Meet Derek Harvey. (Nunes staffer working with Lev Parnas)

Leghorn21 posted this link in a thread... I thought an OP was warranted.

Derek Harvey isn't some kind of innocent just out of school.

Derek J. Harvey is a retired US Army Colonel who currently serves on the staff of Congressman Devin Nunes, ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.[1][2][3] Harvey is a former National Security Council (NSC) staffer in President Donald Trump's administration and was the first Director of the Afghanistan-Pakistan Center of Excellence at U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), having been selected by General David Petraeus in 2009 to lead the new organization.[4] Harvey was the previous senior analytical specialist for Iraq to Petraeus, then Commander, Multi-National Forces-Iraq.[5]

It just might be particularly bad in Florida because of its libertarian leanings.

5. More about Mr. Harvey's "activities" on behalf of Nunes with Parnas here:

Nunes claims he got a phone call from Parnas (only after Parnas ratted him out to Rachel). Turns out Nunes knew a lot more about Parnas and had a lot more involvement with him and this bribery scheme than he admits, of course. The fucking sonofabitch should have been REMOVED from the impeachment hearings in the House due to his direct involvement.

Just the last couple of days we’ve had to learn who Harvey, Robert Hyde and Anthony de Caluwe are!!? HALP

Edit: just ran into this:

Never ever forget WHO brought Derek Harvey to the NSC...wait...for...it Mike Flynn
Again why was Parnas sending @DevinNunes Aide passports & a resume?

👇🏻McMaster fired Harvey in July 2017👇🏻

ANTHONY De CALUWE RESPONDS: The Dutch citizen who
texted with ROBERT F. HYDE about MARIE YOVANOVITCH's
movements says through a spokeswoman that he "was not
involved in any surveillance," & that suggestions in his texts
to @RFHyde1 to the contrary "was just … ridiculous banter."

Can we just jump ahead about 20 years and read the history books instead?

these people are. I'll bet dollars to donuts that all of these Florida people were regulars at Mar-a-Lago and that Trump interacted with them regularly.
