Gotta give the Russians some credit for pulling this off

Suspected Russian spy found working at US embassy in Moscow
Exclusive: Russian is understood to have had full access to secret data during decade at embassy
US counter-intelligence investigators discovered a suspected Russian spy had been working undetected in the heart of the American embassy in Moscow for more than a decade, the Guardian has learned.

The Russian national had been hired by the US Secret Service and is understood to have had access to the agency’s intranet and email systems, which gave her a potential window into highly confidential material including the schedules of the president and vice-president.

They established she was having regular and unauthorised meetings with members of the FSB, Russia’s principal security agency.

The Guardian has been told the RSO sounded the alarm in January 2017, but the Secret Service did not launch a full-scale inquiry of its own. Instead it decided to let her go quietly months later, possibly to contain any potential embarrassment.

An intelligence source told the Guardian the woman was dismissed last summer after the state department revoked her security clearance. The dismissal came shortly before a round of expulsions of US personnel demanded by the Kremlin after Washington imposed more sanctions on the country.

The order to remove more than 750 US personnel from its 1,200-strong diplomatic mission is understood to have provided cover for her removal.

“The Secret Service is trying to hide the breach by firing [her],” the source said. “The damage was already done but the senior management of the Secret Service did not conduct any internal investigation to assess the damage and to see if [she] recruited any other employees to provide her with more information.

“Only an intense investigation by an outside source can determine the damage she has done.”
Nothing good can come from arrogance, for those who do not admit their mistakes never learn from them.

They would rather maintain the illusion of impenetrability by firing that suspected spy than come clean about the country's vulnerability and come up with future contingency plans.

Then again, when we have senior politicians and elected figures openly traveling to Moscow to make backdoor deals with a tyrant, it shows that we shouldn't expect a lot from those who are supposed to protect the country's sovereignty above all.

This is what decline looks like.

Trump Jr. says the Democratic Party platform is similar to the Nazis'

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump's eldest son said the platform of the Democratic Party is similar to that of the Nazi Party in Germany during the early 1930s and that history classes are biased against conservatives.

In a video posted Thursday by the pro-Trump One America News Network, Jack Posobiec -- a prominent right-wing voice online who supported the Pizzagate hoax -- spoke with Donald Trump Jr., who compared the present-day Democratic Party to Nazis and disparaged history taught by academics.

"I've been out hearing the left talking about all these things, fascism, Nazism on the right," Trump Jr. said. "And when you look at the actual history of how these things evolved, and when you actually look at that platform versus the platform of the modern left, you say wait a minute, those two are really heavily aligned and, frankly, contrary to the right."


 
Yeah, the Hotep Party where Black folks complain on the internet and then proceed not to vote in elections.

Unfortunately my boy @Maximus Meridius used to be a member of this group. Not anymore however. After countless conversations young @Maximus Meridius has finally seen the light, ready to put the shea butter down and head to the voting poll energized and made anew.
 
Ivanka has some dough. She made 85 milli last year, while not having a blind trust, which is required of those rich government grifters employees.
Jared's gotta pay off his debts though. Hopefully she got a prenup so when he goes to jail and she marries Tom Brady they will be financially secure.
