Chuck Ross: Stefan Halper, a US/UK Dual Citizen with CIA and MI-6 Ties, Tried to Cultivate Relationships With Both Page and Papadoplous, During the Campaign, and Then After It

He's an old CIA Bush crony, too.


Days after Carter Page's high-profile trip to Moscow in July 2016, the Trump campaign adviser had his first encounter with Stefan Halper, a University of Cambridge professor with CIA and MI6 contacts.

The conversation seemed innocent enough, Page tells The Daily Caller News Foundation. He recalls nothing of substance being discussed other than Halper's passing mention that he knew then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort. But the interaction was one of many that the pair would have over the next 14 months, through a period of time when Page was under the watchful eye of the U.S. government.

...

Page's encounters with Halper were quite different from those that another Trump campaign adviser had during the campaign with the 73-year-old academic. As TheDCNF reported exclusively in March, Halper and George Papadopoulos met several times over a period of a few days in Sept. 2016. Several days earlier, Halper contacted and met with a third Trump campaign official. That official, who has requested anonymity, told TheDCNF that Halper expressed interest in helping the campaign.

Unlike with Page, Halper's relationship with Papadopoulos was ostensibly more of a business arrangement than a fledgling friendship.

...

Papadopoulos and Halper met several times during that stay, having dinner one night at the Travellers Club, an Old London gentleman's club frequented by international diplomats. They were accompanied by Halper’s assistant, a Turkish woman named Azra Turk. Sources familiar with Papadopoulos's claims about his trip say Turk flirted with him during their encounters and later on in email exchanges.


Papadopoulos wrote the paper and delivered it in early October. He was paid $3,000 for the work. Days before making that payment, Halper had finalized a contract with the Office of Net Assessment, the Pentagon's think tank. Federal records show that Halper has been paid $928,800 since 2012 for work on four policy projects for the Pentagon.

That seems like enough to get everyone interested. Read the full story if you want to know more about the Obama regime totally not spying on a rival political campaign.

Check out the last four paragraphs -- Stefan Halper used to work for, get this, George Bush Senior's failed 1980 presidential bid.

It's nice to have family friends!

Total Speculation:

It occurs to me that a possiblity here is that that Halper was hired by Jeb Bush, given that he used to run political spying ops for George Bush, Sr.

If true, this could explain the varying claims about "Republicans starting the dossier." No, Republicans didn't start the dossier per se in this hypothetical scenario, but Jeb Bush's man in London Stephan Halper began the spying operation and would have served as one of the first sources to Christopher Steele.

19 So we have went from Trump being crazy because he said obama wiretapped his office, to obama actually planted at least one spy (possibly more) in the Trump campaign with no legal authority to do so.

And this is just what they are admitting to get ahead of the various IG reports that are due out this and next month.

Never thought I would see anything like this in the Country I swore an oath to defend from all enemies, Foreign and Domestic during my lifetime.

71 There is a good chance for the narrative to shift as more stuff comes out. If I were a paying publisher, I would find the "Trump colluded with Russia" story to be much less compelling than "The DNC, along with high-level government employees, colluded with multiple foreign powers to end-run US law, manufacture dirt on a presidential candidate and, failing to prevent his election, pivoted to leverage the same entrapment scheme to execute a coup. Also, the former president may have been involved."

Discounting any need for facts or honesty, the second story is much juicier.

89 It occurs to me that a possiblity here is that that Halper was hired by Jeb Bush, given that he used to run political spying ops for George Bush, Sr.

If true, this could explain the varying claims about "Republicans starting the dossier." No, Republicans didn't start the dossier per se in this hypothetical scenario, but Jeb Bush's man in London Stephan Halper began the spying operation and would have served as one of the first sources to Christopher Steele.

We are no more a Self-Governing Nation than I'm a fucking brain surgeon.

The way this is SUPPOSED to work ... is the GOP and DNC control the choices. So that regardless of which way the Rubes go - the result is acceptable to The Capitol.

Except this time ... everything went to shit. First the GOP fucked up by letting an Outsider get the nomination, then the DNC fucked up by letting him win.

134 At the end of the day, we all knew our government was corrupt, incestuous, lawless, illigitimate and out of control.

By my estimation approximately three dozen people in the Obama adminsitration, FBI, DOJ, State, DHS, 5 eyes, contractors, et al need to have their necks stretched for this attempted American Coup D'etat.

I don't believe anyone is going to be held accountable and this, "Just wait till the IG report comes out, Just you wait!!!!" is becoming nauseating.

So far 3 people have been fired, some transfers and a couple of resignations and that's it.

I know that does it for some but that nearly enough.

We have had the McCabe wet fart of an IG report drop and nothing materialize we have the spectre of the Hillary Clinton Investigation report being dropped sometime in the next #twoweek to several months, nothing is even being hinted at of an IG report being dropped about this coup attempt, probably because there is an on going investigation, which seems like it will never end so that IG report is at least several years away if it's ever going to materialize, and I have my doubts about that.

The bottom line is that the scales of justice are never going to be righted when all is said and done.

This shit is all a multi-act production of The Aristocrats and nothing more.

220 There needs to be something like the Truth and Reconciliation Commission set up in South Africa after apartheid ended so the agents and spooks involved can come forward and confess their sins with the agreement they will not be prosecuted. Except here the promise shouldn't be kept and the guilty immediately seized and executed after they testify.

Seriously, though, Americans haven't expelled other Americans since the Loyalists were booted after the Revolution (a few isolated instances during the Civil War notwithstanding). It's high time the Obamas, Bushes and Clintons were exiled with the accepting governments expected to oppress the shit out of them.

One thing Mollie Hemingway pointed out that I missed when reading the article: The FISA warrant renewals every 90 days needed "additional info" each time to keep the warrants going.

This, of course, explains the "after the campaign" contacts by Halper. He kept in touch so they could put additional info in the FISA warrant application to keep them getting approved even after the campaign was over.

There seems to be a belief that it is in reference to the movie, "Jumping Jack Flash," not really the song, which has to do w espionage, Brit secret agents and the Russians. Although, if that's true and PDT was seen as the Whoopi character, he would have been seen as an innocent entrapped by the actions of others.

yeah they're not supposed to be. I like how the codename for Hillary's email investigation was the anodyne and completely non-alerting "Mid-Year Examination," whereas for Trump -- you know, the investigation that has "MEANING," as Strzok enthused -- was given the rock-n-roll amazeballz codename CROSSFIRE HURRICANE.

There never was an underlying crime and the FBI/DOJ cabal knew that.

If you're from an insurance company and you're going to call a healthcare organization to request medical records for one of your insured, please hire native English speakers to do so.

I got a voicemail wherein I could only understand about every fourth word and our dictation software made a word salad of the message. I'm lucky I was able to make out the patient's last name and the return telephone number.

I did call back and the other non-native English speaker couldn't help me with the scant info I had. OH WELL. I guess they'll call back if they really, really, really need the information.

Meanwhile, a patient is now probably going to have a runaround with the insurance company because Diversity!(TM) is a strength.

380 #22 flounderbot and #39 votermom:
"Topps Traitoring Cards" would be good, but even better would be a deck of 52 playing cards, like the ones our armed forces used to track down Saddam and his buddies.
With all the talent here, I'm sure someone could photoshop a very lifelike set, that it wouldn't be too expensive to have some printed up and offered for sale on Amazon, and that it would probably sell even better than the Deplorable Gourmet cookbook.
The fun part would be assigning villains to cards. Which pathetic losers would be Twos? Would they comfort themselves with the thought that at least they 'made the cut'?
Best of all for making lefty heads explode: the topmost villain must obviously have the highest-ranked card, which makes Barak Obama the Ace of Spades (no allusion to this fine site intended). (I would avoid making all the other black villains Spades: that would be a joke too far.) Hillary would be the Ace of Hearts (eeeeuw!). Not sure who the other Aces would be: there are so many. Making a mincing ponce like Comey a Queen would be appropriate (that's about how important he is) and mean (which is a good thing in this case).
As for the Jokers: one or both could be grinning Trumps. Or maybe one Trump and one IG Horowitz, or . . . too bad there's only two Jokers in a deck. Probably two Trumps would be best. That way his face comes up twice as often.
The other problem is that we're not entirely sure who are villains right now: should Mueller get a card? Probably. Sessions? Maybe. And so on.

Go to a hotel outside of town and register in your own name. Here is $200 cash, don't use your credit card. Stay inside and order room service. On Friday night call this number and order a Blue Buffulo Thigh Slapper. When the delivery person knocks on the door be sure to wear this ball gag and red panties when you answer the door. Hand her this notes and wait for me.

440 384 Does anyone know where Stefan Halper was born. I have been searching for it but cannot find even one shred of information on it. Usually, Wikipedia and the rest of those sites love to list the date and place of birth ... but for Halper I can't find squat.

I have a feeling that he wasn't born in America. Little help, here."

I see no reason to doubt that he was born in America, but I noticed as well that he has gone to some trouble to make sure that any personal information - family, birthplace, etc - has been carefully scrubbed from the web. However, I suspect that is true for all of those who have extensive CIA and MI6 connections. The sources do all note that he graduated from Stanford University in 1967, when he would have been 23 years old.

He became the Director of George H W Bush's Presidential campaign in 1979 - how did they get to know each other so well? Recall that GHW Bush was head of the CIA from 1976 - 1977. So he is absolutely a long time part of the Bush Machine.

However, I suspect that is true for all of those who have extensive CIA and MI6 connections.

It is very weird. I doubt it's related to his being a dual-spy, though. I think it has more to do with his dual nationality and the origins of that circumstance. I think it's pretty clear that he wasn't born an American and just decide to become a Brit later. I don't know that, of course, but it sounds very odd that anything like that would happen. He might have had a Brit parent and was born here or, much more likely, had an American parent and was born there, or even more likely than that was born a Brit and became a naturalized American - in which case his retention of his Brit subject status is a violation of his oath of renunciation and allegiance.

It's all very odd, though.

522 477 Tom Servo -- Thank you for the SC citation, but even in the late 70s, friends and acquaintances had to declare a citizenship and surrender the other passport. "

There is a difference in rules that apply to those that are naturalized citizens and had previous citizenship, and Americans who are citizens from birth. Naturalized citizens can be required to give up citizenship in the former country: BUT a natural born (to coin a phrase) American Citizen can never have his American citizenship taken away (involuntarily) for accepting or holding citizenship in a 2nd country. That's what the Supreme Court ruling held.

The most common dual citizenship today is among American Jews, many of whom hold both American and Isreali citizenship.

I would just correct this to "someone born with American citizenship", since not all those born with American citizenship are Natural Born Citizens (though this has yet to be clarified in either a redundant Constitutional amendment or by any SCOTUS decision).

620 Even when I was just a lowly, know-nothing private, OPSEC was drilled into us down to the bone. Don't talk about work stuff, however inconsequential, with people you don't know, because if they were bad guys they could put a bigger picture together with other bits of information gleaned from multiple sources.

As a civilian, I've handled clinical data for pharmaceutical trials, some of the most expensive corporate classified data there is, and same thing: don't talk about that stuff with anyone.

So Papadoplous appears to have been compromised--influenced in the very least. Did no one at any point bother to brief this guy on basic security? On the possibility that someone might chat him up?

Similarly, Veselnitsya and her Russian pals were also sent to Trump Tower by Clinton/Obama, Inc. Also not questioned by Mueller.
