The FBI Informant Who Monitored the Trump Campaign, Stefan Halper, Oversaw a CIA Spyi

[Ethereal]

Standard deep state chicanery. The national security state - the CIA, the NSA, the FBI - are a government unto themselves. They are the true power behind the throne.

I don't understand. The republicans have complete control of the government. James Comey was a republican (who was not a fan of Hillary, and was chosen by a republican president). Robert Mueller is a republican. This deep state $#@! is moronic, I'm sorry. I don't understand how some of you can miss the implications of Trump committing treason and working with foreign entities to win the election, but the FBI and CIA have suddenly become the target of your anger now that your precious Trump is in their cross hairs.

So the President of the US committing treason by conspiring with a foreign power is believable, but the idea of a deep state is "moronic" somehow.

The cognitive dissonance is breathtaking.

If being a republican means you support republicanism then guys like Comey and so many others sure aren't republicans. They are more like cancer cells pretending they are normal cells as they attack them.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

That is the first that I heard of the 1980 spying operation against Carter. Bush the Elder was an ex-CIA director and prior to that a long-time operative, so it is plausible.

So let me get this straight. It was Russia Russia Russia collusion for 18 months. Mix some obstruction even tho the guy that launched the investigation wrote the support document that fires Comey. Makes no sense BTW..

Now we are getting closer to this overthrow attempt and all of the sudden the republicans spied on the Dems. Uh huh! Keep firing BS dem fheads. This $#@! is about to get all over you people. I loved it 12 months ago when my buddy kept yelling he colluded with Russia and will be impeached. I said you rally want to peel these covers back? You likely won’t like what you find because this Russia thing is fantasy politics not reality. Reality may be a $#@!!

You know, this whole thing might be the best thing that could happen for us. It might just be what it takes to awaken the American people to the danger we face from these evil people.

If you're going to make wild assertions like this, you better have some evidence.

That highlights my point. It may be true. It may not be true. But the folks who are trying to get to be bottom of it are being bullied into dropping their investigation.

There is evidence for one, and none for the other.

Jesus Christ himself could show up with evidence that Trump lied and colluded with Russia, and you'd crucify him worse than the first time.

there is no evidence of anyone except for Hillary and Co. cozying up to the Russians...............
If you have that proof that Mueller needs, best hop on to your skateboard and get it to him immediately
