Not sure if it has been mentioned yet.

I knew Halper was familiar. This was a huge deal back when. I remember it being all over the news.

This is not Halper’s first rodeo with shitfuckery.

“Four decades ago, Halper was responsible for a long-forgotten spying scandal involving the 1980 election, in which the Reagan campaign – using CIA officials managed by Halper, reportedly under the direction of former CIA Director and then-Vice-Presidential candidate George H.W. Bush – got caught running a spying operation from inside the Carter administration. The plot involved CIA operatives passing classified information about Carter’s foreign policy to Reagan campaign officials in order to ensure the Reagan campaign knew of any foreign policy decisions that Carter was considering.”

Remember, it was also Poppy Bush who orchestrated (delayed) the release of the Iran hostiges to be after Reagan was inaugurated.

Used our own people as pawns to make it look like Reagan orchestrated the release.
