It's too late ... Sara Carter already knows. She's been hinting at his initials for three days now and she's chomping at the bit to let it out
It's Stefan Halper. I mean it's been common knowledge for a number of days now (Daily Caller has reported the name, but most MSM won't).
There is nothing really "earth shattering" about Halper in particular. No average American has ever heard of him. I think what's earth shattering is the fact he was being used by CIA/FBI to infiltrate the campaign (even though he was never really "in" the campaign). Halper has close ties to MI6 and CIA (his father-in-law was a well known CIA official) and Halper himself worked for Nixon and Reagan in foreign policy roles.
I think what would be earth shattering is if some well known person in the campaign was working for FBI the entire time. What if someone like a Manafort was a spy? THAT would be pretty fricking interesting (though Manafort is unlikely for obvious reasons). NYT leaves that possibility open when they said "at least one" informant in the campaign. "At least one" implies they have information that "maybe" more than one infiltrated.
And it really makes you wonder how long the deep state has been doing shite like this. What if they've been rigging the game for decades? What if they've spied on and/or subverted previous presidential candidates? What if they've been successful all this time without being caught?

It would explain a few particular races such as 1992, 1996, and 2008.

My understanding is that Halper offered money and requested meetings multiple times to both Page and Papadapalas. The theory is that he fed Papadapalas the info about Russia having Hillary's emails, then Pap blabbed about it in the bar to the Australian Clinton Foundation donor. Who then alerted the US authorities.
tldr: Papadapalas was setup, fed intel about Russia, in order to justify the FISA warrants.
