Harry Hopkins was a pro Soviet traitor
2013-08-19
I have referred to Diana West and her book American Betrayal on pro Soviet perfidy within the Franklin Roosevelt administration before. This is her treatment of an event in which Roosevelt adviser was actively helping the Soviets spy on the US during a time of war. You really should follow all the links in the article

From TFA:


Why does this matter of ambassador vs. embassy matter? I will jump ahead in Haynes and Klehr's text to reveal the importance they ascribe to the notion that Hopkins passed the FBI's covert surveilance information to the Soviet "ambassador" -- and not an intelligence professional.

#5  #4 BP, close but I think it was Wilson that caused the initial wound that became infected.

Jonah Goldberg does a fine job on that point in Liberal Fascism (highly recommended if you haven't already read it).

#2  ...Hopkins was pro-Soviet, but it's hard to be a traitor when your orders to do these things come from the President of the United States. Another example of this sort of thing should suffice: a Soviet warship went down near Finland, and British intel recovered its code book, and quite reasonably shared it with us. Upon being advised of this, President Roosevelt ordered the code book copy be returned AT ONCE to the Russians, and OSS director William Donovan was detailed to do it, along with a groveling apology.
