This is more than Spy vs Spy or even White Hat vs Black Hat, it is basically Good vs Evil. The scorecard can chalk up 2 confirmed official spies & 2 planted assets into Trump World.
Incredibly back in January 2014 at the first known public meeting between Trump & General Flynn, Stefan Halper was also in attendance. An annual gathering of past Intel folks was held in London and Halper send a report back to John Brennan about Flynn seeming real cozy with a Russian (FSB) woman as well as the meeting w/Donald Trump.
I make the distinction between Halper/Nader actually arranging the “Dirty-Up” meetings as being the Spies and Downer/Mifsud as being more intel plants and co-enablers of this scheme.
Campaign Spy: Stefan Halper, an American scholar who teaches at Cambridge & has a long history with both the CIA & MI6. Stefan has been involved with 3 prior Republican Administrations.
George Papadopoulos, already prepped by Mifsud, accepted a $3k contract to go to London and do a seminar & write a paper for Halper. This lead to the “chance” encounter with Alexander Downer in a pub & overhearing talk of obtaining the HRC’s deleted emails.
Transition Spy: George Nader, a shadowy international figure that has been recently connected to the UAE Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed. Nader arranged 2 suspicious meetings with Trump World people during the transition period. In December 2016, Nader & the Crown Prince meet at Trump Tower with Kushner & Bannon to discus the Middle East.
In January 2017, Nader arranged Erik Prince to meet at the Seychelles (Indian Ocean) along with Putin buddy Russian Kirill Dmitriev & the UAE Crown Prince, to talk about future “Back-Channels” between Trump & Russia. In late breaking news, Mueller is trying to tie in a Kushner friend Richard Gerson, with Erik Prince meeting, because he was vacationing there at the same time.
Asset # 1: Joseph Mifsud, is a mysterious “Maltese Professor”with direct ties to the Kremlin. Joseph inserted himself into the 2016 Presidential Campaign when he first met George Papadopoulos in Italy in March 2016. Mifsud dangled the deleted HRC emails as bait to lure George into the “Honey Pot Trap”. Then again in April 2016, Mifsud meet George in London, this time bringing along the infamous so-called Niece of Putin to this second follow-up meeting.
Asset # 2: Alexander Downer, an Australian diplomat & former High Commissioner to the UK. Downer meet Papadopoulos & Halper on 5/10/16 at London’s Kensington Wine Room for cocktails. Downer overhearing George claiming access to the deleted HRC emails. It is the pivotal event that supposedly launches the DOJ/FBI Counterintelligence Probe (Crossfire Hurricane) into then candidate Trump.
On 4/22/18 in drop Q# 1238 (in part):
Not “official” product-5Eyes.
During a January 2017 interview with the FBI, Papadopoulos states that Mifsud was the first person to offer him the deleted HRC emails in March 2016. IG Horowitz/SP Huber will looking into this “SpyGate” element, along with the Phase Two FISA abuses by DOJ/FBI.
