Hmm...I wonder what the difference is between an 'undercover' informant for the FBI and a spy in police work...a.k.a. a stool pigeon; a.k.a. an informant?

Urban Dictionary.....

stool pigeon:
A person who can be otherwise known as a Rat, Nark, or Tattle Tail. He/She suffer's the unfortunate proclivity towards debasing him/herself by engaging in sociatal suicide.

Whereas the FBI informant recently outed was a a Cambridge professor with deep ties to American and British intelligence.

Not exactly a rat, or Nark, or Tattle Tail. Stool pigeon has different connotations. More importantly the previously "secret" informant originally met with Trump campaign advisers Carter Page and George Pompadours starting in the summer of 2016. Before the election.Stemming from ongoing FBI investigations

The American-born academic previously served in the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations that had already linked Page and Pompadours to Russian sources.

Can you spell counterintelligence?

No, actually it is shaping up to be a referendum on Donald Trump.
Not looking too good for him either.

"For a traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accent familiar to his victims,
and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. His name is Stefan Halper. - Marcus Tullius Cicero

Too bad Cicero is not around so we can qustion him on number 2.

Actually nows that I think of it, No.2 is aptly named in this case

Counterintelligence is exactly what is needed in dealing with possible spies and traitors. Trump and the repugs still deny Russian interference in the election in favor of TRUMP EVEN, AFTER BEING WARNED.

How come? Maybe in addition to teflon Don signing the letter of intent to build Trump tower Moscow, the congressional repugs signed just below the Don?

Guess what? Not all Trump toadies are as confident as loony-tune Pa off topic posters are.

Longtime Trump confidant Roger Stone pledged to have someone lined up to challenge Vice President Mike Pence should he run for president in 2020.

During an interview Friday with Big League Politics, a right-wing news website, Stone suggested that President Trump may not ultimately run for re-election if his first term is adequately successful and denounced the possibility of a 2020 ticket with Pence and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.
.................................................. .......

This may change abruptly when Stone gets indicted.

While President Donald Trump and his allies in right-wing media insist that his campaign was unfairly targeted by the FBI in 2016 as a result of the investigation into potential collusion with Russian interference in the presidential election, a new report from the New York Times reveals that the agency actually took exceptional efforts to ensure the probe was out of public view.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/18/u...stigation.html

The framing of the new report focuses on the fact that the agency used an informant, not a "spy" as Trump had claimed, to gather information from the campaign before the election. But perhaps the most interesting section is what follows:

But agents were leery of disrupting the presidential campaign again after the F.B.I. had announced in a high-profile news conference that it had closed the case involving Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, according to current and former law enforcement officials.

Who cares?
He is STILL not Hillary.

Right... cause all those Leaks happen in the dark of night in the back of a parking garage out of public view...

If they placed the informant to gather Intel or steer conversation... that is by definition a SPY...

Geez your thick or easy can really put my finger on which but it's one or the other.
