How The FBI Caught Most Dangerous Spy Selling Secrets To Russians!
This is how the FBI finally caught the most damaging spy in their agency’s, and arguably US history. A former FBI director of intelligence turned double agent and started selling secrets to a foreign government.

His underground espionage lasted decades, spurred on by a secret coding system and an international relationship with the KGB. He took advantage of his trusted position as an FBI agent in Washington to divulge millions of dollars worth of classified secrets to the Russians – secrets to which few others had access.
