Did This NYT Piece Give the CIA Cover for Their Reported Refusal to Cooperate with the DOJ's Russia Probe?
BLUF:
Paul and Mary are reasonably certain all the ingredients are there.
[Townhall] Of course, the parties at the center of this story declined to comment, but the root of all this‐with regards to putting the IC under the microscope‐could be traced to the Times’ own reporting on the Crossfire Hurricane, the non-spying, spying operation that the FBI ran against the Trump campaign. Yes, the FBI had sources attempt to glean information from Trump officials without them knowing who they worked for and then relayed any said information to another party, but that’s not spying or something. One of the people at the center of this operation was George Papadopoulos, the Trump campaign official who was accosted by "Azra Turk," a woman who sent to run this intelligence exercise. Stefan Halper, another known CIA asset, was also another person tasked with gleaning information from Trump folks. Papadopoulos had zero problems with the Times’ report on this 2016 rendezvous, though he fled Turk was CIA, not FBI.

#1 A coup attempt. Hidden in plain sight.

We're lucky these people are so incompetent.

#2 So incompetent that not a single one has seen jail time, or even had their pensions cut off.

Meanwhile, Stone still faces prison time and Flynn has yet to be pardoned.

Oh, but I forgot---trust the plan! LOL

#3 /\ I'll bet if you pulled any of them up on JPAS, their security clearances are all still active.
