Mr.Halper spied on President Carter & President Trumps campaign - Just sayin !

[4248]

The identification of #Halper—who was implicated as the leading figure in a conspiracy by intelligence agents to subvert then-President Jimmy Carter’s re-election campaign in 1980—as the covert #FBI spy has been the subject of a heated debate in #Washington and the media.
-- Both the #NewYorkTimes and the #WashingtonPost, the two papers of record for the US political establishment, have studiously observed the demands of the FBI to conceal Halper’s identity.
- - The Post reported that it was concealing the identity of the #spy from the American people because of “warnings from US intelligence officials that exposing him could endanger him or his contacts.” For its part, the Times merely indicated that it was following standard operating procedure, stating that it “has learned the source’s identity but typically does not name informants to preserve their safety.”
- - Nothing could more nakedly expose the US media as a propaganda extension of the American intelligence agencies.
