US informant may have received taxpayer funds to spy on Trump

[Aletheia4u]

They always has been using taxpayer's funds to fund their agendas. They will be a damn fool to come out of their own pockets.

The Department of Defense may have used taxpayer funds to pay longtime informant Stefan Halper, a Cambridge University professor, to recruit members of the Trump campaign as sources in the run-up to the 2016 election, Finance Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said in an explosive letter on Wednesday.

Grassley, writing to James Baker, the director of the Office of Net Assessment (ONA) at the Defense Department, or DOD, also flagged other suspicious payments to Halper -- including some for DOD contracts that he may not have performed, and others from "unknown" foreign entities. (In response to a lawsuit last year alleging that he was part of a smear campaign to discredit the Trump campaign, Halper claimed a kind of immunity ordinarily afforded to government agents.)

Ask tramp, he is known to turn over documents. LOL

And no tramp was never spied on and Grassley' letter is wrong, the Steele dossier has never been debunked.

"Clapper has now admitted that there was Spying in my campaign. Large dollars were paid to the Spy, far beyond normal. Starting to look like one of the biggest political scandals in U.S. history. SPYGATE - a terrible thing!"

- President Donald Trump in a tweet, May 24, 2018

President Trump, in a continuing effort to discredit the criminal investigation into his campaign's possible links with Russia entities, has now seized on "spygate." This refers to the news that the FBI obtained information from an informant - Stefan Halper, an emeritus professor at the University of Cambridge - who met with at least three members of Trump's campaign staff suspected of having links to Russia.

As an informant, Halper openly asked questions; a spy uses tradecraft to obtain information. So far, there has been nothing to indicate that there was a "spy" mandate as part of Halper's assistance for the FBI, which apparently started after the agency opened a counterintelligence probe. Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., a member of the Intelligence Committee who was briefed on the operation, says the FBI acted properly and "it has nothing to do with Donald Trump."

Trump's 'spygate' claim is latest off-target salvo at Russia probe
