3. Missed the name.

Alex Witt told Nunberg she felt very uncomfortable with him disclosing the name.

8. HE named Sam Clovis, the former RW radio host nominated/withdrawn for USDA "Science" advisor

even though he had ZERO science background.

Good riddance Sam, but it seems your 'friends' are selling you out.

IMPORANT TO KNOW, though that this moron may have no real idea who it is.

11. Not from RW claptrap

The informant met several times with Carter Page, the eccentric then-Trump adviser, who was under FBI surveillance over his suspicious ties to Russia.

“There has been some speculation that he might have tried to reel me in,” Page told the Washington Post in response to Friday’s story. “At the time, I never had any such impression.”

The informant also met Sam Clovis, then Trump’s co-campaign chairman, for coffee in Northern Virginia in late summer 2016. Clovis’s lawyer told the Post that their conversation focused on China, and that “Russia never came up.”

12. So is the name....

Stefan Halper? If so, note that NBC reported this already


https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna875516?__twitter_impression=true


"Both The New York Times and The Washington Post have reported that the FBI made use of one or more informants in its Russia investigation. The Times says one person working with the FBI met with two Trump aides who were suspected of dealing with Russians: Carter Page, who was under FBI surveillance, and George Papadopoulos, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and is cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

NBC News has not confirmed the use of informants in the Russian interference investigation, which began in July 2016. A right-wing web site, the Daily Caller, first reported that both Page and Papadopoulos met during the campaign with an American professor at Cambridge University in England. One of the men, Papadopoulos, has told associates he now views his encounter with the professor with suspicion, two sources familiar with his story told NBC News.

...

The professor who met with both Page and Papadopoulos is Stefan Halper, a former official in the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations who has been a paid consultant to an internal Pentagon think tank known as the Office of Net Assessment, consulting on Russia and China issues, according to public records.


No evidence has surfaced publicly indicating that Halper was acting as a government informant. He did not respond to an NBC News request for comment. But the Daily Caller noted that right-wing media personalities have speculated about his role in recent days."

13. It's disgusting that this reporter released this

My understanding of his possible involvement is that he contacted the FBI to alert them to possible compromise of Flynn with a Russian woman. He was alerting law enforcement to a possible crime and subsequently went on to provide further info. He was not recruited as a plant.

14. So....is 45 going to claim Halper is a raging liberal?

[Gothmog]

15. Nunberg did name the supposed informant

Nunberg is a repug and is a disgusting human being

[B2G]

16. It's been known to be Halper since

The WP and NYT published their stories.
