Basically the information (reportedly) never got to FDR. Remember, his two top aides were communists/sympathizers, Laughlin Currie (definitely Soviet operative) and Harry Hopkins (knowledgeable scholars are somewhat split as to whether Hopkins was a NKVD or GRU operative or just very pro-Soviet Union. More and more it looks like he was a Soviet asset/operative).

Hopkins’ assistant David Niles was reviewed in the Venona intercepts to have been “a contact of the KGB”. (see “Stalin’s Secret Agents: The Subversion of Roosevelt’s Government”, M. Stanton Evans and Herbert Romerstein, Threshold Editions, A Division of Simon & Schuster, 2012.

I trust both writers since I knew them for many decades and had long discussions about these issues.

Thank you.

I knew Harry Hopkins was questionable but not that he’s moving into operative status. It wouldn’t surprise me a bit.

Eleanor was a big time Progressive and she maintained her influence over him..

You know all that.

I like to remind some people how the America First crowd and others, especially the Communists, had no qualms against Hitler as long as he was allied with Stalin.

A question, please- What is your short view on George Marshall?
