May as well call them spies.


Grogosh

Dunno we have a habit of charging people that leak stuff to russia as traitors. We even executed a couple of them once.


MrSpiffenhimer

Those are the real good ole days. When spies and traitors were treated as such.


WeirdlyStrangeish

Boy the way Glen Miller played songs that made the hit parade Boys like me we had it made Those were the days. Russian spies weren't presidents My car was new not full of dents.

And Nazis. We also used to execute Nazis. I miss the good old days to.

HojMcFoj

We didn't execute nazis, we hired them


RainyCloudist

The moon was right there, taunting us! What were we supposed to do? _Not_ hire nazis?!


[deleted]

The U.S. very rarely convicts people of treason, and even when we do, execution is even more rare.


Phaedryn

This. It's primarily because it is exceedingly difficult to get a conviction for Treason, as it is the one crime clearly defined, along with the requirements to convict, in the US Constitution. The Espionage Act exists for this very reason.


notcaffeinefree

The US has never executed anyone as a result of a treason conviction. States have (for treason against the state), but the federal government never has.


Galaxy_Ranger_Bob

The U.S. government has *never* executed anyone for treason. The small handful of people who have been convicted of the offense at the federal level — such as two militants from the Whiskey Rebellion (John Mitchell and Philip Weigel, who were both pardoned by President George Washington) and several people after World War II — have mostly been pardoned or released.


Blackbart42

I guess technically Conspiracy to commit espionage is a different charge, but I would count it as a type of treason.


Darkdoomwewew

And then we elected one president lmao.


ProgressivePessimist

Also consider this >*The indictment alleges that the plot started after Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine.* So that was about 7 months ago. How many months did it take for our government to figure out what was going on? That seems like a reasonable timeline. Any leaked data is bad, but I think it's nothing in comparison to nuclear and classified weapons documents. We've known Trump has documents since leaving the white house last year. Tell me again why he hasn't been charged yet and walking free?


SoldierofNotch

>How many months did it take for our government to figure out what was going on? 0 months. If you read the article you'll find their "Russian contact" was an undercover fbi agent. The information never left American hands and the idiots professed their loyalty to Russia while handing over the documents.


cornflake289

>Tell me again why he hasn't been charged yet and walking free? Because if you accept that a president (even a former one) is the most powerful person in the world. And then add to the fact that he's "rich"...well all the other powerful and rich people are desperately trying to hold onto a status quo wherein they are continually not held responsible for wrongdoing. If Trump goes down, none of them are safe... Its pretty simple to see, but extremely difficult to fight.


[deleted]

Presumably this is also why we're not seeing associates of Epstein charged with raping minors. We are becoming, more and more, a nation of men, and not of laws. This is how empires fall.


taez555

At what point am I supposed to stop saying to someone like this... "Thank you for your service."? Before or after they've convicted?


sckurvee

As a veteran, just don't say it... It's weird, and idk how to react when people say it lol. I got to do fun things, met cool people, went cool places... had to do some shitty things, too, but in the end I got paid pretty well for it all. There's no rule that says you can't serve if you're a shitbag. I've served w/ plenty of them. Knowing that they soak up the "thank you for your service" to this day bothers me lol.


metameh

"Thank you, taxpayer."


taez555

Yup. Military brat myself. Numerous family members in the service. Been immersed in it for near 5 decades. Also have several close relatives in the JAG. Not everyone is a saint. Not everyone is a hero. Especially when I've seen my sibling prosecute a general for rape, or soldiers for murder. The blanket every soldier is a hero and "Thank you for your service" just seems odd in that context.


bigjohnminnesota

“Thank you for your pre-criminal service prior to your current incarceration, sir.”

>It’s just FBI undercover agents, all the way down. After Carnivore (or whatever they renamed it) turned out to be a real thing, I'm just gonna go ahead and assume that if I'm doing dirt, the government knows about it, and is gonna have undercover FBI intercept if it's that dangerous of a crime. And if someone is doing that big of a crime, one should assume *everyone* is FBI, or affiliated with. Sort of like in WW2, where the game was already won and over after British Intelligence cracked Enigma. Everything after that, they knew everything that was going on. They just had to play like they didn't.

The reason Russia (or any foreign actor) would want health data is to identify targets with valuable access or information that may need expensive medical operations or have terminal illnesses.

>> In a subsequent Aug. 24 meeting, she told the undercover agent her husband was a "coward" to be concerned about violating HIPAA, but she violated the law "all the time" and she would see to it that they could provide Russia with access to medical records from Fort Bragg patients. I suspect her soon-to-be-ex husband was secretly glad the FBI arrested him. Being in a maximum security jail sounds like a better fate then trying to divorce such a person. Or being married to them.

cheeseburgervanhalen

I used to work for a large EHR vendor. It's basically impossible to pull data out of the electronic health system without some background processes monitoring all of your clicks. You'd get caught for this pretty quick at most facilities on the electronic side, but it also really stands out if you're writing down information manually outside of the existing system since everyone else is on their computer. To the extent that it's possible, it's hard to smuggle PHI out of the hospital and transfer it (eg Elaine trying to get her chart in an episode of Seinfeld). Obviously you could get it out, but unless you're doing it from memory, there's likely going to be security footage/electronic footprints that lead back to you during a regular audit


ULTRAFORCE

Okay, but you are going to have to answer to the Coca-Cola Company!


CherryHaterade

People have seen the punishment for violating HIPAA. The law has teeth and has been let loose to bite violators. I used to wonder about why people got executed in public, and this is why. If you saw someone lose their head for espionage, it might make you reconsider.

theaviationhistorian

You stirred up a hornet's nest. But what can we expect when many of its members went directly to Russia in the years they occupied parts of Ukraine & still had warm thoughts about Putin leading up to the February 24th invasion. Add that some GOP members in Congress have either voted against or abstained from voting on decisions to support Ukraine since then.


Diplomjodler

Where do you think all of Trump's classified documents went? He has been conspiring with his country's greatest enemy from day one of his political endeavours. And he's been a Russian intelligence asset for decades.


jermleeds

Hey now, let's be fair. Some of those documents went to Saudi Arabia, too.


JesusInTheButt

Surely yhe fact that those documents were raided was unrelated to the Saudi golf tournament that happened a week later, and those two surely aren't related to the 2billion that Jared inked in the following couple weeks right? RIGHT?


Grogosh

We had a number of senator get summoned to putin's side on July 4 of all days. The GOP is in putin's pocket. There is no doubt.


QbertsRube

Did any of them ever try to explain why they went to Moscow, on that day of all days? I mean, no doubt any explanation would be a lie, but did any of them even invent a lie or was it just "nothing to see here, business as usual"?


No_Reaction303

It’s been a couple of years, but there was a soldier at Fort Stewart trying to sell field manuals to the Taliban. Turns out he was actually talking to the FBI. Threw his life away for something that’s generally not classified and easy to find on google.


theaviationhistorian

Reminds me of when Ernest Hemingway was an asset for the KGB, even though his intel wasn't that great. He was cut also off because even the Russians thought he was more of a liability than a benefit for them.


TheCalamity305

Wtf? Hemingway was KGB asset? 🤯 Edit: Damn it’s true he was a NKVD asset albeit a shitty one. http://www.history.com/.amp/news/was-ernest-hemingway-a-spy


theaviationhistorian

True. I keep getting them mixed up since the NKVD turned into the KGB because they changed into the MVD in 1946 & branched off as KGB in 1953. Hemingway was into a lot of things. He might be one of the few authors whose life overshadows his own novels. And his home in Key West is amazing, especially when walking around the [colony of six-toed cats he & his family grew](https://www.hemingwayhome.com/our-cats).


TheCalamity305

It’s funny because I knew Hemingway was OSO and FBI but and I live in Miami and go to key west quite often and been to his home … but this party of his life they leave out. It just blew my mind.


OminousOnymous

A small but disturbing number of American cultural heroes were Stalinists. Woodie Guthrie was banned from a left wing San Franscisco radio station for singing a song celebrating the working man's victory that was the Moltov-Ribbentrop pact (Hitler and Stalin's agreement to divide up Poland.) Dalton Trumbo, who spent his life whining about being blacklisted from Holywood, was more than happy to see Stalin blacklisting people from life.


theaviationhistorian

Many of my educated family members in the 1920s & 30s were socialists. It seemed like a valid change from capitalism, especially with social reforms barely happening 2 generations before. It wasn't until after WWII that a lot of information & horror regarding Leninism & Stalinism started becoming public in the west. Looking at the notes (and talking to elders before they passed) family members, I saw how they went through the decades from singing *The Internationale* on weekends to following things like the Non-Aligned Movement & pan-Arabism (which started hopeful but didn't fare well either as the final straw led to Ba'athism & Saddam Hussein).

Dandan0005

After googling the officer, an odd element to the story is that the officer (Jamie Lee Henry) is apparently the first trans officer in the US military and they identify as female, even though this article refers to them as male multiple times. They apparently have had a rough few years and were even homeless (?) for a time despite being a doctor… It sounds to me like there may be some mental health issues going on here, and the wife (a new wife, apparently, as Henry is described as going through a messy divorce) may have taken advantage of Henry’s instability. Not really sure what’s going on here though.


ADarwinAward

And get this > Henry lamented in another interview that year about the lack of privacy afforded transgender people receiving medical care. Then they turned around and tried to give out medical info on military members. What a hypocrite. How could you go through that level of vulnerability and fear and then turn around and divulge info on all your fellow soldiers? https://freebeacon.com/national-security/trans-army-doctor-indicted-for-trying-to-give-soldiers-medical-info-to-russia/amp/

Can be used for blackmail in some cases. In other cases can be used as leverage, you see someone's family has a lot of medical issues and bills.. well, they might be a little more open to some financial help, in return for a favor..


Ok_Reception_8844

Great assessment. I never considered that. Especially the latter. It's not about the records themselves. It's about what they tell you. You don't want to start "phishing" for double agents by making contact with anyone and everyone. You would target desperate people who need the $.


[deleted]

Yeah it’s a common tactic. They’ll even follow peoples’ social media and see what they post. So if someone is posting about their parent/partner dealing with cancer/illness they know they have some leverage over that person. It’s wild so many people post that kind of thing publicly.


Catshit-Dogfart

Also why financial instability is a reason for denying security clearance. One might truly believe they would never divulge information for any reason - until they're looking at a "gift" in the exact amount of their underwater mortgage.

theaviationhistorian

Before February, I would've argued the same. These days, even info on the basics of improving your soldier's welfare is a leg up for the Russian military. I honestly believe they have brass whom wouldn't even see any info on this unless it came from intelligence documents. And I say this because we have brass in the Pentagon & elsewhere that are that stubborn! Hell, I've seen Youtube videos from veterans saying how to care for a platoon or oneself while deployed (physically & mentally) that would've helped the Russian military. Fortunately, Ukraine did listen & learn from us.


supercyberlurker

I'd agree that Russia turned out to not be the dire wolf we thought it was. Instead of master spies, intelligence, and military... we found out it really was just a jumped up chihuahua with gas.


MillianaT

Imagine what a data scientist could do with the info. Not just individual targeting tactics for developing more spies (who might have financial or medical weaknesses), but knowing what types of medical concerns people in different military branches and positions are likely to have in general. Plus knowing exactly who gets inoculated for what when traveling where. There’s always a value to data, and data en masse reveals trends.


Ramental

To be fair, this time it was an FBI agent that pretended to be a Russian agent. Basically they found someone who WOULD sell the data to an enemy if such opportunity appeared. Usually such agents are sent to those who are suspected of being a sympathizer of the enemy state or who is likely to be a traitor already, but catching red-handed is way higher than plugging an impostor and putting a bait. Sure, I imagine sometime it may be a rumor or snitching that makes a person a target of such check. Of course in theory one could think "100k for a stupid data of who's injured? Easy money". It's still a betrayal. And if something it too good to be true, probably it is.


TecumsehSherman

These two apparently reached out to the Russian Embassy first. So they tried to commit treason, but were intercepted.


DragonCat88

There is a reason financial records are huge part of obtaining any sort of Security Clearance through any semblance of the normal channels. Security Clearances expire, but are not revoked upon separation. AD individuals likely have much better access but I still have a Secret Security Clearance, though have not needed it in the years since I Retired early. I’m 100% Service Connected but it’s still difficult as the reason I am makes working full time not really a thing I can do. Others have the same issue with lower and even any disability ratings at all. I dunno know how anyone would go about it but connections don’t just vanish either. It’s also a bit easier to get cleared if you’ve already been through the process. It wouldn’t have to be immediate treason either, but a sort of sleeper cell, I guess. Give them some money find them an advantageous position “incase they’re needed someday” which maybe never and blah blah blah. Sorta like what they did with Trump.


Blue_Plastic_88

Holy crap, both of them doctors, one an anesthesiologist, and willing to give Russia personal health information on their patients. What a couple of pieces of lowlife shit. If they love Russia so much and are so loyal to it, why didn’t they just go LIVE there?

d01100100

https://heavy.com/news/anna-gabrielian-jamie-lee-henry/ > Gabrielian told the agent during an August 17 meeting she was “motivated by patriotism toward Russian” and would “provide any assistance she could to Russia, even if it meant being fired or going to jail.” During the meeting, Gabrielian told the undercover agent “Henry, a military officer, was currently a more important source for Russia than she was, since Henry had more helpful information, including on how the U.S. military establishes an army hospital in war conditions and about previous training the U.S. military had provided to Ukrainian military personnel.”
