AWKWARD

The reason you cannot pronounce the names of many people in government jobs today is because white people with conventional white names are last on any hiring list in every government office from city and county & state all the way to the FBI !

So the’mole’ in Trump’s campaign was to protect him from the Russians. Did they also put a mole in Hilary’s campaign to protect her too? No? Thought not.

Let me explain counterintelligence to you, Ms. Rangappa. I know a bit more about it than you.

Counterintelligence is the part of intelligence work concerned with detecting and “countering” hostile intelligence activities. Counterespionage – finding actual spies in your own ranks – is a subset of this.

You claim that the FBI was “concerned” that the Russians were trying to infiltrate the Trump campaign to disrupt the election, compromise him, influence him or engage in some other nefarious activity, as Russians will.

Fair enough. If there was such “concern” the FBI had a legitimate duty to do something about it. Here is the truth teller, though.

In a genuine counterintelligence operation the first thing the FBI would have done is quietly contact senior Trump officials, specifically including Trump. They would have explained the situation and then would have worked out a plan – with Trump’s cooperation – to deal with the situation. Only in a most extraordinary situation would the FBI or CIA fail to inform the allegedly targeted U.S. citizens. That extraordinary situation would be one in which they had solid – and I mean solid – proof that the campaign was already in touch with and willingly working with a hostile intelligence service. Obviously, this was not the case here or we would already know about it and Trump and Company would have been indicted.

It was almost certainly John Brennan who set this up. He used the FBI to do the dirty work with Halper because CIA officers are required to identify themselves when working with U.S. citizens (yes, all you tinfoil hat people out there, CIA officers really do identify themselves to U.S. citizens if they are engaged in any kind of operational activity.) He asked the Obama minions in the senior ranks of the FBI to do it so his fingerprints would not be on it.

They used a known intelligence asset, this old fool Halper, as an access agent without informing the campaign or Trump himself. Halper’s instructions were clear: Get a Trump campaign official to acknowledge that the Russians had hacked the DNC’s e-mails and that the campaign was actively working with the Russians and accepting their assistance in the election.

Of course, this was ridiculous, so they continued to try to ensnare Trump officials, such as MIke Flynn, on utterly specious grounds.

This operation had nothing to do with “helping” Trump. It was set up by senior Obama people who did not want to lose their grip on power. This why they are so desperate to keep the relevant documents out of the hands of Congress.

Remember, the low and middle-level FBI and CIA personnel are mostly loyal Americans. They would never willingly be part of this nasty and illegal business. They were following orders from the most senior levels and naturally assumed there was a legitimate reasonh for all of this.

Ah! But there is one detail the traitors at the top could not deal with! In the CIA and especially in the FBI, everything you do has to be documented and it is then placed on computer systems which CAN’T BE ACCESSED OR OTHERWISE FIDDLED WITH without triggering alerts.

So, all of this activity had to be recorded. Any order to “keep it off the books” would have immediately triggered suspicions and the rumor mill would have started. Some officials might have even refused to comply.

Brennan, Comey, McCabe, Strozk (?), Page, Lynch and all the rest are caught in a trap and they can’t get out now.

As for Ms. Rangappa, I am sure the next loyal American who rises to the head of the FBI will remember her name. Enjoy that desk in Butte, Montana, honey.

I guess about half the country is stupid enough to agree with her statement.
Just like all the crying about the NRA and how guns are the problem with school shootings.
