Attorney General Barr is looking at internal American spying, and it’s a good thing. But while he’s at it, he should take a hard look at traditional spying. You know, enemy spies in our midst.

What if the coup operation worked, in whole or in part, thanks to the skilled efforts of one or more foreign intelligence services? What if our intelligence services were penetrated by Russian, Chinese, Iranian, Cuban and North Korean agents, who manipulated our spooks by dint of disinformation?

It would not be the first time we were gulled into believing we were getting assistance from our enemies, nor would it be the first time American politicians turned to enemy spooks for assistance in American political campaigns and operations. The most sensational such case was when, in 1983, Senator Kennedy of Massachusetts sent his law school buddy, former California Senator John Tunney, to Moscow with a message for the head of the KGB. The message: the strained relations between Washington and Moscow were the fault of Ronald Reagan, and the Kremlin needed a media campaign to make things better. Kennedy offered to help.

Sound familiar? A foreign intelligence service meddling in an American presidential election? This sort of collusion was commonplace, as you can learn by reading Vladimir Bukosvky’s soon-to-be-released English version of Judgment in Moscow. Bukovsky cites Central Committee documents to show how closely the KGB worked with American trade unions, academics, politicians and journalists. To this day, the CIA refuses to release the Mitrokhin files on American journalists who worked closely with the Soviets, but those files do exist. I have no doubt Americans worked for and with the Chinese, Iranians, North Koreans and Cubans, some for money, others for conviction. I’m struck (as is Tony Badran, who has sharp eyes) by the similarity of leftist American posters to older Maoist ones, for example. It’s a graphic demonstration of the ideological appeal of radical communist themes in our popular culture. Anyone who closely studied the ease with which Americans were recruited by the Soviets during the Cold War would harbor deep suspicion of today’s leftists. It may well be that some of them are fully recruited foreign agents, like the Cambridge gang around Philby at Cambridge after the Second World War.
