Mueller's Botched Counterintelligence Efforts

Back in 2005, Judge Richard Posner anticipated precisely these problems with FBI counterintelligence in his book Remaking Domestic Intelligence.

What is clear is that the FBI should not act thunderstruck by Russian operations to, in Mueller's words, "Sow discord" in American politics.

Here is one more example that shows the abject failure of FBI counterintelligence: the Snowden case.

America had just suffered its most catastrophic loss of secrets in history, the culprit went to China and Russia, but Mueller still refused to even acknowledge a counterintelligence issue.

Properly understood, the Mueller Special Counsel is a Mueller investigation into Mueller's failure as the FBI director.

Theoretically speaking, one of the FBI's core responsibilities is counterintelligence.

The FBI lists eight priorities on their website and counterintelligence is second: "Protect the United States against foreign intelligence operations and espionage."
