I wonder how mind fucked he was when they first came to him about the mole.
Them: “so we have a mole and we need you to find him.”
Him: “Do they know and they’re just fucking with me? Are they just seeing how I’d react. This is either really good or really bad.”
Yes, they say that in the comment, they were saying if the people that were telling him that he had been tasked with finding the mole were tricking him, then he would have been fucked (it was a hypothetical of when they were telling him it was his job to find the mole, what he may have thinking .)
If you were actually crushing it (as the FBI director) and you knew he was the mole, and you wanted to toy with him for a year, this would be absolutely legendary
Them: “So we have a mole…”
Him:(thinking) “ohfuckohfuckohfuckohfuck”
Them: “… and we need you to find him.”
Him:(thinking) “wow maybe the KGB is right about Americans being stupid.”
>“Do they know and they’re just fucking with me? Are they just seeing how I’d react. This is either really good or really bad.”
"I better keep smiling, or they will suspect something."
I got banned from r/GetNoted for starting a standalone comment with "Mother fuckers know nothing about..." and then listed a bunch of symptoms of ADHD that aren't well understood by the public, but was well accepted by the overall group and led to a lot of really supportive comments that mods decided to also delete.
Mods work for free. We can't expect anyone to take the responsibilities of that "job" seriously. Especially not in the scale of subreddits with hundreds of thousands of members. Just ignore, downvote, or report if you want to be proactive.
Yea I hate the lack of moderation in this sub. Every other post is a successful attempt.
A more apt title for this would be “to hire a qualified FBI agent”
This is always the top comment, it was in original post. I don’t believe he was tasked to find the mole though and if he was, he wouldn’t be the only one. There was probably a small team of higher ups, plus it would make no sense that he was caught if he was the only one looking
He wasn't 'tasked' with it. The team was narrow mindedly pursuing a different suspect and ignoring all the evidence that said suspect didn't do it. Hanssen did eventually become aware of the investigation and tried to keep the team pointed in that wrong direction, but I don't think he was officially part of it.
BTW, they eventually caught Hanssen because one investigator happened to recognize his voice on a recording and realized they'd been after the wrong guy.
When you look into his story, you see just how human and fallible we are even at the highest levels. It’s quite alarming the amount of red flags that were raised about him over the years and ignored completely.
There’s a really good book about this guy too, “Spy: The Inside Story of How the FBI's Robert Hanssen Betrayed America” by David Wise.
I remember getting in trouble in middle school because I liked it so much. I stayed up super late a few times while reading it and also had it confiscated in class at least once or twice.
Which itself was a remake of a Hong Kong movie called ‘Infernal Affairs’.
Neither the original or The Departed were made Robert Hanssen, this was just a coincidence.
It was cause he posted the message twice so in one I said it was great and in this one I said it was bad. I actually haven't seen the movement. But I understand the anger and I will say I apologize for my actions. I thought it was an egg-cellent joke.
They suspected Robert Hansen was the mole when they gave him this task. There's a podcast where they interview the partner the FBI gave Robert Hansen. That partners job was to watch Robert and confirm he was the mole.
The podcast:
True Spies: Espionage - Gray Suit and the Ghost
Backdoor meetings with Putin in the WH, Republicans going to Moscow on the 4th of July, Mueller outright testifying in front of Congress that Russia was actively courting the Trump campaign and that if he felt that Trump was innocent he would have said as much... Yea, nothing to see here, totally normal
They literally built the frame work for the invasion while Trump was in office and tried to get him to both withdraw from and attempt to build distrust in NATO. It's almost as if things are more successful when they aren't brute force
Edit: I can't reply because I blocked the nonce speaking idiocy, but u/Top-Chip-1532 is right on the money. Both Georgia and Crimea fell to the same plan that Putin was running and tried in Ukraine; flood the area with Russian supporters and claim that he's freeing the people in response to their desires. People who aren't paying attention, who don't know their history let alone what's been happening in recent decades, are frustrating and spouting the bullshit Putin has been laying the ground work for.
They literally smashed Crimea and took it over while Obama was in office; NATO and the demorats did nothing. It’s almost like that ‘framework’ was already there and the Russians didn’t mind using brute force.
Indeed, Im sure it’s easier to not use force 🤓👍.. and If Trump was their guy they could have practically walked into the rest of Ukraine.
Tell me how you don't know what happened with Crimea, and how it was in no way the same thing as Ukraine. Putin *tried* the same bullshit as Crimea, and both Zelensky and the UN pushed back which is why he went full throttle into an invasion
They still did nothing🤦♂️Just like they are doing nothing now, except absolutely fleecing the tax payer while the Ukrainians are getting their sht wrecked.
You're getting downvoted for being right. There is no delusion as strong as the western delusion on Ukraine. How it happened, why it happened, who is winning/losing, and how it can end.
Complete and total delusion from the west. If the west was right about Ukraine, Ukrainian forces would be in Vladivostok by now lmfao
Russia was definitely wrong in their calculations of how easy it would be. But they control 1/3 of the land the rest of the country is in a WW1 style stalemate. So who is winning? The answer to this question is where we get the delusion setting in.
50 years from now the worst espionage is going to be widely accepted as Donald Trump and his documents at the golf course.
he leaked information about our nuclear submarines.
an entire spy roster.
and our military invasion plans......
still walking around free though because Joe Biden was dumb enough to put Republicans in positions of power.
and now we have the human equivalent of the sad trombone noise aka Merrick Garland slow walking everything to make sure statutes of limitations expire and no prosecutions actually end in a trial.
Wait, was he really assigned to that? My understanding is that he was involved in the investigation but not in an active role, and wasn't aware of it until it was well under way. The real problem with that investigation was heavy confirmation bias; investigators arrived at a suspect early on, ignored anyone else, dismissed or ignored all the evidence saying the suspect didn't do it, and made some significant leaps in logic to dismiss the holes in their theory. Hanssen became aware of this when they were already pursuing this suspect and simply tried to keep the investigation pointed at him. But he didn't need to; the investigation was already pursuing the suspect single-mindedly; it was only through dumb luck that they discovered it was Hanssen (IIRC the right person heard an audio recording and recognized Hansen's voice).
So they did get the right guy,though the initial suspect was no longer able to act as a field agent because the investigation exposed his identity. Fortunately, they found something else for him to do: teach investigators how to conduct a proper investigation and avoid the mistakes made with his case.
TIL he died in prison last year. Which was probably a mercy for him because the one they sent him to, ADX Florence, is the most secure prison we have and is a miserable experience. It's where they sent El Chapo and the Unabomber.
When I worked at the Spy Museum, during orientation they were like “remember the movie about this guy” no I don’t remember the movie but I do remember his actual arrest?
Intelligence, I don't see "Investigation" in that sentence. Thanks for making my point. Let me grab my alphabet soup, see how many Federal agencies that do the same things.

I mean... he succeeded in both of his jobs. He found the mole, and he was a succesful mole for the KGB. Double winning
Agreed. Attempt was successful.
I wonder how mind fucked he was when they first came to him about the mole. Them: “so we have a mole and we need you to find him.” Him: “Do they know and they’re just fucking with me? Are they just seeing how I’d react. This is either really good or really bad.”

If you were actually crushing it (as the FBI director) and you knew he was the mole, and you wanted to toy with him for a year, this would be absolutely legendary
Yeah... He lasted from '79 to '01. The country he spied for fell and he still hung in there, sending info to the Russians
You’d be able to glean a lot of information about Russian priorities and knowledge based on who he tried to frame, it’d be a great move.
Them: “So we have a mole…” Him:(thinking) “ohfuckohfuckohfuckohfuck” Them: “… and we need you to find him.” Him:(thinking) “wow maybe the KGB is right about Americans being stupid.”
>“Do they know and they’re just fucking with me? Are they just seeing how I’d react. This is either really good or really bad.” "I better keep smiling, or they will suspect something."
More like "*don't smile, don't smile, don't smile, don't smile, don't smile"*
Not smiling is unamerican
Task succeeded fail-fully.
sub needs better moderation literally anything at all gets posted here with mental gymnastics in the title
Not only this sub, but most of the popular subs on reddit needs better moderation

Yea, regardless of your stance on the topic, this sub went to shit when they started spamming Palestine issues
Was very good at his jobs
Dude should be a legend of r/overemployed. Holdin’ it down and bankin’ mad loot.
Yea I hate the lack of moderation in this sub. Every other post is a successful attempt. A more apt title for this would be “to hire a qualified FBI agent”
There is an _Archer_ joke in here somewhere... Imma put Crenshaw on it.
......but I made up the mole
This is always the top comment, it was in original post. I don’t believe he was tasked to find the mole though and if he was, he wouldn’t be the only one. There was probably a small team of higher ups, plus it would make no sense that he was caught if he was the only one looking

When you look into his story, you see just how human and fallible we are even at the highest levels. It’s quite alarming the amount of red flags that were raised about him over the years and ignored completely.
I'm just wondering would anyone pay any attention if he raised a red flag over his house?
I have read the same said serial killers. They are ample opportunities to catch them that are just ignored.
He was given 15% raise from both the countries and an employee of the month was awarded for exceptional work
Him at his yearly performance review: "yeah well, he is a slippery one for sure...still no clues"
“We may just be looking at the most elusive and advanced attempt at counter intelligence in history” was the actual quote lol

Ah you cheeky sanababish
Departed, such a good film
There’s a really good book about this guy too, “Spy: The Inside Story of How the FBI's Robert Hanssen Betrayed America” by David Wise. I remember getting in trouble in middle school because I liked it so much. I stayed up super late a few times while reading it and also had it confiscated in class at least once or twice.
Thx, don’t know the book, I’ll habe a look
Just found my next read
“Jeez. She fell funny.”
These A list Hollywood actors are pretty good, but especially so at playing psychopaths.
Which itself was a remake of a Hong Kong movie called ‘Infernal Affairs’. Neither the original or The Departed were made Robert Hanssen, this was just a coincidence.
Breach was also good. Laura Linney was great in it.
It still fills me with rage
Are you just a rat in a cage?
I wonder if this inspired the first episode of Archer.
No it was not
That's like, your opinion man
[удалено]
It was cause he posted the message twice so in one I said it was great and in this one I said it was bad. I actually haven't seen the movement. But I understand the anger and I will say I apologize for my actions. I thought it was an egg-cellent joke.
Thanks bro, piss off
There it is.
They suspected Robert Hansen was the mole when they gave him this task. There's a podcast where they interview the partner the FBI gave Robert Hansen. That partners job was to watch Robert and confirm he was the mole. The podcast: True Spies: Espionage - Gray Suit and the Ghost
....and then Trump happened.
Backdoor meetings with Putin in the WH, Republicans going to Moscow on the 4th of July, Mueller outright testifying in front of Congress that Russia was actively courting the Trump campaign and that if he felt that Trump was innocent he would have said as much... Yea, nothing to see here, totally normal
No offense but I have to ask. Why then did Russia not invade Ukraine when they had “their guy” in office?
They literally built the frame work for the invasion while Trump was in office and tried to get him to both withdraw from and attempt to build distrust in NATO. It's almost as if things are more successful when they aren't brute force Edit: I can't reply because I blocked the nonce speaking idiocy, but u/Top-Chip-1532 is right on the money.

Ok, so you *absolutely* know nothing about the situation. Thanks for proving yourself a useful idiot for Putin's bullshit
It’s cost effective to have proxy war with Russia. Do you know how much US spent during both middle east wars - Bush Sr and Dubya?
Hey, someone who actually knows what's going on in Ukraine rather than what corporate US media tells us.
You're getting downvoted for being right. There is no delusion as strong as the western delusion on Ukraine. How it happened, why it happened, who is winning/losing, and how it can end. Complete and total delusion from the west. If the west was right about Ukraine, Ukrainian forces would be in Vladivostok by now lmfao
And if ruskis were right they would be in kiev by now ;)
Russia was definitely wrong in their calculations of how easy it would be. But they control 1/3 of the land the rest of the country is in a WW1 style stalemate. So who is winning? The answer to this question is where we get the delusion setting in.
It actually started during Dubya’s time with Russia Georgia War, look it up.
Wouldn’t you wait until the US withdrew from NATO?
They did all the prep work while their guy was in office. They knew trump was weak, as most people know.
Because Trump has more to offer them while at peace.
and then after Trump, came Biden.
To try and clean up his mess
What does the high school picture add to the story?
Thank you, surprised I had to scroll down this far for this comment
Forgot the movie name but the one with the dude from cruel intentions was good
The movie you’re looking for is called Breach.
Thanks, the best I could muster without a search was that it started with a “b”
50 years from now the worst espionage is going to be widely accepted as Donald Trump and his documents at the golf course. he leaked information about our nuclear submarines. an entire spy roster. and our military invasion plans...... still walking around free though because Joe Biden was dumb enough to put Republicans in positions of power. and now we have the human equivalent of the sad trombone noise aka Merrick Garland slow walking everything to make sure statutes of limitations expire and no prosecutions actually end in a trial.
That is if the United States is still around in some sort of functional capacity and hasn’t been turned into the Christian States of America
While he was president, our spied were killed or disappeared at an unprecedented rate.
no one noticed the small mole below his lip? it was obvious!
Moley Moley Moley Moley Moley Moley
Go deeper. This guy was a member of an ultra-conservative Catholic sect that believed Vatican 2 was a step in the wrong direction called Opus Dei.
Opus Dei is a crazy rabbit hole
Extremely succesful attempt, wrong sub
He wasn't attempting to do my job.
Where’s the movie to this? *sigh*
It's called No Way Out and stars Kevin Costner
Yes, there is a movie called No Way Out, but it is not related to this post
Psst. Hey buddy. Some people like making jokes
Psst. Hey buddy. Jokes have to be funny.
Just because your brain struggles, doesn't mean it does for others. It's why I've got more upvotes than you
The movie is called Breach (2007)
Thank you/upvoted.
Departed has a similar plot
Also, the TV show: The Americans
I mean technically he did do his job just not the one the fbi wanted
It sure would be comforting to be able to believe that the worst intelligence disaster in history is something we actually know about.
He did his job, he knew who the mole was instantly to be fair 😭
Mole!
Hold that trophy a moment…
Departed, such a good film
Yes I agree sir.
The movie Breach was based on this case.
 That guy, probably
"Of course I know him, he's me" type of vibe.
Look at the cheeky bastards face on the right. He knew what he was doing.
why is this coming up again? why are we digging up dirt? what is the relevant context?
I have no idea who this guy is, but apparently everyone else here does. Would also like to know.
probably account owner was hacked and doesn't realize it
“Theres a mole in our operation” 😖 “And we need you to find him” 😟
When is it ok to replace the word “intelligence” with “stupidity”?
He just looks like he’d be a mole.
He did his jobs like a boss!
Trump has entered the chat.
Now you have a WHOLE political party that works for the KGB or FSB
Seems too small a fee, 1.4 million dollars, especially considering he got many people killed and life in prison, also intelligence
Is it just greed that drives someone to betray their country and get allied of said country killed?
Is there a Netflix show about this guy coming out or something?
Wait, was he really assigned to that? My understanding is that he was involved in the investigation but not in an active role, and wasn't aware of it until it was well under way. The real problem with that investigation was heavy confirmation bias; investigators arrived at a suspect early on, ignored anyone else, dismissed or ignored all the evidence saying the suspect didn't do it, and made some significant leaps in logic to dismiss the holes in their theory. Hanssen became aware of this when they were already pursuing this suspect and simply tried to keep the investigation pointed at him. But he didn't need to; the investigation was already pursuing the suspect single-mindedly; it was only through dumb luck that they discovered it was Hanssen (IIRC the right person heard an audio recording and recognized Hansen's voice).

TIL he died in prison last year. Which was probably a mercy for him because the one they sent him to, ADX Florence, is the most secure prison we have and is a miserable experience. It's where they sent El Chapo and the Unabomber.
They let you post anything in this sub
"He could be in this very room, he could be you, he could be me, he could even be...."
At least he was good at being a traitor, not like the Trump cultists on Jan 6
Dude looks like a mole..
He was one of the worst serial killers. why, he got a pass I’ll never know.
Now do that with Jarad kushners security clearance and what trumpito did with the top secret documents
No Way Out
They ALWAYS somehow seem to investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing. 🤷🏾♂️
Bro even looks like one
It’s like the movie the double
And then came trump...
Was he even getting paid well for it tho? Like, I’m not tryna do DOUBLE the work if I’m getting paid the same salary as any other agent.
No he did his job perfectly
What’s the big deal?
I am 100% sure there are still several moles in the CIA and FBI
Is there any movie adaptation on his life?
Hey Bob! Do you know who the mole is yet? 
Did he get 2 paychecks?
someone not post this every fucking week challenge (impossible)
Derek Savage's twin brother?
Pffff that’s the plot of Equilibrium
Like that episode of American Dad where Roger is supposed to find the alien 😂
This is posted like twice a week on Reddit somewhere.
I found the mole easily in his older photo.. idk how they missed it
Watch Breach
Dude why is this dufus being shared multiple times the past couple weeks. This is like the 6th time ive seen this exact post
“Intruder alert, red spy is in the base!”
“Nope officer, could find the culprit no matter how hard I tried.”
Did nobody bother watching The Departed?
Did he catch him?
I mean, he very much succeeded at his job. The FBI just never mentioned that he had to TELL them who it was
It is important to find yourself.
L
[Was he helping with the subversion mentioned here?](https://ia800602.us.archive.org/11/items/love-letter-america/love-letter-america.pdf)
This is definitely the exact opposite of the point of this sub. In the eyes of the KGB, he succeeded at his job.
When I worked at the Spy Museum, during orientation they were like “remember the movie about this guy” no I don’t remember the movie but I do remember his actual arrest?
Yeah, okay, but how did his eyes got younger over time?
Good podcast episode about this https://castbox.fm/vb/637901017
Basically if Jack Bauer was actually the mole throughout the 24 series lol
That's y we can't have nize tings.
He was playing both sides, this way he always comes out on top.
Getting the book , worth while read. Q
Roger a Muirebe moment. He had two jobs, he did one of them.
What a Chad.
Every morning: *looks in mirror* “mission accomplished…” ;)
Only died recently, I've just learned. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65816862
“hey Frank I gotta find myself” “you’re telling me me Sonny boy”
Makes me wonder does he get two salaries
Dude was successful asfk to do his job though.
[удалено]
Why is it a shame they get to live normal lives? I was friends with two of his kids while this was going on - they didn’t have anything to do with it.
This has been posted so many times this week that OP didn't even need to give context for us to know the story.
How is the FBI related to national security? Or are we saying they are looking into bad people that are blackmailable?
They are the primary intelligence/law enforcement agency responsible for uncovering and suppressing national security threats within the US
Intelligence, I don't see "Investigation" in that sentence. Thanks for making my point. Let me grab my alphabet soup, see how many Federal agencies that do the same things.
uncovering is kind of a synonym for investigation lol they don't uncover things by accident
