The conversation at a London bar in September 2016 took a strange turn when the woman sitting across from George Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign adviser, asked a direct question: Was the Trump campaign working with Russia?
The woman had set up the meeting to discuss foreign policy issues. But she was actually a government investigator posing as a research assistant, according to people familiar with the operation. The F.B.I. sent her to London as part of the counterintelligence inquiry opened that summer to better understand the Trump campaign’s links to Russia.
The American government’s affiliation with the woman, who said her name was Azra Turk, is one previously unreported detail of an operation that has become a political flash point in the face of accusations by President Trump and his allies that American law enforcement and intelligence officials spied on his campaign to undermine his electoral chances. Last year, he called it “Spygate.”
British intelligence officials were also notified about the operation, the people familiar with the operation said, but it was unclear whether they provided assistance. A spokeswoman for the British government declined to comment.
So this is the new threshold for spying on a rival campaign?
Carter Page drunkenly told a hillary ally some Russian told him they may have dirt on Hillary.

Wasn't that Papadopolous?
Also wasn't that the "beginning" evidence to start the entire bs investigation?
And the "hillary ally" was the down under ambassador to the queen?
5 eyes?

It's amazing for the New York Times to publish an article like this, unless they're trying to now get on President Trump's good side.

remember, they all said Trump was a liar when he said his campaign was spied on.
Justice will be served cold for them

No, they are just getting ahead of what they know is coming out so they can spin it to "the FBI was worried about Trump so was on top of the situation. The spying was warranted!"
CIA doing CYA through the media.
