“I suspect most Americans doing business with or within Russia have at one time been approached by the Russian intelligence services to see if they have any appetite for helping Mother Russia.”
I suspect most American CIA, FBI, Congresspersons, Senators, government staffers and officials, clerks, ex-Presidents, military officers, diplomats, scientists, academics, and cleaners having any contact with or within Russia, and many who don’t, have been approached in some way by the Russian intelligence services or entities that can be claimed to be under their sway. Probable cause for investigation: existence. Stalin would be proud.
Over the weekend I must have heard 20 times that “The FBI has been investigating Page since 2013”.
OK five years and they still don’t have ANYTHING?
Seems to be a message that they will still be investigating Trump in 2021.
Working with defense company we were routinely asked to report any contact with foreign persons if they showed an unusual interest in what we did.
This was emphasized when we announced foreign travel.
