A job I was in once. We were instructed about honey traps. I told him I thought it was way overblown. See, I had had foreign women in bed before and I listed carefully after I got em off and they never told me a single classified thing...not even once.
The look on his face as he explained that I was not the honey luring in the person with the info.
Hahaha
Swear it’s a true story.
Meh…guilty.
Honey traps can be used for many other purposes than just obtaining pillow talk.
The spy can place electronic listening devices once they have access to different locations.
The spy can use the person as an introduction to other folks with access to intelligence.
The spy can rifle through documents if they have any private time at the location....
Or they can gain personal information other spies can use to track, trick, trap etc etc etc....
Intelligence can work one step at a time and the individual mark may never know their role in the plan.
Yeah... I know. I was being a smartass during a class. It’s a gift...
Blackmail for one. Once you’re a compromised it’s easier to play ball even if the stick is relatively lame, career embarrassment, angry spouse, etc.
I could see myself pouring a bit of honey on her...

Doesn’t look like an Olga.🤔
“Do you think Trump’s home was bugged during the FBI raid?”
The Deep State has tech that can gather signals intelligence from outside the premises, but it would be very tempting for them to go for inside the premises as well.
Their motto will be “the more the better”, especially since they are confident that they will not be punished no matter what they do.
“Do you think Trump’s home was bugged during the FBI raid”
I believe Trumps security folks were recording the FBI and refused to turn cameras off.
