It’s not just our enemies who are spying on our presidential race. The top counterintelligence threats in D.C. come from Russia, China, and Cuba (Iran has a tough time due to their lack of an embassy), but friends such as Israel are always spying too. Allies also want to know what’s happening behind the scenes with Biden and Trump. There are no friendly foreign intelligence services, per the venerable spy mantra (although the Anglosphere’s “Five Eyes” partners constitute a broad exception). Even close allies are attempting to steal inside information all around D.C.
Since multiple intelligence agencies are spying on the White House nonstop, recruiting agents, and reading “private” communications, some intelligence services knew about Biden’s age-related health problems years ago. A senior spy from a friendly country recently told me that his agency knew in the first year of Biden’s presidency, only months after his inauguration, that the president wasn’t capable of working in a full-time manner. If one spy service knew, we should assume that many others did. The massive cover-up orchestrated by the White House and Democrats, in collusion with their media wing, succeeded only in deceiving Americans for over three years. Democrat disinformation about Biden’s condition didn’t fool the intelligence professionals. ...
It’s a safe bet that the Republican National Convention, which just concluded in Milwaukee, had foreign spies from many countries working the event. They were likely buying drinks for staffers, slinging gossip to get some in return, and perhaps even installing bugs and wiretaps as discreetly as possible. The same will happen in Chicago when the Democrats hold their convention in a few weeks.
