Pentagon Whistleblow Demoted After Exposing Millions Paid To FBI Spy Halper, Clinton Crony

"A Pentagon whistleblower was stripped of his security clearance and demoted after complaining about questionable government contracts with both FBI informant spy Stefan Halper and a company headed by Chelsea Clinton's "best friend" for whom then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arranged meetings, reports the Washington Times.
Adam Lovinger, a Trump supporter and 12-year veteran of the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment (ONA), filed a whistleblower reprisal complaint with the Defense Department's inspector general in May against ONA boss James Baker - who hired Halper, 73, to "conduct foreign relations" and kept the details of the spy's contracts "close to the vest." Baker was appointed chief of the ONA in 2015 by Obama Defense Secretary, Ashton Carter.
At that point, Lovinger wouldn't have known was a spy working with the FBI/DOJ on operation "Crossfire Hurricane" - the code name for the Obama administration's counterintelligence operation against the Trump campaign.
In an internal October 2016 email to higher-ups, Mr. Lovinger wrote of “the moral hazard associated with the Washington Headquarters Services contracting with Stefan Halper,” the complaint said. It said Mr. Baker hired Mr. Halper to “conduct foreign relations,” a job that should be confined to government officials.
...
In the fall of 2016, as the election loomed, Mr. Lovinger sent emails to Mr. Baker and other officials at the Office of Net Assessment complaining about the entire outside contracting process. He also said the office failed to write papers on long-term threats presented by radical Islam, China and Iran.
And in September 2016, Lovinger sent an email directly to Baker summing up the perceived problems, which reads in part:
“Some of our contractors distribute to others their ONA work for personal and professional self-promotion,” wrote Lovinger. “Another part is the growing narrative that ONA’s most high-profile contractors are known for getting paid a lot to do rather peripheral work."
“On the issue of pay, our contractors boast about how much they get paid from ONA. Such boasting, of course, generates jealously among those outside the club, and particularly from those who have tried to secure ONA contracts unsuccessfully.”
"On the issue of quality, more than once I have heard our contractor studies labeled ‘derivative,’ ‘college-level’ and based heavily on secondary sources. One of our contractor studies was literally cut and pasted from a World Bank report that I just happened to have read the week before reading the contractor study itself. Even the font was the same."

Yeah, trying to force those assholes to swallow that big of a red pill made them lash out in fear.

Hahahaha
Typical vermin move
I remember leftists sneering about the original source of the Ellison story.
You think we should wait for Wapo to cover this?

I am beginning to hate our government. Seems it’s only purpose is to protect its own and grow the beast. Trump is the only medicine for the times. I don’t see anyone else remotely capable of breaking up the cabal. But How can he succeed with such infiltration at all levels internally and externally (media). Keep up the good fight my man.

Oh, these people who always "haha you used __________ as your source" without bothering to discuss the actual topic at all, always know exactly what they are doing.

georgette wont come back to address the underlying story. She is only capable of attacking the source and has a very low IQ

Go check the dossier thread. Halper was part of the Chris Steele network.

Pfft! Internet news, lol. I'll believe it when I read it in my afternoon newspaper. Or perhaps, hear it discussed at the Rotary Club.
