FBI Director Kash Patel has turned over about 700 pages of previously unreleased FBI documents to Congress. The documents relate to the 2016 Russia collusion hoax against President Donald Trump and his campaign.
There’s not a ton of new information in the documents that we didn’t already know, but there are some interesting tidbits. The documents do contain a lot of new information about the exploits of the FBI confidential informant, Deep State neocon spy, and crack cocaine aficionado, Stefan Halper.
You might remember him as the really fat guy who tried to entrap George Papadopoulos in a honeypot scheme in London as part of the Russia hoax.
The documents reveal how Halper was brought in by the FBI to help carry out the fake Russia collusion hoax against the Trump campaign. Halper has what you might call one of those “long and storied careers” as a member of the Deep State in Washington, DC.
Halper started his career by working for three presidential Chiefs of Staff in the 1970s: Alexander Haig, Donald Rumsfeld, and Dick Cheney. He became the National Director for Policy Development for George HW Bush’s 1979 presidential campaign. When Bush Sr. ended up as the running mate for Ronald Reagan in that election, Halper then set up an office inside the Reagan campaign. He worked with former CIA officials to spy on Jimmy Carter’s reelection campaign.
We’re not making any of this up. Here’s a 1983 New York Times article about Halper spying on the Carter campaign.
Halper was then promoted to be the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State from 1981 through 1984. In 1984, he became a Senior Advisor to the Department of Defense. He held that job through the rest of the Reagan administration, through Bush Sr.’s administration, and through Bill Clinton’s first term.
Here’s where this boring story starts to actually get interesting.
While working as the Senior Advisor to the Department of Defense, Halper was arrested in 1995 during a traffic stop. He had crack cocaine in his position and lost his job with the Department of Defense.
Then, in that unusual phenomenon that only seems to happen in Washington, DC, Halper managed to fail upward. This should give you a sense of just how corrupt the uni-party cesspool really is in DC. After getting fired for crack cocaine, Halper was hired to serve as the Senior Advisor to the Department of Justice!
The Clinton administration hired a known crackhead—who had worked for multiple neocon Republican administrations over the previous 20 years—to advise former Attorney General Janet Reno. The federal case file for Halper’s crack arrest was later destroyed in the Eastern District of Virginia.
Oh, and Halpert’s father-in-law was Ray Cline, the former head of the CIA’s Directorate of Intelligence, for whatever that’s worth.
Halper was paid $1.2 million of your tax dollars to spy for the FBI. In 2016, Halper fed the FBI a false story about General Mike Flynn, who was chosen to be President Trump’s first National Security Advisor. Halper told the FBI that he had seen General Flynn leave an overseas conference alone and in the company of a Russian woman named Svetlana Lokhova. Halper claimed this happened in 2015, when Flynn was the Director of National Intelligence.
This was a complete and total lie. The FBI paid Halper for the information even though they knew it was false. Lokhova later sued Halper for defamation, because the incident never happened. That didn’t matter to the FBI, though. They needed to generate false connections between the Trump campaign and mysterious Russians, and Halper did what they wanted.
Also in 2016, Halper tried to set up George Papadopoulos in a meeting in London. He enlisted the help of a mysterious FBI honeypot named Azra Turk, who posed as Halper’s assistant. Whoever she is, she tried unsuccessfully to seduce Papadopoulos and kept pressing him for any clues that would tie the Trump campaign to Russia.
Halper also tried to get Trump campaign official Carter Page to admit to Russia collusion. He secretly recorded conversations with Page, who repeatedly denied knowledge of any such thing (there were never any Russians or any collusion involved in this caper). Despite having recorded evidence of Page’s innocence, the FBI lied to the FISA court to obtain warrants to spy on the Trump campaign.
It’s good that we’re finally starting to get a little bit of new information about the Russia hoax now that Kash Patel is running the FBI. But when will the arrests of these people happen?
