It doesn\u2019t take an investigative genius to see what took place here.\u00a0<\/strong>Go\u00a0here<\/p>\n
Yesterday,\u00a0The Federalist\u2019s Mollie Hemingway wrote about how the New York Times admits that the Obama regime deployed several spies against the Trump campaign in 2016.<\/p>\n
Following months of angry claims by journalists and Democratic operatives that the Obama administration never spied on Donald Trump\u2019s 2016 presidential campaign, The New York Times admitted Thursday that multiple overseas intelligence assets were deployed against associates of the Republican nominee.<\/p>\n
It is not the first time the Times has revealed widespread spying operations against the campaign.<\/p>\n
In addition to noting that long-time informant Stefan Halper was tasked with collecting intelligence on the Trump campaign, the Times story details how a woman was sent overseas under a fake name and occupation to oversee the spy operation.<\/p>\n
The woman\u2019s real name is not mentioned in the article, though the Times says she went by \u201cAzra Turk\u201d and has a relationship with an unidentified federal intelligence agency.<\/p>\n
Halper was handpicked by a seasoned FBI counterintelligence agent out of the New York office, according to the article. While the Times does not identify the agent by name, the paper says the FBI agent spoke at a conference organized by Halper about a 2010 case involving Russians posing as Americans.<\/p>\n
The public schedule for a 2011 conference hosted by Halper about the exact same case shows that three FBI counterintelligence agents were invited to speak on the topic.<\/p>\n
The three agents\u00a0publicly identified\u00a0as speaking at that conference on the topic are George J. Ennis, Jr., Alan E. Kohler, Jr., and Stephen M. Somma. Ennis currently serves as the special agent in charge in the FBI\u2019s New York office, according to\u00a0his LinkedIn profile, and\u00a0worked closely\u00a0with Preet Bharara, former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, a virulent anti-Trump activist whom the president fired in 2017.<\/p>\n
The NYT also admits in its article that the aggressive and unprecedented action of deploying spies and luring American targets overseas to collect intelligence on a rival political campaign \u201cyielded no fruitful information.\u201d It is not clear whether information collected by Halper and \u201cTurk\u201d was used to justify formal spy warrants against any U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n
This Explains the Anti-Barr Freakout<\/h2>\n
So long as anti-Trump operatives controlled the FBI and DOJ, this type of leaking and concealing of information worked well. Most major media outlets have chosen to ignore the spying scandal in favor of non-stop anti-Trump advocacy.<\/p>\n
That left actual fact-finding and truth-seeking to a small group of media outlets and a handful of elected lawmakers tasked with oversight of the nation\u2019s spy agencies.<\/p>\n
When William Barr took over as attorney general, it was the first time in years the agency had any real political accountability.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s first attorney general recused himself from overseeing anything related to the 2016 campaign, and his deputy who took over is alleged to have been involved in a conspiracy to oust the president.<\/p>\n
While Barr was adamant that Mueller\u2019s special counsel probe be unimpeded and his report fully published, he scared the anti-Trump forces in and out of government when he said spying on opposing political campaigns is inappropriate. His public vow to examine whether the widespread spying operation against Trump and his affiliates was lawful and appropriate sent shockwaves through an organized anti-Trump political operation that had completely controlled the narrative until recently.<\/p>\n
