Records Show FBI ‘Informant’ Stefan Halper Was Paid $282,000 in 2016 For Spying on Trump — And Another $129,280 in 2017…and here we go! Many of us have been saying for a while that this is a new Watergate only widdershins. The DNC, after screwing up with Hillary and other criminals who run the DNC like Nancy Pelosi, tried to create an illegal coup to remove Trump based on fake information about him being a Russian agent. Shades of McCarthy! I have said repeatedly that this aping of past political schemes would backfire and it is backfiring right now.
