Collusion with the Brits is still possibly a conspiracy with foreign agents, but it wouldn't be a Trump conspiracy. It would be holdover members of the previous administration.

One thing I did take note of was that he testified that he "met" Bruce Ohr after the election and was referred to him by Chris Steele. No mention that Ohr's wife was working for him. Seemed a weird thing to lie about.

Perhaps they know that they're marionettes and the reason the exercise is still ongoing is because we want a very clear picture of who, exactly, is really pulling the strings. Just a guess. That would mean that Mueller & Rosenstein aren't really white hats or black hats, they're just useful patsies doing what they believe to be their job/duty.coyote68 said:
Could Mueller and Rosenstein not see that they might be part of a treasonous plot? The problem with a coverup is that you can never cover everything up and no one wants to be the first to walk to the gallows. Greed and arrogance can produce some disastrous results.
What bugs me about this agent being Stefan Halper is that (a) he's 73 and thus no longer a field agent;(b) his identity and past are widely known and public knowledge; (c) meaning if he was in any real danger, pull him in from the cold; and finally (d) if the Russians wanted him dead he'd be six feet under already.Quote:

Yes the reason given for the redaction is ridiculous, it's just another one of those embarrassing covers or covering a weakness in the case, puts questions of actual cause in place, especially regarding surveillance.aggiehawg said:What bugs me about this agent being Stefan Halper is that (a) he's 73 and thus no longer a field agent;(b) his identity and past are widely known and public knowledge; (c) meaning if he was in any real danger, pull him in from the cold; and finally (d) if the Russians wanted him dead he'd be six feet under already.Quote:

Stinks just like the Valerie Plame crap.
Just the opposite. An attorney in private practice who discussed his client's legal issues with Michael Cohen, in his capacity as a lawyer in consultation is requesting the Court to protect his clients' confidentiality.Quote:

Coincidentally, does this timeline corroborate Trump's old tweet about Schneiderman being the next to go down after Spitzer and Weiner?
Would this mean that Cohen talked to Trump about this when it happened a few years back? Would that be illegal (or probably just unethical) of Cohen?aggiehawg said:

Simpson spent a lot of time talking about Michael Cohen in that interview. Insisted that everything about Cohen in the dossier was true and Cohen hadn't produced sufficient evidence (in his opinion) of his whereabouts during the time in question. Even dragged Cohen's daughter's travel into it. How did Simpson get that info?RoscoePColtrane said:
Thinking back on Dianne Feinstein releasing that Simpson transcript to the public, was really blown off by most, but from a legal standpoint you have to say to yourself, what an absolute bone head thing to do. In her haste to try and throw Trump in a bad light, she exposed much more of the guts of this sham the left is trying to pull on the public. It's a wonder she hasn't be Scalia'd

No. Someone else talked to Trump and then he had Michael Cohen call the lawyer, Gleason, to consult on the case.IDAGG said:Would this mean that Cohen talked to Trump about this when it happened a few years back? Would that be illegal (or probably just unethical) of Cohen?aggiehawg said:

Here's the preceding article to the above one by Jeff Carlson -- this chap is a good investigative reporter -- provides more info about Hakluyt, Dearlove, Halper & Co.RoscoePColtrane said:

Also interesting in that he categorizes Papadopoulos & Page as 'tools' who were used by the schemers. If fact he hints that both were 'useful idiots'.
Quote:
Some people have called Page and/or Papadopoulos "moles", but that's really not what it appears they were. The better description is "tools". Once Stefan Halper dirtied them up, they gave the appearance of being involved in a vast Russian conspiracy.
It was the appearance that mattered in order to generate the foundation for: the counterintelligence operation; and the subsequent FISA surveillance warrant; and the Vast Russian Conspiracy narrative; and ultimately the post-election Special Counsel investigation. In total, this was the Peter Strzok "Insurance Policy".
Quote:
Remember the Peter Strzok trip to London? The source of John Brennan's "EC" is likely FBI and CIA operative Stefan Halper a foreign policy expert and Cambridge professor with connections to the CIA and its British counterpart, MI6.
There are about two dozen check-references to identify who the 'source' was in providing the underlying intelligence to CIA Director John Brennan; who then wrote the "EC" for the FBI; which started the 2016 Counterintelligence Operation.
There's more to the story. Remember Robert Hannigan, the Director of GCHC who unexpectedly resigned right after Trump's inauguration, was in communication with Brennan and even met with him about possible Russian interference in the Election. So likely it's a larger scheme involving former UK intel (Hakluyt & Dearborne & Steele) as well as active UK intel (Hannigan & Five Eyes). Was it all coordinated, or did the pieces just randomly begin to far together? Was someone on top pulling all the strings? No question though, all the players were pro-Hillary & despised Trump.ccatag said:
So questions I have at this point, was Brennan a 'tool' of Halper to ultimately create the EC and take it to DOJ/FB? Was Comey a 'tool' of Brennan to take the EC and start an counter-intel investigation of Trump?
