Russia and China attempting to recruit disgruntled federal employees

[CNN, from a Red State Link] Foreign adversaries including Russia and China have recently directed their intelligence services to ramp up recruiting of US federal employees working in national security, targeting those who have been fired or feel they could be soon, according to four people familiar with recent US intelligence on the issue and a document reviewed by CNN.

The intelligence indicates that foreign adversaries are eager to exploit the Trump administration’s efforts to conduct mass layoffs across the federal workforce.

Russia and China are focusing their efforts on recently fired employees with security clearances and probationary employees at risk of being terminated, who may have valuable information about US critical infrastructure and vital government bureaucracy, two of the sources said. At least two countries have already set up recruitment websites and begun aggressively targeting federal employees on LinkedIn, two of the sources said.

A document produced by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service said the intelligence community assessed with "high confidence" that foreign adversaries were trying to recruit federal employees and "capitalize" on the Trump administration’s plans for mass layoffs, according to a partly redacted copy reviewed by CNN.

It added that foreign intelligence officers were being directed to look for potential sources on LinkedIn, TikTok, RedNote and Reddit.

#1 Seems like a good time for CounterIntel if they are that susceptible to offers from the other side? Perhaps unemployment isn't enuf? How about imprisonment and ruin?

#5 Russia and China can have 'em. I'm betting they'll wish they hadn't.

#6 We are a month and change into a historic demonstration of the Administrative State taking repeated groin shots. If now is the time that a previously upstanding CIA agent is deciding that it’s a good time to become a double agent, I think we have left reality. All the sketchy folks already did their treason and are trying to hide their tracks. It won’t work.
