IG report backs whistleblower fired after flagging Stefan Halper contracts
[World Tribune] A report by the Department of Defense’s inspector general reveals that Stefan Halper, the professor hired by the FBI to spy on the Trump campaign, failed to document his research on four Pentagon studies for which he traveled the world at U.S. taxpayer expense and was paid a total of $1 million.

The DoD inspector general launched the Halper investigation based on a request in January from Senate Finance Committee Chariman Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican. "He, in turn, was acting on allegations of sweetheart contacts at the Office of Net Assessment (ONA), a secretive Pentagon think tank whose mission is to find and expose future global threats," security correspondent Rowan Scarborough noted in an Aug. 18 report for The Washington Times.

The IG’s report is a vindication of Pentagon analyst Adam Lovinger, who blew the whistle on the lucrative contracts Halper received from the ONA, Lovinger’s attorney said.

After questioning the Halper contracts, Lovinger had his security clearance revoked and was suspended without pay by Obama-appointed officials who accused him of mishandling sensitive data.

#1 Now look what you've done Mr. Lovinger, you've blown our Office of Net Assessment (ONA) cover. How can we possibly make bogus payments to our sources now ?

My dear Mr. Lovinger, do you have any idea how many bogus contract payment schemes and funding sources your actions could imperil if someone decides to conduct a full blown investigation of ONA ?

#3 Can we learn who in particular was involved in the firing of Mr. Lovinger?
Should there not be repercussions for that behavior?
