It was written by Christopher Andrew. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Andrew_(historian))
From the Federalist: (https://archive.is/BBWQu#selection-335.0-343.429) "Halper’s job of connecting targets with Russians, however, dates back to January 2014, when he worked at Cambridge University alongside Sir Richard Dearlove, the former director of the British intelligence service MI6, and Christopher Andrew, the official historian for the British counterintelligence group MI5."
So Andrew is connected to Halper and Mifsud, which in turn, connects to Brennan.
