remind me today what did Julius and Ethel Rosenberg do?

[demtenjeep]

no snide-what did they do? I think it would be a good side by side with fat donnie's crimes

[Lithos]

1. Sold A-bomb secrets

Also recruited members inside.

Not the case I would use.

Pollard...

6. That kinda sounds like shades of kushner w the atomics to Saudi murderers.

And outting Khasoggi. he has it easy though. He just reads the PDB and decides what to pass on, and for how much.

2. I don't think Ethel did much of anything frankly... her role has always been questioned.

Specifically, they were accused of heading a spy ring that passed top-secret information concerning the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union.

7. Ethel's brother, David Greenglass,

admitted before he died that he lied about his sister Ethel's complicity in order to save his wife, who actually met with Russian couriers. The Feds used Ethel as leverage, thinking that she'd sell out her husband Julius, who would then be executed. She didn't, and both were executed for conspiracy to commit espionage.

3. Well, it depends

Do you mean "what did they really do" or "what were they proven at trial to have done"?

Because those are two different things.

The trial evidence was tainted. It is not clear that there was actual proof of their guilt in having provided secrets to the Soviet Union.

However, as was shown by information declassified much later on, they had actually done that.

4. In my opinion , what fat donnie has done is WAY worse

would you not agree?

[hlthe2b]

5. We have no way of knowing WHAT he's shared with Russia so???

[StarfishSaver]

8. True

The government framed likely guilty people.

11. Self deleted because I didn't read your last sentence

You are right the Venona Project confirmed the existence of the spy ring.

9. I do believe they got the Chair
