Monker wrote:Spygate; A complete lie by Trump. Trump said the FBI had "embedded" a spy in his campaign. I assumed that meant someone in the campaign was giving the FBI info...someone who did not work for the FBI. The truth is even more of a letdown than that. It was just some guy contacting various people in the campaign and asking questions. The people who had various suspicious connections. It was NOT a person within the campaign and it was NOT an "embedded spy"...a complete fabrication and lie by Trump. It was simply the FBI DOING THEIR JOB.
So is Stefan Halper just "some guy" or a covert FBI informant? You're not making much sense here.....
You previously harrumphed:
"Frankly, to me it means that someone in the campaign was whistle blowing about Trump...not an implanted FBI agent, which seems ridiculous to me."You were TOTALLY WRONG. No wonder you didn't show your face around these parts.

If FBI infiltration of the Trump team is to be expected, why did you say the very idea was "ridiculous" in the quote above?
Monker wrote:And, Trump knew the truth of all of this and he batantly lied when he said Obama signed off on an "embedded spy." It was nothing but rhetoric to get you all foaming at the mouth - and it worked.
So if it's all rhetoric, can you explain at who's bidding was Halper acting when he made unsolicited contact with the Trump campaign?
Additionally, if Halper is just some harmless "guy", why was he involved in a CIA spying operation in the 1980 election?
If he is just some "guy", why did the W. Post and NYTimes refuse to out him?
Monker wrote:The best quote I read here was somebody quoting Schiff who said he didn't see anything that proved the FBI had a spy within the Trump campaign...and the reply here was that was because he didn't see the actuall documents. Well, nobody but the FBI had - including Trump when he Tweeted the original lie which was based on media reports. The fact that you can critique Schiff, and not Trump - when they had the EXACT SAME INFO says a lot about how biased you people really are.
You have said repeatedly now -
"He only wins when Putin is on his side cheating for him."
"Yes, if Putin had not been trying to influence the election, including hacking, I don't think Trump would have won."So tell me, what grade is your security clearance and how many time have you read actual classified documents before reaching this conclusion?
