Intelligence analysts warn that Russian worker believed to have had full access to secret data is unlikely to be an isolated case

Revelations that a suspected Russian mole worked at the US embassy in Moscow for a decade could just be the tip of the iceberg.

This week the Guardian learned that a female Russian national, hired by the secret service, was dismissed after being caught holding regular and unauthorised meetings with the Russian intelligence agency the FSB.

The explosive report that came just hours after an extraordinary joint press conference in Washington by America’s top five national security officials who warned of a “broad and deep” effort by Russia to destabilize American democracy. Yet it is a threat that Donald Trump apparently fails to take seriously.
=======================================
I ask again: what does Putin have on Trump? And doesn't that make our President a national security threat? To me it sure looks like the Russians have compromised Trump.

 

[Common Sense 1]

All of that happened before Trump was elected president. The top five national security officials gave the briefing to the press at the White House after President Trump directed them
to do the briefing for the national press.


From the article:
“The secret service were going through all sorts of real problems of discipline and training under President Obama. There was a series of real muck-ups. This appears to fall into the same bucket, that same period of time, and show clearly from the top down there were organizational, morale, bureaucratic, security problems.

National security officials at White House briefing warn of 'pervasive' threats to US elections: 'It is real. It is continuing'

The leaders of four U.S. intelligence agencies reaffirm the "pervasive" and "ongoing" threats from foreign actors, including Russia, to interfere in upcoming U.S. elections.
The agency chiefs say President Donald Trump has directed a governmentwide initiative to protect American elections in the wake of Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential vote.
Asked if the Russian attacks served to benefit any specific political party in the U.S., Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said that country is "looking for every opportunity, regardless of party," to meddle in elections.

So back to agreeing that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. I suppose that's progress.

The Secret Service problem precedes the Obama administration...

US Secret Service agents' alleged scandals since 2004 revealed


There's your "deep state."
