What's the point of a plant if the individual can't gain access to the campaign? It's not like they're going to tap some dude on the street.

I can't keep up with all this crap. Basically all this nonsense has taught me that about 100 people are involved in every facet of the election.

I honestly have no idea...

The most likely answer is that he was really good at covering his bases and convinced Navarro of his suitability for a job.

If I put on my tin foil hat... Navarro was in on it too. Who knows..

Halper, who already knew Navarro in the context of being a China scholar and interviewing for his anti-China book and film, pitched himself for an ambassadorship in Asia, according to a source briefed on their interactions.
That really doesn't make much of a case for Halper not being shady

TigerinDC09, I usually don’t support your threads...but I don’t get why this is getting downvoted

Al you did was post a link and imply it’s interesting

You are not at all making this an anti trump spin
