What Putin Must Be Wondering


July 16, 2018 at 8:39 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

David Ignatius: “Putin’s elite spy world has been penetrated by U.S. intelligence. That’s the implication of the extraordinarily detailed 29-page indictment of 12 Russian military intelligence (GRU) officers handed up by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigators on Friday. The 11-count charge includes names, dates, unit assignments, the GRU’s use of ‘X-agent’ malware, its bitcoin covert funding schemes and a wealth of other tradecraft.”

“Putin must be asking himself: How did the Americans find out all these facts? What other operations have been compromised? And how much else do they know?”

putin must be feeling he needs to tighten things up on his operations - but nothing that can't be remedied.

And, he must be ecstatic at his investment and easy handling of the pathetic trump.
