You never seem to allow facts to get in the way of a good argument.

So now you're down to borrowing the lying Clapper's words to describe Halper's role? That's hilarious!

Try this:

Stefan Halper has been identified by multiple media outlets as the source tasked by the FBI with collecting information about the Russian connections of Trump campaign officials Carter Page and George Papadopoulos.

So, under the direction of the FBI, Halper was asked to make contact with folks inside the Trump campaign. He has been paid in the past by the FBI for "research" and may have been paid for his latest services.

I really don't give a crap what spin you and Clapper wish to use to give a name to the services Halper provided. The fact of the matter is that the FBI sent someone in to Trump's campaign to make contact with two or more individuals. And, there's work circulating that there may have been a person or persons besides Halper. The FBI is now stuck re-characterizing when their "investigation" started as a result of this revelation. Its at the very least damned odd, and at the most agents of the gov't interfering in the 2016 election.
