Now that it has been proven that Obama, et al, spied on the other political party, it behooves a spotlighting of earlier events that involved spies and the Democrat Party.
1.There is no disputing that Franklin Roosevelt ran an administration that not only had Soviet spies….but one that welcomed them.
Alger Hiss, when FDR was appraised he was Stalin’s spy….promoted him!
Now…there are spies who pass secrets to the other side, but the most dangerous are the ones who an actually set government policy.
Two come to mind….Harry Hopkins, who actually lived in Roosevelt’s White House…and Harry Dexter White who ran the Treasury Department.
Henry Morgenthau was in charge…..but White, the most intelligent man in Roosevelt’s entire government, ran it.
And he instituted a number of anti-America, pro-Soviet policies.
2.” He was an official of the Treasury Department who later became the architect of the post-war Bretton Woods system, a new global monetary system that would become the basis of the international capitalist marketplace in a new era. Now, in a new book, Benn Steil -- a Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations -- deals with White’s activities as a Soviet spy….found evidence in the Venona papers and Alexander Vassiliev’s KGB papers of White’s espionage,…
…he was on the same wavelength as his friend Henry A. Wallace, who had said he would appoint White to the Cabinet if he was to become president.
3. … the New Deal administration was heavily penetrated by Soviet spies, many of them American citizens who were working for Stalin’s intelligence agencies.
The most well-known, of course, is Alger Hiss. But he was merely the tip of the iceberg.
4. White …from the 1930s on “acted as a Soviet mole, giving the Soviets secret information and advice on how to negotiate with the Roosevelt administration and advocating for them during internal policy debates.” Steil goes so far as to argue that White “was arguably more important to Soviet intelligence than Alger Hiss.”
5. Steil has found what he sees as a smoking gun: “An unpublished handwritten essay on yellow-lined notepaper” among White’s scribblings in the White archives, one that other scholars missed. As Steil describes the essay, it foresaw “a postwar world in which the Soviet socialist model … would be ascendant.”
(FDR's view, as well.)
…he saw himself as an advocate of the Soviet system. He quotes him as writing: “Russia is the first instance of a socialist economy in action. And it works!”
6.White wrote: “In every case the change will be in the direction of increased [government] control over industry, and increased restrictions on the operations of competition and free enterprise.” White also was not too concerned about the Soviet Union’s repressive system, believing that “the trend in Russia seems to be toward greater freedom of religion,” which he said was guaranteed by the Soviet Constitution. He also thought that its foreign policy was “not actively supporting [revolutionary] movements in other countries.”

Why wouldn't Obama, Lynch, Comey, Brennan, and Clapper be open to using spies.....they learned from the history of their party.
