“The FBI warned four years ago that a foundation controlled by the Russian oligarch who allegedly reimbursed Donald Trump’s personal lawyer might have been acting on behalf of Russia’s intelligence services,” NPR reports.

“FBI Special Agent in Charge Lucia Ziobro wrote an unusual column in the Boston Business Journal in April of 2014 to warn that a foundation controlled by Russian energy baron Viktor Vekselberg might be part of a Moscow spying campaign that sought to siphon up American science and technology.”

That is the goal of corporate espionage and even much political espionage. Everyone wanted German technology, patents, scientists, and processes as World War II ended. The race to Berlin was partly about dividing the spoils. We've caught a few spies grabbing our proprietary knowledge, as well as some of our own. This is no different. America is being sold off here.
