Selected direct relations edges listed below, retrieved 2026-08-25. No invented Halper–Downer line. Cross-links to Priestap and Downer are for the same Russia-probe cluster. Emphasis is the compiler’s.

Fact

Stefan Halper is a relations subject. The stored edges used here are the Crossfire-era contacts, the Priestap FBI-operation line, White House service under Nixon, Ford, and Reagan, the Bush 41 campaign job, Richard Dearlove, and father-in-law Ray S. Cline. There is no stored direct Halper–Downer edge on Halper’s node.

The chart below is only the stored edges. A line is not a crime. A board seat is not an invented affiliation. Opinion is in the marked band at the bottom.

Cluster cross-link, not an invented edge

Alexander Downer is in the same Russia-probe cluster on Priestap’s graph. Halper’s own node does not store a direct Downer edge. This page does not draw one. Priestap’s intergraph row “No direct relationship specified” between Halper and Downer is noted, not upgraded.

What this is not

It is not a finding that Stefan Halper committed a crime. A stored FBI-investigation contact is not a conviction. White House service under Nixon, Ford, and Reagan is public-job history.

Stored edges not drawn: Oliver North; Peter Navarro; Sam Clovis; Steven Schrage; Mark Warner; Rush Limbaugh. Those omissions are scope.

It is not a White House product. It is not a Method page.
