A publicly avowed anti-communist would be a great cover for a Soviet spy.

Hmmmm....how about real commies like Alger Hiss, Klaus Fuchs, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, or Barack Obama

OK, so a Soviet agent had Kristol’s address. What was the context? Why did he have it?

Looks like the FBI was doing their job and didn’t find anything improper.

I think it has been public information for a long time that the Kristol’s were avowed Communists before becoming neo-conservatives.

Delaware just elected a flaming communist as Senator..
He is not alone..

The Democrat Socialist Caucus are all communists and/or socialists..
OH!...... Communism "IS" socialism... in case you didnt know..

[hosepipe]

To even Be a democrat makes you a socialist or enabler of them..

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Wacko conspiracy spin from the Buchananite anti-Semites.

[Oztrich Boy]

the FBI’s counterintelligence division

Alarmingly apt name

[peggybac]

That’s Bill’s daddy. Interesting...

[FTJM]

This is a Gawker hit piece to go after Bill Kristol. Red meat for those that don’t like him.

[danielmryan]

The Soviet archives would settle this once and for all.

Just as it did for McCarthy's targets...

I am sure that that KGB agent had the names of quite a number of Americans who the agent had sought out, tried to befriend, tried to become an acquaintance of, who, each of them, may never have been spies for that agent or even offered anything useful to them. That does not mean the agent didn’t try; nor does it mean every “contact” meant “success” in any way to his mission.

Intellectuals and academics, because they influence others and work with those who can influence government policy, or are in contact with peers in government, are always targets of the KGB/GRU. Nothing new there.
