In Christopher Andrews and Vasily Mitrokhin’s “The Mitrokhin Archive,” a history of Cold War espionage written on the basis of internal KGB documents copied by Vasily Mitrokhin during his tenure as chief archivist at the KGB (he was exfiltrated by the British in the 90s), the KGB notes that at his peak, McCarthy so discredited anti-Soviet vigilance in the US and anti-Communist sentiment in general that he could not have been more valuable to the Soviets had he been an actual KGB spy. Think about that—McCarthy did more to extend covert Soviet action on US territory than all the KGB’s spies put together. His intentions may have been patriotic, but the result of his actions was to compromise US security. Ordinarily, that’s called treason.

No, the result of the un-American Democrat Liberal Traitors compromised security.

Yes, it was treasonous on the part of the partisan government officials

They should have worked with him instead of vilifying him.

More of the same, only worse on the way.
