The Russian intelligence services have become incredibly corrupt. One former FSB officer I spoke to compared it to Game of Thrones. He said there was constant infighting, constant rivalry and that's going to affect the work of an intelligence service. We see in other FSB divisions, there's something called the fourth service. This is a division responsible for economic security,. And this is an opportunity to basically skim off huge amounts of money.
The former president may well ignore the January 6th committee’s summons; the whole affair may be unceremoniously shut down next year. But that is not to say the process has been in vain. Russia’s
intelligence failures during the war in Ukraine have taken the shine off the security services’ fearsome reputations. And remembering
Loretta Lynn, country music’s most-successful-ever female star.
