Christopher Steele, who conspired with Russians to get dirt on Trump, including setting up the meeting at Trump Tower with some Russians on false pretenses.
But Lovinger sheds new light on the depth of the real collusion story.
Lovinger’s attorney, Sean Bigle, told Sarah Carter, “Mr. Lovinger unwittingly shined a spotlight on the deep state’s secret weapon – Stefan Halper – and threatened to expose the truth about the Trump-Russia collusion narrative than being plotted: that it was all a set-up.”

  1. When you start every other sentence with "we know" but use Fox News as your source, you are not proving your point. And no judge ever, ever issues warrants based on news media reports. Have you no understanding of the legal system. I would encourage you to take some college courses, or talk to experts in the field, such as judges or prosecutors, to learn what evidence needs to be present to issue warrants. Passing on misinformation and blatant lies is what is dividing our country. You are no patriot and you are not representing me faithfully or as instructed by the constitution.

    1. Why is it that every liberal in America says that Fox News is not a real news source, but continually rely on blatanly liberal news sites as their source?
