No, Ax, Venona did not vindicate McCarthy.

See these two articles by Dr. John Earl Haynes:

Senator Joseph McCarthy’s Lists and Venona

(b) Exchange with Arthur Herman re: Venona

In addition, the FBI’s Security Index file falsifies your premise about the State Department — as does the file which the FBI opened which dealt with McCarthy’s accusations, i.e. HQ 121-23278.

So, you’re saying that there were no Soviet spies in the State Department and other government agencies uncovered by VENONA? BTW, my late wife was a McCarthy (no relation).
