FBI intercepted and arrested a Russian spy as she closed in on Hillary Clinton in 2010; report

When Hillary Clinton took on her duties as Secretary of State, federal agents watched the Kremlin mobilize multiple initiatives designed to penetrate Clinton’s inner circle, obtain intelligence and attempt to influence both Clinton and her husband former President Bill Clinton.

The Hill reported Sunday that one Russian agent posed as an American accountant and was able to get a job working for a major Democratic donor before FBI agents arrested and deported her.

Former FBI assistant director for counterintelligence Frank Figliuzzi supervised the post-arrest declassification and release of records on the 10-year federal investigation that ended with the unmasking of a Russian spy ring including spy-turned-model Anna Chapman.

New Jersey accountant Cynthia Murphy was a lesser-known arrest from that same spy ring, a “sleeper” agent on a 10-year mission. For most of her time in the U.S., Murphy spent “a great deal of time collecting information and passing it on.”

A lot like the FX Show The Americans (they could make a sequel for the Trump era)

Sickening, but nothing should surprise us as to infiltrators, spies & traitors.

After all that's revealed, I honestly will be suspicious of anyone challenging the Dem Party anymore on anything.

I'll remain a loyal democrat. The Party who, today, holds the same philosophy as always.
The People's Party.

Because they've leaned towards Liberal thinking, to a greater or lesser degree.
