As public support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine appears nonexistent, the CIA and FBI are recruiting Kremlin insiders who oppose the war. Last year, during a speech in the United Kingdom, CIA Director Bill Burns said, “Disaffection creates a once-in-a-generation opportunity for us.”
The Gateway Pundit spoke to James Olson, author and former chief of CIA counterintelligence. The former intelligence official said it’s not uncommon for the CIA and FBI to seek sources, especially sources who are displeased with the actions of their home country.
“That’s the name of the game for us,” Olson explained. “The CIA, in particular, is in the recruitment business, [and] we’re always looking for penetrations of foreign governments, specifically in their intelligence services.”
Olson is pleased that the CIA and FBI are getting more “aggressive” in recruiting spies.
