Remember Strobe Talbot?

Strobe Talbot was big in the Clinton world. He was known to be a 'Russia expert'. Seems that he may have pushed the reset idea many years ago. Where is he and what is he doing now? The Clintons have always been friendly with the Ruskies. I did a quick search and found that Talbot heads the Brookings Institute. He advises Soros! I bet he is connected to this business. I found this link too. http://sorosfiles.com/soros/2011/10/top-soros-adviser-and-confidant-strobe-talbott-identified-as-russian-dupe.html

In the early days, all the CIA employees had names like that.

“Comrade J is about a Russian master spy, Sergei Tretyakov, who defected to the United States because he was disgusted with the Russian/Soviet system and wanted to start a new and better life with his family in America. He identifies former Clinton State Department official Strobe Talbott, an adviser to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, as having been a trusted contact of the Russian intelligence service.

Back in 2000, when Talbott was named head of the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization, he was described as “a key architect of U.S. foreign policy” during the Clinton years. He now heads the Brookings Institution, a liberal Washington, D.C. think tank. But Tretyakov has some impressive credentials of his own. He wasn’t just a low-level official. He is described as the highest ranking Russian intelligence official ever to defect while stationed in the U.S. and handled all Russian intelligence operations against the U.S. He served under cover from 1995-2000 at Russia’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations but was secretly working for the FBI for at least three years.

Talbott denies the charges, calling them “erroneous and/or misleading,” and his denials are featured on page 184 of the book. He says that he always promoted U.S. foreign policy goals and that the close relationship that he had with a top Russian official by the name of Georgi Mamedov did not involve any manipulation or deception.

This is not the first time that Talbott has come under scrutiny for his alleged contacts with agents of a foreign intelligence service. In 1994, when he was being considered for his State Department post in the Clinton Administration, he was grilled by Senator Jesse Helms, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, about his relationship with Victor Louis, a Soviet “journalist” who was actually a Soviet KGB intelligence agent. Talbott had been a young correspondent for Time magazine in Moscow.

A lengthy plug for marijuana titled, “A memo to Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump on marijuana policy,” comes from the Brookings Institution, currently headed by longtime Soros collaborator and close Bill and Hillary Clinton friend Strobe Talbott.

Repeatedly using code words like marijuana “reform” and marijuana “rescheduling,” Brookings lays out steps for the next president to follow: “Dear future nominees: Eight months from today one of you will be inaugurated the 45th President of the United States…Marijuana policy will be a serious part of the next administration’s domestic policy…get it right…when vetting possible appointees, ask them about cannabis…select the right individuals for such posts… it is important to remember that science is the key to understanding marijuana…Science is an integral part of the cannabis conversation.”

Strobe Talbott became a friend of Bill Clinton when they were Rhodes Scholars at the same time (they are the same age). When at Oxford Talbott translated Khrushchev’s memoirs into English, so he knew Russian by then. Was he recruited by the Soviets already back then?

He was friends with Hillary at Yale. It is amazing that a mere journalist could pretend to have such expertise in foreign affairs. But lawyers and journalists are thick as fleas in government aren’t they?

Nelson Strobridge Talbott III is his real name.

I guess he decided that Strobe was an upgrade, or he was tagged with it at prep school, and it stuck. Similar probably happened to "I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby" (I. is unknown) and Samuel "Sandy" Berger.

Talbot wrote a very candid memoir called The Russian Hand about his days working in the State Dept. for Clinton.

Time frame covers the Yeltsin years in detail but Putin makes an appearance toward the end.
