Pentagon Analyst Stripped of His Security Clearance by Obama Holdovers

A Pentagon analyst was stripped of his security clearance by Obama holdovers after he complained of suspicious government contracts with Stefan Halper, the FBI informant who spied on the Trump presidential campaign in 2016, the Washington Times reported.

Adam Lovinger, a senior official of the Defense Department's Office of Net Assessment, had his security clearance yanked on May 1, 2017, and has been relegated to performing clerical chores ever since.

Lovinger believes that ONA retaliated against him because he had complained to his bosses about the questionable contracts in the fall of 2016.After his security clearance was revoked, Lovinger filed a whistleblower reprisal complaint with the Defense Department inspector general against James H. Baker, director of ONA. The complaint also names Washington Headquarters Services, a Pentagon support agency that handled the Halper contracts, which totaled hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Halper was a paid FBI "Confidential human source," whose mission in 2016 was to make contacts with Trump campaign workers while the FBI was investigating any Trump ties to Moscow.

"Nobody in the office seemed to know what Halper was doing for his money," Bigley said.

The FBI may have been spying on the Trump campaign as far back as December of 2015, recently uncovered text messages revealed.

The texts between disgraced fired FBI agent Peter Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page referred to "Oconus lures," which is FBI lingo for spies outside the continental United States.
