This entire op has Halper written all over it.
He basically did the same thing in the Carter WH
I would go far to say he is Strzok's handler as he most likely worked with Strzok's father in the Iranian crap
His father in law was infamous CIA spook Ray Steiner CLINE
They're all connected. They all change their names
CLINE - CLINESMITH
Any relation? Hmmmmmm…..
