The slime that is leaking from the FBI and Department of Justice relating to their conduct during the 2016 election campaign just keeps getting worse. On Monday, The Conservative Tribune<\/a> posted an article about money paid to Stefan Halper to spy on the Trump campaign.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Over the past few days the public has learned that the FBI had at least one spy<\/a> in the Trump campaign, Stefan Halper. It\u2019s also been revealed that\u00a0Halper formerly worked for the CIA<\/a> (and perhaps still does).\u00a0In addition, Halper allegedly meddled in at least one previous U.S. presidential election and appears to have continued spying <\/a>at least nine months after the 2016 election.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The latest devastating revelation? The Obama administration\u00a0paid Halper $282,000<\/a> (or $411,000 depending on how the budgeting worked) to work for a mysteriously named \u201cOther Defense Agency\u201d just days after Trump pulled to within a point <\/a>of Clinton in the polls.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ‘cover story’ for this payment was that Halper was being paid to produce an economic study on India and China. $282,000 is a serious amount of money to be paid for that study.<\/p>\n

The article continues:<\/p>\n

Want to hear a remarkable coincidence? On July 26, 2017, Halper appears to have been paid $129,000 for further work on the Sino-Indian study. Two days later, Halper emailed Carter Page, asking what he or the Trump administration (it\u2019s not clear which) planned to do moving forward on the collusion investigation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He also told Page that Virginia\u2019s summer was pleasant and that it \u201cwould be great to catch up.\u201d Civility in spying really has come a long way.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Has anyone ever seen this study?<\/p>\n

This is more than a little fishy. It also illustrates the need for a serious audit of how the government spends our tax money. It has taken many years to build the swamp. Unfortunately it may take many years to drain it. Hopefully we can keep the right people in place long enough to get the job done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
