The Hill's John Solomon: At Least Four Previously Unknown Spies Tied To FBI Or Western ICs Tried To Infiltrate Trump Campaign
[Red State] Investigative Reporter John Solomon has confirmed that at least six informants with long-established associations to the FBI or to US or Western (British and Australian) intelligence and two Russians made contact with Trump business and campaign officials between March and October 2016. Solomon said the informants told Trump associates "they had possible political dirt or stolen emails harmful to Hillary Clinton, or unsolicited business in London or Moscow." Solomon obtained this information by conducting over 50 interviews with witnesses and by reviewing court records.But, but, but I thought Carter Page was supposed to be looking after these people ? It’s noteworthy that "several of the contacts occurred before the FBI formally launched a legally authorized probe into the Trump campaign and possible collusion on July 31, 2016." This is especially significant because the FBI or the intelligence agency involved may one day be called upon to explain the reason for the contact. Or maybe that’s too much to hope for. The names of most of the individuals contacted are familiar: Donald Trump Jr., Michael Cohen, Roger Stone, Carter Page, Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, Sam Clovis and General Michael Flynn. Solomon’s new information indicates that at least four additional, previously unknown spies tried to infiltrate the Trump campaign or his inner circle of business associates. We’ve known that the informants included Professor Stefan Halper, Russian businessman Hank Greenberg, former MI6 agent Christopher Steele and former FBI informer Felix Sater. But Solomon was able to uncover at least four others whose names have not been made public. He said he was asked by US government officials not to reveal their names to "avoid compromising their identities or nexus to intelligence and law enforcement work." Posted by: Besoeker 2018-12-02 |
