Two months before the 2016 election, George Papadopoulos received a strange request for a meeting in London, one of several the young Trump adviser would be offered -- and he would accept -- during the presidential campaign.
The meeting request, which has not been reported until now, came from Stefan Halper, a foreign policy expert and Cambridge professor with connections to the CIA and its British counterpart, MI6.
Halper's September 2016 outreach to Papadopoulos wasn't his only contact with Trump campaign members. The 73-year-old professor, a veteran of three Republican administrations, met with two other campaign advisers, The Daily Caller News Foundation learned....
According to a source with knowledge of the meeting, Halper asked Papadopoulos: "George, you know about hacking the emails from Russia, right?"
Papadopoulos told Halper he didn't know anything about emails or Russian hacking, the source said and spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign. The professor did not follow up on the line of inquiry....
Halper invited campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page to attend a July 2016 symposium held at Cambridge regarding the upcoming election, Page told TheDCNF.
Halper also requested and attended a one-on-one meeting with another senior campaign official, TheDCNF learned....
Halper is a close associate of Sir Richard Dearlove -- the former MI6 chief....
Months earlier, in early fall 2016, Dearlove reportedly met with dossier author Steele. Steele sought out Dearlove's advice on how to proceed with information he gathered on Trump's ties to Russia, The Washington Post reported....

In my mind, they are still trying with all the obstruction.
Sounds like a US ally colluding with the highest levels of a criminal American presidency to thwart the will of the American people.drcrinum said:
Sounds like Halper was conducting MI6 fishing expeditions to me.
There is one interesting remark in that article: That many 'leaked' stories at the height of the 'muh Russia' outcry originated in the UK press. I remember pondering over that fact myself at the time.mrad85 said:
If MI6 was involved, I'll wager Brennan was up to his eyeballs in this.

Just think where we would be if Comey would have been strong while being as partisan to the left as he was.dreyOO said:
I'm saddened to see an FBI Director that was so partisan towards the left.
I'm surprised to see what a wimp he is as well.
But more than anything, I'm more shocked to see what a dumbass he is. He should have stfu a long time ago. The more talking he does, the bigger the hole gets.
I'm combing through this batch still, but just think, we've only seen 10% of them!Synopsis said:
How in the hell are such "smart" people so dumb as to not realize there is a data trail on everything they do? We are screwed as a country and have been for some time with all of this rampant corruption. Geez.
