Whistleblower Exposes Key Player in FBI Russia Probe: “It was all a Set-up”

Whistleblower Exposes Key Player in FBI Russia Probe: “It was all a Set-up”

Adam Lovinger, a former Defense Department analyst, never expected that what he stumbled on during his final months at the Pentagon would expose an integral player in the FBI’s handling of President Donald Trump’s campaign and alleged Russia collusion.

Lovinger, a whistleblower, is now battling to save his career. The Pentagon suspended his top-secret security clearance May 1, 2017, when he exposed through an internal review that Stefan Halper, who was then an emeritus Cambridge professor, had received roughly $1 million in tax-payer funded money to write Defense Department foreign policy reports, his attorney Sean Bigley said. Before Lovinger’s clearance was suspended he had taken a detail to the National Security Council as senior director for strategy. He was only there for five months before he was recalled to the Pentagon, stripped of his prestigious White House detail, and ordered to perform bureaucratic make-work in a Pentagon annex Bigley calls “the land of misfit toys.” His security clearance was eventually revoked in March 2018, despite the Pentagon “refusing to turn over a single page of its purported evidence of Lovinger’s wrongdoing,” Bigley stated. Conservative watchdog group, Judicial Watch, recently filed a federal lawsuit against the Defense Department to obtain the withheld records.

Lovinger also raised concerns about Halper’s role in conducting what appeared to be diplomatic meetings with foreigners on behalf of the U.S. government because his role as contractor forbids him from doing so, according to U.S. federal law.

An investigation by SaraACarter.com reveals that the documents and information Lovinger stumbled on and other documents obtained by this news site, raise troubling questions about Halper, who was believed to have worked with the CIA and part of the matrix of players in the bureau’s ‘CrossFire Hurricane’ investigation into Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Halper, who assisted the FBI in the Russia investigation, appears to also have significant ties to the Russian government, as well as sources connected directly to President Vladimir Putin.

Halper did not respond to requests for comment.

So we have another person who stumbled across the plan to bring Trump down, this time from within the DoD. It started out with the guy noticing unusual payments to a guy named Halper (we all know him). The DoD employee was not engaged with the plot or knew anything about what was going on. He reported his findings to his superiors. He then found his detail to the White House was ended after 5 months and he sent to to some DoD annex and had his security clearance stripped by the DoD.

The DoD is refusing to discuss his case or provide the reason he was removed from the White House or why his security clearance was yanked.


Numerous sources with knowledge of the allegations Halper made about Flynn, said that they were “absolutely” false and that Flynn and Lokhova only spoke for a short time at the dinner. Several email exchanges between Lokhova, Flynn and his assistant that took place after the dinner were generic in nature, as Flynn had asked her for a copy of a historical 1930s postcard she had brought to the seminar.

“But it didn’t matter that it wasn’t the truth,” said the former senior intelligence official. “It was already out there because of Halper’s allegations and the constant leaking and lying of false stories of those to the media.”


How much longer is this bs special counsel witch hunt charade going to go n for.

For those who follow some of this stuff it does seem like Sara Carter and Judicial Watch have uncovered more than all the government worker Bees together. Judicial Watch has been a force that just keeps digging; good for them.

We don't need to just drain the swamp, we need to burn it. Burn it with fire!!!

Halper, who was a spy for the fbi against trump team members BEFORE they officially announced they "officially" started their investigation into trump russia collusion, ends up having connections to Russians close to Putin.

Who else did the FBI rely on?

Chirstopher steele, former M16 agent who was working for Glenn simpson. Steele not only was backchanneling with the FBI, bruce Ohr from Obamas doj, and Dem. vice intel chair Mark warner, but was also communicating and setting up meetinsg with russian oligarch Deripaska. Thats right, the same deripaska that is supposed to be a nefarious russian connected to puting that manafort was enaged with shady deals.

Then there is simpson himself, who not only was engaged with conversations with all of the people mentioned above, but also had as his clients the very two russian conspirators that don jr. met with in trump tower.

Every single outside asset that we know of the FBI using in its trump russia investigation has significant ties to russian oligarchs, often times stronger ties to the same exact russians that warranted an investigation into trumps team.

And yet this is not seen as a big deal.

I thought the Mueller investigation was about rooting out ALL russian interference? Apparently not.

It could be worse. I have seen comments (Qanon so take it for how you view it) that Obama did indeed issue a presidential pardon (a few actually) dealing with Clinton, Huma and everyone else involved in this entire mess when he left office. While presidential pardons are suppose to be a matter of public record given the players involved I could see them trying to hide the pardons.

It also goes into why we have not seen prosecutions of the players involved in all of that.. yet. The legal theory is the pardons would not apply to any new crimes committed the moment obama left office. Thats one theory as to why the SC is being allowed to continue down this road. They keep exposing crimes by the cabal that can be used against them.

Again take it how you want..

As for Sara Carter and judicial watch they seem to be one of the few groups that are still credible and put truth and accuracy over headlines and partisan politics (imo anyways).

Yep I have been saying so for over a year.

If this investigation was about rooting out russian influence, then Simpson, Halper, steele, Bruce ohr, Mercury LLC., the Podesta group, and many more would have all received the same treatment as Manafort, flynn, papadopolous, carter page, and all of the other people on the trump team.

But every single time, the fbi or mueller go very easy on any DNC connected person with ties to these same russians, and goes unbelievably hard on any trump connected people.

This, in combination with what we see in the fbi texts, their absolute disdain for trump, there outright bragging of insurance policies and needing to stop trump; and it all adds up to only one thing.

There were people very high up in the intel community that sought to bring down trump using corrupt methods, and there has been a cover up over those actions ever since.

And not that it is the biggest revelation in this article, but here we have yet another example of Obamas administration punishing whistle blowers as harshly as possible.

This is how you ensure that every one of your agencies is as partisan as possible, and ensure a culture where we see agency after agency acting in corrupt manners to benefit Obam; his doj, irs, epa, fbi, etc.

That is just their cover story while the reality of the political bias hacks is, leave no stone un-turned until something, anything, can be found to disparage Trump or his supporters.

I hope Muller makes a wrong turn and ends up in jail himself or drug through the mud until he ends up bankrupted..

What better way to destroy your opponent than by accusing them of the very behavior your involved in. If you think about it since the are already engaging in this conduct it is easy to create a false narrative against Trump. They just use themselves and their actions as the template and then just change the names to Trump people.

Since the illegal activity is already occurring and some has come to light you then just spin it to once again blame it on Trump. Since the cabal are involved in the crime they know what phrases / descriptions to use in their accusations against Trump, giving it credibility.

A nice tied up no loose end coup....

But being so arrogant they forget a few small things and we are see4ing it blow up in their face.

still waiting on Kim Clement's "Snowden", he's basically 10 for 10 so far so I'm just assuming it's going to happen at some point

See this video from Jimmy dore, a real left leaning progressive (that hates trump btw)



The whole video is great, but for this part start around 22 minutes.

He shows how internal polling showed hillary people that her biggest weakness going in to the leection with trump was the Uranium one deal with russians.

And so the wikileaks dump showed John Podesta in an email from 12-21-2015 stating tyhe best response to hillarys weakness was to focus on trump bromance with Putin.

This was in 2015.

So this plan to redirect their russians connections off onto trump having russian connections has been the plan for a long time.

The book Shattered shows the following.


Within 24 hours of her concession speech, [campaign chair John Podesta and manager Robby Mook] assembled her communications team at the Brooklyn headquarters to engineer the case that the election wasn’t entirely on the up-and-up. For a couple of hours, with Shake Shack containers littering the room, they went over the script they would pitch to the press and the public. Already, Russian hacking was the centerpiece of the argument.”

The plan, according to the book, was to push journalists to cover how “Russian hacking was the major unreported story of the campaign,” and it succeeded to a fare-thee-well. After the election, coverage of the Russian “collusion” story was relentless, and it helped pressure investigations and hearings on Capitol Hill and even the naming of a special counsel, which in turn has triggered virtually nonstop coverage.

If they were indicted and pulled out preemptive pardons from Obama, wow.

They just might get lynched instead.

The thing in my head is, if they were just so blatant about it this time then this has been festering in the upper echelons of our intelligence communities and in DC for quite some time now.

This didn't just happen in the Obama years... it has to stretch back much further than that.

I think what we are seeing is just the tip of the iceberg, which is... disconcerting, to say the least.

While presidential pardons are suppose to be a matter of public record given the players involved I could see them trying to hide the pardons.


Or Trump could just reverse the pardon.

There is a sort of precedent for this...


President Grant rescinded two pardons that Andrew Johnson had given. Here is what happened… Andrew Johnson issued the two pardons, and “sent” them. The two pardons apparently were passed through the chain of command, but when they reached the desk of the warden of the actual prison where both men were being held, the warden apparently “allowed them to sit on his desk.” They sat.

Here is a description, much better than I could describe it:

“Ulysses S. Grant's first clemency decision, on his third day in office, was to revoke two pardons granted by Andrew Johnson. Both men challenged Grant's power to do so, and lost their case in federal court. A central passage in a judicial opinion read:

“ ‘If the president can arrest the mission of the messenger went the messenger has departed but ten feet from the door of the presidential mansion, he can arrest such mission at any time before the messenger delivers the pardon to the warden of the prison.’

“The fact that"the president" - in this case - meant two different presidents (Johnson and Grant), and the fact that - in this case - the warden had actually received the pardons but simply stuck them in his desk for a while, did not matter. The pardons had not actually been placed in the hands of Moses and Jacob DePuy, so the two men stayed in prison and were pardoned (by Grant) later.”


So I think it possible... be up to the SCOTUS to figure it out.

It would depend, in the end, on the public's viewpoint on it.

Political will, and all.

Wonder where that came from...


Saul Alinsky 101: Accuse your opponent of what only you are doing, as you are doing it, to create confusion, cloud the issue, and inoculate voters against any evidence of your guilt.

You hit the nail on the head... term limits and no pension whatsoever.

Make them a servant of the people again.
