<\/a><\/p>\nSo against a backdrop of looming revelations about the intelligence community and their activity in the 2016 election; and suddenly The Washington Post, seemingly out of nowhere, pushes an article intended to diffuse the issues around western intelligence asset Joseph Mifsud; we can reasonably assume something is happening in the background that has officials in the CIA worried about exposure and their image.<\/p>\n
From the\u00a0WaPo introduction<\/a>\u00a0we can see what part of \u201cspygate\u201d the CIA is concerned about:<\/p>\n (Wa Po<\/a>) [\u2026] The Maltese-born academichas not surfacedpublicly since that October 2017 interview, days after Trump campaign aide GeorgePapadopoulos pleaded guilty tolying to the FBI about details of theirinteractions. Among them, Papadopoulos told investigators, was an April 2016 meeting in which Mifsud alerted him that the Russians had \u201cdirt\u201d on Hillary Clinton in the form of \u201cthousands of emails.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The conversation between Mifsud and Papadopoulos, eventually relayed by an Australian diplomat to U.S. government officials, was cited by special counsel Robert S. Mueller IIIas the event that set in motion the FBI probe into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.<\/p>\n With Attorney General William P. Barr\u2019s review of the counterintelligence investigation underway,the origins of the inquiry itself are now in the spotlight \u2014 and with them, the role of Mifsud, a little-known figure. (more<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The entire WaPo article is fraught with highly manipulated narrative engineering intended to cloud the fact that clear evidence exists that Professor Mifsud\u2019s engagement with George Papadopoulos was directed by some entity other than Mifsud.\u00a0 And it would be intellectually dishonest not to see some other purpose and intent beyond an academic wanting to build a relationship with some obscure policy staffer for the Trump campaign.<\/p>\n If he walks like a counterintelligence agent; acts like a counterintelligence agent; sounds like a counterintelligence agent; hangs out with other counterintelligence agents; has admitted to engagements on behalf of intelligence agencies; trained U.S. FBI agents in conducting counterintelligence operations and generally has a history of counterintelligence agent behavior, well, he ain\u2019t just a Maltese professor.\u00a0 Just sayin\u2019.<\/p>\n So what\u2019s up?\u00a0 Why is the Washington Post all out-front of Joseph Mifsud all of a sudden?<\/p>\n Likely it\u2019s because someone in the background (Barr via Durham) is peeking at the connective tissue between John Brennan\u2019s instructions in 2015 and 2016; and John Brennan\u2019s \u201celectronic communication\u2019 results to the FBI in July 2016 that kicked off the counterintelligence operation against candidate Trump known as Crossfire Hurricane.<\/p>\n Additionally, there is clearly some recording of Papadopoulos and\/or transcript of Papadopoulos engaging with CIA and FBI assets (spies) that Trey Gowdy has claimed to be \u201cvery exculpatory\u201d toward any claim that Papadopoulos was doing anything wrong.\u00a0 Those transcripts are possibly part of the AG Barr\u2019s declassification directive.<\/p>\n Remember, back in May Devin Nunes told AG Barr something was going on:<\/p>\n (Via Fox News<\/a>) \u201cHe is the first person that we know of on earth that supposedly knows something about the Russians having Hillary\u2019s emails,\u201d Nunes, R-Calif., said on \u201cFox News @ Night.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe has since denied that but (Special Counsel Robert) Mueller in his report claimed that Mifsud \u2013 or insinuated that Mifsud \u2013 was some sort of Russian asset. We know that this is not the case. In fact, we know that he was in the U.S. Capitol\u2026 just steps away from an intelligence committee.\u201d<\/p>\n [\u2026]\u00a0 Nunes, a ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, told Fox News that the has sent letters this month to the CIA, FBI, NSA and the State Department asking for documents tied to Mifsud. He said all of the agencies except one \u2013 the FBI \u2013 have cooperated with his request.<\/p>\n He then made the leap, \u201cThe FBI is not cooperating, per usual, which means they\u2019ve got something to hide.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt is impossible that Mifsud is a Russian asset,\u201d Nunes added. \u201cHe is a former diplomat with the Malta government. He lived in Italy. He worked and taught FBI, trained FBI officials, and worked with FBI officials.\u201d\u00a0 (read more \u2013 w\/ video<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
