Debra Smith . A great citizen and professional !!!

Let me tell y'all something, Debra Smith is the real deal. I crossed paths with her twice in my career and she was as equally impressive then as she is in this. If she is on your ass, go ahead and give it up... She doesn't lose, ever.

I can't understand how someone who only worked for the FBI for 3 years would sell out his country for mere money when he was given a job and a position of trust. This Miss Smith is an asset to our country. Nice work.

Why are they not recommending Agent O'Reilly book, Gray Day?? He deserves recognition for this take down!

Ms. Smith is very impressive. I think I’ve read most books on Hanssen, but have only recommended one; you can imagine how gratified I was when Ms. Smith emphasized David Wise’s SPY. This was a very, very interesting program. Thank you.

According to author David Wise, Hansen in fact DID give the FBI an explanation as to why he turned traitor and that his only motivation was "financial".

He died a few hours ago, June 5, 2023.

Excellent. Thank you.

I hope they apologized to Brian Kelly.

I used to walk on my lunch hour at Foxstone Park. A pretty little nature park in a suburb of Washington.

Hansen is a modern day Benedict Arnold. He is just despicable.

Thank you.

How can you have an in depth interview about this case and dont even refer to Eric O’Neil?

Hansen had similarities to the Rampart scandal, Stephanie Lazarus arrest.

Listening to this the day the traitor passed away incarcerated. Interesting video!

The “Need to Know” is the golden rule of Intelligence work. Certainly was that way in the US Army MI in the 70s and I’m sure it still is

Imagine having a museum showcasing (the handcuffs used on Hansen etc) the failures of the FBI lol

Hanssen looking at the sign with a flashlight was probably NOT looking for the drop itself, but a signal mark indicating a drop had been made. Chalk is supposedly popular.

It’s too hard to hear the guests. They need to turn up the microphones

9:26. That is not a revolver.

Would love to have asked what Ms. Smith thought about the film BREACH starring Chris Cooper as Hanssen. Guessing the Kate Burroughs character is based on her. Wondering if the FBI requested the name change. Laura Linney was great in the role but Angela Basset would have been just as good.

Hansen also chose that bridge because he could see it from his back porch....

Facinating interview esp w/ Robert Hannsen's death last week!

NOT a service “revolver” 9:31

Yes

The volume on this is so low I couldn’t listen - the adverts came booming out at maximum loudness which was too much since I can’t predict when they’re coming. What a pity - it seems very interesting.

Well done. It must have been so sweet to smack the cuffs on. It sure didn't help Hanssen's career.

The fact that his wife collects his pension is deplorable.

Like so many KZfaq sites your sound is APPALLING

Hanssen was definitely subverted, just like Richard Nixon was back during the Eisenhower Administration. On the 'retire to Poland' stuff, basically that was exploiting the legal non disclosure clauses involving my holocaust survivor grandparents in Buffalo NY, and the rest of that probably involved an 'uncle Bill' charade with Hanssen identifying as the late William Donovan, who was also Catholic, which suggests that Donovan was assassinated, and probably through some covert means. On the 9/11 thing, he did not 'help', and the 9/11 attacks were something that he helped to facilitate for the GRU as a means of retribution for the USAs intervention in the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan back in the 1980s, which was all part of his money laundering agenda in strip clubs, and knowing where to direct his money laundering assets to sell their food stamps for 'fifty cents on the dollar'. With his charity and political campaign contributions, all he was doing was conveying a Russian human intelligence agenda, and you can see that here and in the Eric O'Neill videos, in regards to Hanssen endorsing and forwarding tenets coming from 'the wrong book', in regards to operations and procedure, basically 'stovepiping', for unfriendly Intel. The Russians are good, don't get me wrong, but what they perceive to be our weakness is also our greatest strength, and that would be in regards to our ethics and ideals that are upheld when we engage in proper procedure in regards to due process and the consideration of an individual's civil rights. On the money laundering end, no one is going to come forward about that, ditto for the campaign contributions and charity contributions, but it comes down to knowing and what was done to shut down most of the known, planned 9/11 attacks, with funding for terrorist activity coming from the food stamp trafficking scams. The amount of leverage created by Hanssen as a defensive measure and means of obstruction was unreal, like the proverbial facehugger from an ALIEN movie, in that you can't kill it without it killing you, and a lot of that went through the unfriendly Intel human intelligence agenda - like I said though, his knowledge and participation in that would indicate that he was subverted before he came under Federal employment. A lot of the 'systemic corruption' that has plagued certain police departments is just 'him', peddling his influence and corruption to undermine local law enforcement, and it's clearly evident in Cities like Louisville and Lexington KY, where the equestrian industry brings visitors from all over the world and where threats against those visitors can be exploited not only as political leverage but as a means of obstruction as well. With a subvert though, it's not exactly like dealing with a split personality and on a clinical end it looks like schizophrenia, when the handler who imprinted him dominates and when he thinks he's 'running the show', but I would advise just handing people like him off to the CIA and sending them to GITMO in the future. For ah - 'debriefing'. People who investigate sex crimes probably get what I am talking about here, and it amounts to victims of sexual trauma identifying as the perpetrator or alleged perpetrator, and that person having a corrupt influence on the alleged victim, with the facilitation of self destructive behavior and all that, and with engaging in treasonous activity perhaps representing the ultimate in self destructive behavior. On the strip club end, figure that nearly every stripper that Hanssen went to for help on this, he probably ended up corrupting, as well. One of the more well known examples of a childhood sex trauma being exploited by unfriendly Intel is probably Nguyen Sihn Cung, and I think you all know who he was, but it comes down to the bad guys finding that anger and exploiting it as a means to manipulate. This trend is relevant in that it figures into the means utilized to facilitate the spillover from the protectorate which safeguards elections, AKA 'active shooters'. Still, awesome job on Hanssen, when you consider the amount of assassination threats and terror threats and divisive race issues and other means of obstruction facilitated by him or to protect him, and I am sure that I don't know them all, all I can say is awesome job. The amount of collateral damage is still staggering, but without this investigation having come to a successful conclusion, it would have been far, far worse.

Hanssen is reported to have died very recently. I have long thought about this case and wonder if anyone has thought to check one angle: If I were a KGB or FSB handler (Hanssen worked for both), after gaining basic confidence in even an anonymous source I thought well placed, I would be interested in having such a person birddog any other person they knew who might be vulnerable. Set rewards could be promised and I would expect an anonymous sources NOT to speak of persons very close to him. That is all the more feasible since Hanssen proved to have vices that might have led him to run into others who were well placed who he could ID. I also am very curious about Hanssen's long fallow period: he sensibly broke off contact while the USSR was collapsing and resumed only around when V. Putin took charge. Was Hansen still showing excess spending during that time, my thought is that he may have sought another employer but I have never heard that question brought up. I consider my query about him birddogging more critical anyway. I hope Ms. Smith or some colleague can be consulted, I have found that from outside it isn't possible to track the careers of even former FBI persons (or others) who may have drawn Hanssen's attention in some way, yet some FBI personnel have seemingly been a little shady in the last decade or so, known to have spoken of "OCONUS lures" set to test or compromise individuals working in political campaigns, for example. Thank you, I don't need a reply, but would like someone capable to be informed of my questions.

UNFORGIVEN

That wasn't a revolver.

I would imagine the solitary of ADX Florence, is a gift for someone like Hanssen. Because, by contrast, if his being in general population, for example, at a place like Leavanthal, KS, would drive him nuts, dealing with the mad-house: For example, Hanssen is too cerebral for a "planet of the Apes" type environment. After watching the movie, Hanssen seems like he would prefer being non-social, and locked-up, all alone, monk-like. Either way, he is directly responsible for people being executed. This is Not for me to judge, and I only hope his victims are in heaven

So despite betraying our country an agent can still take comfort in the knowledge that his family can still enjoy his pension. Sorry...but if an agent betrays us, they should expect to lose everything including the pension....❤️🇺🇸. Let us not make this deal again.

The spy museum lady should have handed over to the speaker earlier She was a terrible speaker

That Rolex is no big deal

What took you so long?

Stop saying I’m !!!!

definitely_not_the_FBI🍀 Neighbors don't you know. LOL I'll watch the video now. Message pretense. Thank you!

"here's his service revolver". Then shows picture of semi-automatic pistol.

Stop saying......Um!!!!!!!

Great talk about the case. He gets to live and those poor agents in the Soviet Union who lost theirs because he gave them up. He basically murdered them. I am so proud of the FBI in catching this traitor. What angers me is how some make Snowden out to be a hero. He is the same as Hanssen.

A narcissist with Top Secret information. Imagine that!

These Intelligence women are kicking ass!

FBI traitor? Surely not

Very interesting Case, I believe he was Agent for another country/ power , then join the F.B.I So he can get information to help the Russians , which in return help the people he was really working For!!

Eric O'Neil was the guy who did the most vital job. That woman doesn't even mention his name. Some investigation. Hard to figure out her personal role in the case.

36 "umm'z" in 2 minutes. lost count. However, very Brilliant & smart ladies. Especially Debra.

Shout out to FSB!

Eric Oneil did the actual work.

They put the same efforts on their own president

Strange women !

Anyone from India 🇮🇳

Boring.

Of course the black woman gets the credit. Wokeness strikes again
