Media, Democrats, and NeverTrumpers (But I Repeat Myself Thrice) Are All Shrieking That Someone With Spy Connections Asked by the FBI or CIA to Spy on You Isn't Really a "Spy"

In a world of extreme anti-Trump journalism bias “the spy isn’t actually a spy” still stands out https://t.co/DB5RfHtAcg

I’m sorry I still think the Bush standard is worth upholding. Respecting our institutions is never a ship that’s sailed. I’m not suggesting you feel otherwise. Like a criminal probe why shouldn’t fbi investigate if a foreign power had undue influence on campaign? It’s not spying https://t.co/YFumKFAZe3
— David Gregory (@davidgregory) May 23, 2018

Here's an exchange on this point between Brit Hume and the Washington Post shill-media's Aaron Blake:

Amusing to see journalists being so fastidious about the word “spy,” usually the kind of word journalists love because it’s short, punchy and descriptive.
— Brit Hume (@brithume) May 23, 2018

Still no evidence there was a "SPY." In fact, we found out this person wasn't "implanted" in the campaign, as previously claimed. https://t.co/LbLUQehRIY
— Aaron Blake (@AaronBlake) May 23, 2018

Oh for Pete’s sake. He was acting as an informant for the FBI in a counterintelligence investigation. How else to describe him? https://t.co/Kar6r1VfwV
— Brit Hume (@brithume) May 23, 2018

"Informant" seems to work pretty well? "Spy," by definition, requires you to be informing on an enemy, which is why Trump insists on it. https://t.co/A788tpYaWX
— Aaron Blake (@AaronBlake) May 23, 2018

I can't find the tweets now, but Hume responded that "usually" requires action against an enemy intent implies that sometimes it doesn't require action against an enemy, and points out that we spy on Britain and Israel (and they spy on us too), and none of us would consider each other enemies.

Say, you know what might resolve this? If we ask the former top US Spymaster, who was intimately involved in this Spying operation, if Halper was Spying on Trump:

— David Harsanyi (@davidharsanyi) May 23, 2018

Whoops, he says it was spying. But what does he know? He's not an #Expert like the soibois of the media.

And it's hard to argue with this:

One might have thought most of the political media couldn't embarrass themselves more than they did in 2016. Then 2017 happened, and they got worse, somehow. And now it's sort of like a "can't look away from this train wreck" sort of thing. CLOWN SHOW.
— Mollie (@MZHemingway) May 20, 2018

Also, one kind of gets the feeling that they are so incompetent and, of all things, arrogant that they think they're doing a not-horrific job. Which is pitiful beyond words.
— Mollie (@MZHemingway) May 20, 2018

The Media Democrat Complex is pushing for the word "informant," of course, and of course goes a step further than that: The "informant" was spying on Trump aides to protect Trump, not harm him.

Truly hilarious headline: https://t.co/GcKG6uh0pR
— Brit Hume (@brithume) May 19, 2018

One continues to wonder why, if they wanted to "protect" Trump, they didn't offer him a "defensive briefing," as it's called, to alert him to suspicions about believed bad actors infiltrating his campaign.

They actually decided not to brief a presidential candidate that their were people possibly compromised by Russia at or around his campaign, choosing instead to... spy on him.

Yes, that is some "protection" they were offering.

Meanwhile, the deranged lunatic Jen Rubin, who doesn't even rate the status of "Joke" any longer, is accusing, without any evidence at all, an unnamed person of "leaking" the name of the spy to Chuck Ross.

Chuck Ross says this is untrue.

I think Jen Rubin simply cannot imagine a reporter writing his own story by carefully scouring already-published reports and putting them together into some kind of fresh reportage.

Like her colleagues at the Washington Post, she thinks all reporting must come by way of leak from #Resistance sources.

Hey @JRubinBlogger, this speculation about my reporting is inaccurate. I'd appreciate it if you'd correct it to report only what you know to be true. https://t.co/2OMSZaB13i pic.twitter.com/fisbHS3XPJ

Oh, there was some Hillary shenanigans with the Bernie campaign!!

The DNC recommended Bernie hire a guy to manage voter data (he was a DNC guy) and then staffer improperly accessed Clinton's voter files, prompting charges of theft from the Clinton campaign and setting off a bitter political fight in what had been a relatively peaceful Democratic nominating race.

Yeah, he looked like a plant even before SPYGATE was known.

He was doing what spies do ... gets involved (implanted) on behalf of an agency. He also (it seems) planted evidence, so they could frame Trump for collusion with Russians (not a crime).

Even if someone was already a little involved in the campaign, once they start coordinating with the CIA/FBI to pass private information to the government, they are SPYING. Someone who spies, is a spy.

MAYBE if he was involved and had evidence of crimes, he could be an "informant" ... but with no such evidence and being directed to act as directed by our spy agencies (and being paid a million bucks to do it) ... he is employed as a spy.

But the more they deny, the more normal people hear it and say ... "Yup, those bastards really did SPY on Trump to try to help Crooked Hillary.

193 The word "spy" has a lot of baggage, which is why they're playing semantic games and engaging in technicalities, to avoid the baggage. Spy pulls the bandage off painfully: the FBI and Intel departments were spying on the opponent of the president's party. They were set deliberately to spy on and damage a political opponent.

And the willing allies in the press would really rather that not become the narrative.

What level of review did this operation go through considering the sensitivity of the FBI and DOJ, under the control of Obama, was "monitoring" a political foe in the midst of a highly contested race. Was there special justification for this, written down anywhere by anyone.

Rudy still looks like he knows what he's talking about. I love when he said that Mueller can write whatever report he wants, and he'll rip it apart.

If Rudy is starting to lean toward a Mueller interview--Mueller doesn't have an upper hand. He's going to try to pretend he does, but the President clearly has the authority in this situation. I think Rudy is storing up questions he has for Mueller.

There's nothing saying that if the President is cooperating by answering an investigator's questions, that his council can't address questions about a suspicious nature to the investigator.

278 The Left acting like authoritarians thugs, which it used the government to do as its proxy, doesn't fit their fantastical narrative about goodness and light. Tough shit. They turned the FBI into their personal KGB and got busted. Journalists took payola from Fusion GPS to push state propaganda. They haven't gotten properly busted yet and those spiked stories are about to get real, too.

Obama fundamentally transformed the United States into a communist dictatorship. Then his coup failed.

The only question now is what to do, not whether we should give one single fuck what paid liars for a communist shadow government think is the proper euphemism to be used to describe their despotism and SPYING. Many of us would have settled for something along the lines of the truth and reconciliation commission South African set up after apartheid ended. No longer. These bastards richly deserve to die in prison and be strapped in gurneys based on what penalty their crime merits.

I disagree.

Like the Russians who showed up, demanding a trial, Trump should announce loud and long that this interview can happen.

Mueller does NOT want it. he wants to be seen as wanting it, and being rebuffed. If it does happen, he HAS to knock Trump out. The Left wants and now expects nothing less. He does NOT want to go to trial.

And he won't be able to control what comes out of the interview. Trump will demand the same treatment that Hillary got, and will treat him the way he did George Snuffalupagus. Guiliani will tag team.

Martial
Arts. People trained in a real martial art react too quickly in a real fight for their conscious mind to even follow what is
happening; everything goes black and the person has no
conscious clue of what happened. In Karate this state is
known as Mushin "The mind of no mind" - in Judo and Aikido we call it "going automatic". I have experienced it several times, and it is real.

Fleming fibbed a little bit. From what I've read, SMERSH (Death to Spies) was supposed to be a unit that executed Russian cowards and traitors during the Great Patriotic War (WWII), not foreign spies. They were supposed to be the job of the MGB, or NKVD, or whatever combination of letters Soviet Russia was using at the time.

Fleming knew a good thing when he heard it, and amplified its mandate for his fiction.

I still wouldn't want to be their target.

If there were a subconscious mind, how could one ever know of its existence?

Martial Arts. People trained in a real martial art react too quickly in a real fight for their conscious mind to even follow what is
happening; everything goes black and the person has no
conscious clue of what happened. In Karate this state is
known as Mushin "The mind of no mind" - in Judo and Aikido we call it "going automatic". I have experienced it several times, and it is real.

Posted by: An Observation at May 24, 2018 01:19 PM (Kua8E)

========

I always thought of the subconscious as a motivation that the person was not consciously aware of. So that if the question were asked "Why does such-and-so produce art like this? Why does he have this phobia or aversion? Even he doesn't know why". Someone who knew him from childhood might conjecture "he had such-and-so experience and it subconsciously colors his outlook". What you describe seems more like an automatic muscle reflex than something psychological. Like heartbeat, breathing, peristalsis, etc. Not really in the realm of the psychological.

513 I just watched about an hour of the cop video that clears him of rape of a DWI chick. If the sound quality were better--there's a lot of wind blowing on the mike--I'd be willing to replace NFL-watching with videos like that.

515 Stefan was on the government payroll.

Stefan approached the campaign to gather information. They never approached him.

He didn't just stumble on something and report it. He had no valid reason to be interacting with these people other than he wanted to spy on them.

At least some of the people who sent him were busy exchanging e-mails about how Trump was the enemy and needed to be stopped.

All of this strongly points to the whole thing being an op from the start.

516 The slime stream media are desperate, of course they were spies they also tried to entrap Trump's staff and planted verbal evidence that was used against them by the DOJ and FBI. Evidence free honestly these people are forking twisted.

517 Does anyone really believe the information from this "informant" wasn't going straight to the Clinton campaign? Thus, "spy".
