Everyone wants to know who the MOLE is, who has been spying on the Trump campaign and feeding information to the FBI.
Well, according to “internet sleuths” they’ve figured it out and know who the mole is.
It’s this guy:
His name is Stefan Halper.
According to Wikipedia, Stefan Halper is a foreign policy scholar.
He served as a White House official in the Nixon, Ford, and Reagan administrations and is currently the Director of American Studies at the Department of Politics, University of Cambridge.
George Papadopoulos appears to have been targeted by three individuals with ties to British and/or U.S. Intelligence.
Joseph Mifsud
Alexander Downer
Stefan Halper
George Papadopoulos and Joseph Mifsud reportedly both worked at the London Centre of International Law Practice.
Joseph Mifsud appears to have joined LCILP around November 2015. Papadopoulos appears to have joined LCILP sometime in late February or early March 2016 after leaving Ben Carson’s campaign.
Per reports, Papadopoulos and Mifsud first met on March 14, 2016.
The London Centre of International Law and Practice Limited (LCILP) is an odd institution. From their website:
LCILP training emphasises the practical application of international law as a field inseparable from its geopolitical and global economic context.
On March 22, 2016, the Washington Post noted the following:
Papadopoulos, a 2009 graduate of DePaul University, directs an international energy center at the London Center of International Law Practice.
The Post did not seem to be aware that Papadopoulos had only held that position for a matter of weeks.
How Papadopoulos got the position remains unknown. An article by Medium notes the following:
The Centre for International Energy and Natural Resources Law & Security existed, at least in name, before Papadopoulos’s arrival and it’s unclear why he was chosen to head it. A list on the website of a dozen people associated with it suggests others were better qualified.
Was Papadopoulos attempting to bulk up his resume. Who offered the young analyst the prestigious sounding position.
Indications seem to be that the position was primarily in name only.
In a November 4, 2017 article, the Post noted the following regarding LCILP:
When a Post reporter buzzed the door on several occasions during business hours last week, no one answered.
Until recently, the staff Web page had 33 people listed on it, including Joseph Mifsud. But the page was deleted on Oct. 23, a week before the Papadopoulos plea agreement was unsealed.
Several of those listed as being part of the “team” were only loosely affiliated — if at all.
The link to LCILP’s staffing is no longer functional.
Quartz Media had slightly more success:
When a Quartz reporter visited LCILP’s headquarters inside a handsome Georgian building, he found that the office amounted to four people working in an undecorated backroom, all of whom declined to comment.
Mifsud vanished in early November 2017, shortly after the Papadopoulos story broke. To my knowledge, his whereabouts remain unknown.
I’ve found four different meetings between Papadopoulos and Mifsud:
March 14, 2016 – First known meeting. Papadopoulos met Mifsud in Italy approximately one week after officially joining the Trump team.
March 24, 2016 – Papadopoulos, Mifsud, Olga Polonskaya and unknown fourth party met in a London cafe.
April 18, 2016 – Mifsud introduced Papadopoulos to Ivan Timofeev, an official at a state-sponsored think tank called Russian International Affairs Council.
April 26, 2016 – Mifsud claims to have met with high-level Russian government officials who have “dirt” on Clinton. Papadopoulos told the FBI that Mifsud said “the Russians had emails of Clinton” and “they have thousands of emails.”
Although the common story is that Mifsud is a Russian Agent, many ties seem to lead back to UK Intelligence.
Julian Assange put out a Twitter Thread noting the connection between Mifsud and UK Intelligence.
Disobedient Media has done a series of articles on Mifsud’s strange background – or lack thereof:
All Russiagate Roads Lead To London As Evidence Emerges Of Joseph Mifsud’s Links To UK Intelligence.
A Conversation With Chris Blackburn On The Contradictions Surrounding Mifsud.
Chris Blackburn Discusses Legacy Press Coverage Of Joseph Mifsud.
Chris Blackburn had this to say:
If Mifsud is a genuine Russian asset, he has been enabled by the United States’ most trusted allies. His relationship with senior intelligence and political leaders in Europe should constitute one of the greatest security breaches in decades.
I don’t have enough information to make a determination on Mifsud at this point, but I suspect ties with British Intelligence will prove accurate.
