I agree with Sundance. It reads like disinfo. It's also quite boring. Schrage is tossing Halper under the bus by portraying him as unhinged and mercurial (while posting an audio clip in which he is measured and reasonable), maybe because Halper is retired and no longer useful. Schrage fingers Halper for the Flynn/Russia call leaked to WaPo: While Flynn’s lawyer Powell suggested Baker leaked to Ignatius, it might be safer for Halper, rather than highly monitored government officials like Baker or Clapper, to provide information to his long-time media contact Ignatius, former student Costa, or one of their Post colleagues. Halper’s confidential FBI source role could be used to hide him from Congressional or public scrutiny. Halper’s FBI handler Somma could be hidden by a DOJ policy shielding lower-level employees, while foreign members of the Cambridge Four can selectively dodge U.S. investigations. This exactly corresponds to what has happened so far. Tom
