For a series about Spygate, it may be good to discuss the actual "Spy" in the story: Stefan "Walrus" Halper.
"Spies are a Cambridge tradition. We’ve produced more of them than any other British university." – Christopher Andrew

This is a very comprehensive bio with many references
Halper is as Deep State as it gets
In 1967, Halper received a Bachelor of Arts with high honours from Stanford University. After this, Halper started to study at the University at Oxford, where he studied with Bill Clinton.
This was at the same time that Clinton became friends with Strobe Talbott, the future brother-in-law of Cody Shearer.
A few years later, in 1971, Halper received a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Oxford. Shortly after this, Halper was employed at the White House Domestic Council, a position he remained in until 1973, as he transferred to the Office of Management and Budget as Assistant Director of the Management and Evaluation Division until 1974.
With the resignation of President Richard Nixon and the installation of President Gerald Ford, Halper became the Assistant to the Chief of Staff, a position held until January 20, 1977. The three Chiefs of Staff he worked under were Alexander Haig, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney.
As President Jimmy Carter was inaugurated, he announced that he would not hire any Chiefs of Staff, which led to Halper gaining new employment as a legislative assistant for Senator William Roth of Delaware from 1977 to 1979. In this role, Halper also became Special Counsel to the Joint Economic Committee.
In 1979, Halper left both positions to join the Presidential campaign of George H. W. Bush as the National Director for Policy Development and Research, on the recommendation of his father-in-law, Ray Cline, who was the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Halper had married Ray’s daughter, Sibyl Cline (now MacKenzie).
One year later, in 1980, at the Republican National Convention, Richard V. Allen – then Ronald Reagan’s foreign policy adviser for his campaign – searched for a potential Vice President for Reagan, and discussed with Halper about the potential of H.W. Bush filling the position.
After H. W. Bush agreed to become Reagan’s running mate, Halper’s role changed, as he became the Director of Policy Coordination for the Reagan-Bush campaign after the recommendation of both David R. Gergen and James A. Baker III, which he worked on with Robert Gambino, a veteran of the Central Intelligence Agency. Halper also worked with other Central Intelligence Agency veterans including Ray Cline, Sam Wilson, Howard Aaron, Henry Knoche, Bruce Rounds, Jon Thomas, Jack Coackley and Richard Stillwell.
