At the height of the Profumo Affair in 1963, MI6 sent a letter and files to MI5 investigations head Arthur Martin about Profumo’s contacts with Winegard, maiden name Klein, and outlining her exploits.

The MI6 officer, Cyril Mackay, wrote: "Although it is not particularly relevant to the current notorious case, Geoffrey thought you might like to have for your files the attached copy of a report from our representative [redacted], dated 2nd October 1950, which makes mention of an association between Gisela Klein and Profumo which began ca 1933 and had apparently not ceased at the time of this report."

#2 Mr Profumo’s political downfall came in 1963 when was forced to resign amid lurid disclosures of high-society sex parties and claims he had shared a mistress, Christine Keeler, with a Soviet defence attache. He quit politics and devoted himself to charity work, going on to receive the CBE before dying aged 91 in 2006.

'Penance' for such sordid sins took a lifetime to achieve.

#5 50 years from now Facebook friends might have similar connotations and AshleyMadison.com should give lots of interesting data.

The possibility should not be discounted.

The similarities btwn the Profumo affair and the evil Trump-Russian conspiracy are quite similar.
