"Shortly after taking office in 1985, Kerry and Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa went on a
fact-finding trip to Nicaragua, where they met with Daniel Ortega (right) and other Sandinistas.
The trip was criticized when the Sandinistas cemented ties with Moscow."

This had happened 11 years before the 1991 end of the Cold War...”

"During the Cold War the CPUSA [Communist Party, USA] had a parallel underground structure, and a small number of people spied for Moscow.
Until the 1980s the party was receiving substantial amounts of Soviet funding, says Klehr, money that the FBI knew about and tracked."
