Stefan Halper and Alexander Downer, remember those two names. That was the X post by today’s guest when facts were recently declassified about the intel operation he was targeted by. For those of us who’ve followed the story of what is now known as Obamagate, the intelligence operation against Donald Trump trying to paint him and key aides as Russian assets, we’ve seen these names many times as additional information has been revealed about the operation through the years. They are tied to allied intelligence agencies America routinely shares classified intel with through what is known as the Five Eyes program. The complex web of lies and deceit spun by these and US intel operatives used information fabricated across every agency and the storyline was maintained by the CIA and FBI until recently when President Trump and his team began de-classifying the reports and information used in operations like Crossfire Hurricane. My guest today to discuss the latest is the man that made that X-post and found himself a target of Five Eyes in their operation, former Trump Advisor George Papadopoulos, the best-selling author of, “DEEP STATE TARGET: How I got caught in the crosshairs of the plot to bring down President Trump.”
