The Soviets had an agent placed closed to Kennedy during the Carter administration, whom I argued was most likely John Tunney. Of course we could trace Soviet infiltration of the U.S. political system all the way back to the Wilson administration. But to pick up the trail more recently, we have Bill Clinton's 1969-1970 trip to Moscow, where he followed in the footsteps of his Oxford roommate Strobe Talbott, who had been translating memoirs of former Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev leaked to him by KGB disinformation agent and talent spotter Victor Louis--in other words, Clinton's college roommate was in contact with the KGB at the time Bill was rooming with him. In Moscow, Clinton had dinner with his friend Anik “Nikki” Alexis at the Patrice Lumumba Peoples' Friendship University, a KGB training ground famed for turning out alumni such as the terrorist Carlos the Jackal. After returning to the U.S., Clinton met Hillary Rodham, whose work on Yale Law Review at that time brought her into contact with Robert Borosage of the Soviet-connected Institute for Policy Studies, who was busy publishing attacks on the U.S. intelligence community in collaboration with people such as Victor Marchetti and Philip Agee. Bill join Hillary in San Francisco in summer 1971 when she was interning for former California CP attorneys Robert Treuhaft and Jessica Mitford, with whom they renewed contact in Arkansas in the late 70s and later in their White House years. The Clintons staffed many of their old New Left friends in their administration when they arrived in Washington. . .And then we have Obama's various Soviet connections, centered around his parents, Frank Marshall Davis, and Valerie Jarrett.

I agree with most of what you wrote but have a few caveats.

Tunney was the stupidest senator in Congress ever, but is being chased by Sen. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, both of Virginia. He was Kennedy’s delivery boy to the Kremlin. Whether he was actually a Soviet asset is another question. They didn’t need him to work for them. His stupidity did it for them for free.

I thought that one of Bill Clinton’s roommates was the son of a Czech STB agent, though Talbott has been the target of a lot of speculation as to whether, he too, was a Soviet sympathizer or asset.

Good information of Borosage, not only for his leadership of the IPS (funded, in significant part, by Samuel Rubin/Foundation/Cora and Peter Weiss. Rubin was a Communist Party “voter” in 1936 and possibly the 1938/40 elections. Definitely a Soviet asset during the Spanish Civil War.

Borosage also became a key leader in Soros’ Open Society Institute along with fellow anti-intelligence leftist Morton Halperin.

The fact that Hillary had contacts with him at Yale is very important. Also we need to know if her law professors included identified CPUSA member Thomas I. Emerson.

Re Hillary’s internship with the Communist law firm in California. It consisted of Robert Treuhaft (his wife, CP member Jessica Mitford, the writer, was not, to my knowledge, an attorney); Charles R. Gary, the CP’s West Coast counterpart of William Kunstler (Kunstler told us that in 1969 re the Oakland 7 case); Mal Burstein, another CPer; I think it was Ginger Ann Fagan, another CP lawyer, and one other male.

They were the Left’s counterpart firm on the West Coast to the heavily CP/supporters firm of “Kunster; Kunstler (Mike who died young); Arthur Kinoy, a leading CP-affiliated attorney who later tried to form his own Marxist group out of NCIPA; Phi Hirschkopf (for a while; a man who became increasingly hostile to a lot of people); Morton Stavis, id. CPUSA; and Peter Weiss, husband of Cora Weiss, Women Strike for Peace/New Mobe/COLIFAM of the Hanoi Lobby leaders - she would be a natural candidate for a Soviet agent of influence given her CPUSA fronts, Hanoi, UN, Riverside Church Disarmament connections and positions.

Obama’s connections to Frank Marshall Davis, who operated at the request of two Soviet assets, id. CPer Paul Robeson and Australian Communist, id. CPUSA member Harry Bridges, covered the Obama family history and connections to Chicago, Kansas, Washington State and Hawaii.

The Jarretts had the Chicago CP connections as well as Chicago political connections in the black community (Boardmans?, Palmers, Despres, the DuSable Museum, etc) as well as the old established Soviet/CPUSA ring around David Simon Canter (his late father Henry, a Stalin employee in Russia), Canter’s import business partner id. CPUSAer Leroy Wolins (handled veterans fronts for the CP and was credited with the idea for the creation of Vietnam Veterans Against the War in Vietnam), was the National Mobe/New Mobe veterans leader; the suggester of the stamp honoring Paul Robeson, and Don Rose, an admitted old time leftist of the Henry Wallace campaign and the American Labor Party, as well as the CP’s Chicago Committee to Defend the Bill of Rights.

The web of subversion runs deep within the Bill and Hillary Clinton early connections, the Obamas connections through families, friends, neighbors and organizational ties, and the established communist structures in Chicago, and later “New Left” connections for Obama at several colleges and then with Marxist Saul Alinsky’s organization as a community organizer.

There is so much more to be learned about the communist connections of all of them, esp. during the “missing years” re their autobiographies and publicity sheets.
