As I said, now we're quibbling about what to call it when the FBI puts an informant inside a political campaign and taps their phones. It used to be called "spying". Now the progs are insisting on calling it something else.

Cambridge professor outed as FBI informant inside Trump campaign


A Cambridge professor with deep ties to American and British intelligence has been outed as an agent who snooped on the Trump presidential campaign for the FBI.

Multiple media outlets have named Stefan Halper, 73, as the secret informant who met with Trump campaign advisers Carter Page and George Papadopoulos starting in the summer of 2016. The American-born academic previously served in the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations.

The professor met with Trump campaign co-chair Sam Clovis in late August, offering his services as a foreign policy adviser, the Washington Post reported Friday, without naming the academic.

Clovis did not see the conversation as suspicious, his attorney told the paper — but is now “unsettled” that “the professor” never mentioned he’d struck up a relationship with Page.

Days later, Halper contacted Papadopoulos by email. The professor offered the young and inexperienced campaign aide $3,000 and an all-expenses-paid trip to London, ostensibly to write a paper about energy in the eastern Mediterranean region.

“George, you know about hacking the emails from Russia, right?” the professor pressed Papadopoulos when they met, according to reports — a reference to Trump’s campaign-trail riffs about Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

Sources close to Papadopoulos told NBC News that he now believes Halper was working for an intelligence agency.

Highly detailed descriptions of the FBI informant in Friday reports in the New York Times and Washington Post pegged Halper in all but name. Outlets including NBC and Fox News subsequently connected the dots. The revelation confirms a March report in the Daily Caller that outlined Halper’s repeated meetings with Papadopoulos and Page.

It is not clear if the professor was paid to speak with Trump campaign figures, but public records show that he has received large payments from the federal government in the last two years.

The Department of Defense’s Office of Net Assessment — a shadowy think tank that reports directly to the secretary of defense — paid Halper $282,000 in 2016 and $129,000 in 2017.

Stefan A. Halper, the FBI source who assisted the Russia investigation and is at the center of a standoff between congressional Republicans and the Justice Department, is a well-connected veteran of past GOP administrations who convened senior intelligence officials for seminars at the University of Cambridge in England.

In the summer and fall of 2016, Halper, then an emeritus professor at Cambridge, contacted three Trump campaign advisers for brief talks and meetings that largely centered on foreign policy, The Washington Post reported last week.

At some point that year, he began working as a secret informant for the FBI as it investigated Russia’s interference in the campaign, according to multiple people familiar with his activities.

The Post had previously confirmed Halper’s identity but did not report his name following warnings from U.S. intelligence officials that exposing him could endanger him or his contacts. Now that he has been identified as the FBI’s informant by multiple news organizations, including the Wall Street Journal, New York magazine and Axios, The Post has decided to publish his name.

Halper’s contacts with Trump advisers around the start of the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation have come under scrutiny in recent weeks by House allies of President Trump. Late last month, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) issued a subpoena to the Justice Department requesting all documents related to the FBI informant.

I don't know ... if there was actually any "spying on the Trump campaign". The accusation has been made but with no evidence to back it up.

You mean, other than the NYT reporting it, the FBI admitting it, at least one "informant" being named, NSA officials saying it was normal process, and recently-briefed Rep Gowdy saying it was a good thing to do. Other than that there's no evidence, right?

Roseanne Re-reboot

Possible scenarios-what's yours?
Roseanne leaves her family to pursue her dream on the NASCAR circuit. Her long lost cousin Coy from Georgia, and his husband Vance, move in to help Dan run the house. They’re poor, but they have a lawsuit pending with a Christian baker. Incoming cha-ching.

Every episode opens with Dan sitting in the corner, thinking about his white male privilege. The song “Hello Darkness My Old Friend” plays in the background. Interspersed with past statements from past episodes, rebooted and original, of him being a white male privileged man ape. No, not a Planet of the Apes ape, an ape in the metaphorical sense. The kind wives use to describe their husbands when their husbands are off drinking. Eventually, Dan purposely makes sexist comments around women just so he can be banished to his basement. Which he’s stockpiled with beer.

Their youngest son Jerry Garcia (I swear, that’s what they named him) returns from the war as a vegan atheist. They close every episode with a lecture at the kitchen table. Just as Full House ended with a lesson, The Conners ends with reasons you may want to kill yourself. Tofu bacon is literally rape.

Darlene fights so her son can try out for the girls’ wrestling team. The parent conferences devolve into #ImWithHer rants. After much infighting, the parents give in, allow Darlene’s son to enter. Plot-twist: the girls still kick his ass.

David Hogg moves in next door and starts a reoccurring role as their wacky neighbor. You’ll never see his chin. Not because the fence is hiding it. But because there isn’t a chin.

This ^^ Taking the star off the show never turns out the way they hope.

This ridiculous hysterical hiatus has pretty much killed them anyway. Their audience is gone, never to be seen again. Which is too bad because I love Sara Gilbert.

Dan decides to transition, inspired by Caitlyn, So does Roseannes Mom. Or maybe Mom takes up with a young Liberan guy on "90 Day Fiance".

It's not a hiatus weirdo. The season ended already and they have yet to film the new season.
