Quote for the Day:

A skeptic might point out that as far as that behavior relates to Trump, none of it is necessarily criminal. That’s true. But that’s also not the point. For any intelligence agency, one of the top strategic goals is to understand an adversary’s actions and develop ways to influence that behavior, to give that agency’s government a competitive advantage. Russia does that better than most other countries, and it does it in a myriad of ingenious ways, including exploiting ideological, financial, and other coercive vulnerabilities of people able to help it achieve its ends. The aim of counterintelligence is not necessarily to build a criminal case against these manipulated individuals, or prove that a law has been broken; it’s to understand how they are contributing to an adversary’s intelligence needs and to apply that knowledge toward the ultimate goal of protecting the United States and advancing our own strategic interests.
