#2 How would we not know the difference, it is the State Department whose last interest is representing the American people.

#3 More likely, CIA thought this guy was actually working for them and didn't want to be told different.

#5 Greg Allen NPR: ALLEN: Right. Well, you know, he's charged with acting as an illegal foreign agent for Cuba. And there's other charges... a conspiracy charge and numerous counts of fraud. The indictment says after he was recruited by the Cuban intel agency, he became a U.S. citizen and then applied for work at the State Department. And from 1981 to 2002, he served in a variety of diplomatic posts. He was in the Dominican Republic, in Argentina, in Cuba, and then finally ended his career as ambassador to Bolivia. The indictment doesn't indicate what secrets or other information he may have transmitted to Cuba, but he's charged with being an illegal agent. At this point, he's not been charged with espionage.

#7 Rocha and his ilk are the reason that I don’t think that countries like Cuba, Russia and China were paying Hunter for access to Joe’s dated garage intel. The big governments all had spies inside to provide the current document, codes etc ala cart by Door Dash. Hunter was probably having Joe bring home files that related to his Burisma work. In actuality, the files were Hunter’s Burisma work. He certainly, was not valuable for his personal experience and expertise. Ukraine has plenty of addicts and hookers that precluded the need to go outside to fill Hunter’s board position.
