Baiting the trap
Halper met with George Papadopoulos on 9-13-16 and senior Trump Campaign official on 9-11-16. Halper invited Carter Page to 7-16-16 Cambridge symposium. Halper reportedly brought up subject of Russian hacking of Clinton emails.
In November 2016, Halper stated that Clinton would be best for U.S.-UK relations.
Two months before the 2016 election, George Papadopoulos received a strange request for a meeting in London, one of several the young Trump adviser would be offered — and he would accept — during the presidential campaign.
The meeting request, which has not been reported until now, came from Stefan Halper, a foreign policy expert and Cambridge professor with connections to the CIA and its British counterpart, MI6.[1]
Background
In 1967, Halper graduated from Stanford University with a B.A. with high honours. Halper then studied at the University of Oxford, graduating with a doctorate in philosophy in 1971. Presumably shortly after graduation, Halper then began working as a member of the White House Domestic Council as a member of the Nixon Administration, holding the position from 1971 to 1973. After this, Halper's position evolved, and he joined the Office of Management and Budget as Assistant Director of the Management and Evaluation Division, holding the position from 1973 to 1974.
On August 9, 1974, Gerald Ford was inaugurated as the President of the United States, due to the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon. Halper was then moved from the Office of Management and Budget to join the office of the Chief of Staff, working as the Assistant to the Chief of Staff. This was a position he held from 1974 to January 20, 1977. As such, Halper worked as an assistant to three Chiefs of Staff - Alexander Haig (until September 21, 1974), then Donald Rumsfeld (from September 21, 1974 to November 20, 1975), and then Dick Cheney (from November 20, 1975 to January 20, 1977).
After Jimmy Carter was elected Halper worked as a legislative assistant to Senator William Roth of Delaware holding this position from 1977 to 1979 and became a Special Counsel to the United States Congress' Joint Economic Committee.
In 1979, Halper left both positions to become the National Director for Policy Development for George H. W. Bush's Presidential campaign. At the 1980 Republican convention, Richard V. Allen, then Ronald Reagan's foreign policy adviser for his Presidential campaign, searched for a potential Vice President for Reagan, and spoke with Halper about considering H. W. Bush for the role.
Halper then became the National Director of Policy Coordination on the Reagan / Bush Presidential campaign.
