THE FBI INSTRUCTED MR. HALPER TO SET UP A MEETING IN LONDON WITH MR. PAPADOPOULOS
This is spying, folks. They are FRICKED!
quote:
The F.B.I. instructed Mr. Halper to set up a meeting in London with Mr. Papadopoulos but gave him few details about the broader investigation, a person familiar with the episode said.

He arranged a meeting with Mr. Papadopoulos in London to discuss a Mediterranean natural gas project, offering $3,000 for his time and a policy paper.
quote:
British intelligence officials were also notified about the operation, the people familiar with the operation said, but it was unclear whether they provided assistance. A spokeswoman for the British government declined to comment.

First, he'll wait for this to be several pages.
Then, he'll come and post:
"I've looked through all of the posts and I'm not seeing where anyone explained why I should care about this".

Halper was sent by the FBI to freaking SPY on the Trump campaign, folks!!
quote:
During that conversation, Mr. Halper immediately asked about hacked emails and whether Russia was helping the campaign, according to Mr. Papadopoulos’s book. Angry over the accusatory questions, Mr. Papadopoulos ended the meeting.
The F.B.I. failed to glean any information of value from the encounters, and Ms. Turk returned to the United States.
quote:
Mr. Halper continued to work with the F.B.I. and later met with Mr. Page repeatedly in the Washington area. The two had coincidentally run into each other in July as well at Cambridge, according to people familiar with the episode.

The left on this subject trying to not call it spying is like a husband defending himself after being busted fooling around on his wife saying, "I wasn't cheating, I just had extramarital sex".

Time to be honest:
At this point, President Donald J. Trump would be TOTALLY justified in lining up his enemies in the FBI, Congress, the former Administration, the Democrat Party and the Media , making them get down on their knees and going all "Negan" on their azzes.....
You azzhole Lefties want PROOF Trump isn't a dictator: The aforementioned traitors are still BREATHING.....

I’d pay money if this happened at the WH Correspondents Dinner.

I hope this entire episode brings everyone closer to a libertarian philosophy. Government is evil folks, no way around it.

Oh, but the FBI used spies and entrapment methods with good intentions because of the RUSSIANS!
Just what I was thinking, its becoming very clear the new mantra is, we were very frightened of russian govt interference, we had to ensure the republic was safe, we had to check it out and pursue all avenues in doing so.

Nb4 James Comey says he doesn't see sending in an undercover agent to collect information as spying...

Can I just point out that this relates to the whole obstruction argument as far as I'm concerned.
Sure. You don't need to actually be charged with an underlying crime to be charged with obstruction.
But I'll be fricking goddamned if you should be able to get charged with obstruction when the entire fricking investigation has been outed as a fraud in the first place. You SHOULD obstruct that shite.

The decision to use Ms. Turk in the operation aimed at a presidential campaign official shows the level of alarm inside the F.B.I.
Uh, no. It shows the level they would go to try and destroy Trump.

Which brings us to liberals on this board when I asked WAAAAAY back in 2016 for them to go on record if it was OK to spy on an opposing political candidate and ALL of their chicken shite asses avoided answering like the plague
