Who was the "Dem Plant"
By Petr Svab
Multiple media reported the FBI had an informant spying on the presidential campaign of then-candidate Donald Trump. The Justice Department refused to reveal the source’s identity to congressional oversight leaders, saying divulging it could put people’s lives at risk. But multiple legacy media outlets claim to have learned his identity and have described the person and his activities in such detail as to make his identification all but certain.
Details about the spy became the target of two articles, one by The New York Times, one by The Washington Post, both published on Friday, May 18.
The Washington Post described the spy as a retired American professor and a “longtime U.S. intelligence source,†according to “people familiar with his activities.â€
The spy “engaged in a months-long pattern of seeking out and meeting three different Trump campaign officials,†and, in September 2016, “reached out to George Papadopoulos, an unpaid foreign-policy adviser for the [Trump] campaign, inviting him to London to work on a research paper.â€
The New York Times went even further, describing the spy as “well known in Washington circles, having served in previous Republican administrations.â€
The article further details that the spy “inquired about [Papadopoulos’s] interest in writing a research paper on a disputed gas field in the eastern Mediterranean Sea†and “offered a $3,000 honorarium for the paper and a paid trip to London.â€
While neither article named the spy, citing concerns for his safety, their descriptions are so specific they overwhelmingly imply a single conclusion, when put in context to other reporting on the subject.
A March 25 Daily Caller article details how Papadopoulos was contacted by and met with an American professor “with connections to the CIA and its British counterpart, MI6.â€
