"The Spy Factory, an episode of the PBS series Nova, included segments of interviews with Rossini, who described his experience serving as one of the two FBI liaisons to the CIA's Bin Laden Issue Station, an inter-agency team assigned to track Osama bin Laden..."
"Rossini described being aware in January 2000 that two al-Qaeda members, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar, had valid US visas. However, a CIA employee, Michael Anne Casey, reportedly stopped him from passing the information to FBI headquarters..."
"Rossini knew that if he reported this information to his FBI colleagues he would be breaking the law. The two men turned out to be hijackers of American Airlines flight 77 on 9/11."
"Mark T. Rossini, a former Supervisory Special Agent of the FBI, was sentenced today to one-year of probation after previously pleading guilty to five separate counts of criminally accessing a sensitive FBI database for personal purposes."
"According to the indictment, from December 2019 thru June 2020, then-Governor of Puerto Rico Wanda Vazquez Garced allegedly engaged in a bribery scheme with Julio Martin Herrera Velutini, Frances Diaz, Mark Rossini, and John Blakeman."
MT @ScottMStedman: "Richard Frankel, Mark Rossini, and Charles McGonigal all held senior FBI positions before going to the private sector and working for Russian oligarchs including Oleg Deripaska and Dmitry Rybolovlev." #soriano
"Additionally, [CARTER] PAGE referenced the 9/11 Commission Report conclusion, which stated that the FBI and CIA did not share information, and work together. PAGE intimated that the allegations of Russian influence are a repeat of the USIC failures leading to the 9/11 attacks."
"As a senior FBI counterintelligence official, McGonigal had access to an extraordinary amount of sensitive information, potentially including investigations of foreign spies or U.S. citizens suspected of working on behalf of foreign governments."
"McGonigal’s FBI role gave him access to classified information, including a then-secret list of Russian prospects for sanctioning by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. That list included Deripaska before the sanctions were actually imposed."
"McGonigal was an expert on Russian intelligence activities targeting the United States, as well as U.S. efforts to recruit Russian spies."
"Millian had reason to be aware of the investigation generally and that he might have been a focus of the investigation. Indeed, Millian was aware that he 'came under the FBI’s radar' at least as early as on November 2, 2016. See SSCI Report Vol 5 @ 508."
"On February 4, 2014, an audio recording of a phone call between Geoffrey Pyatt and Victoria Nuland appeared on YouTube. On February 5, 2014, an aide to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin tweeted a YouTube link to the audio of the call.[508]"
"Hosseini was shown a covert communications system he could use to reach his handlers: a rudimentary Persian-language soccer news website called Iraniangoals[.]com. Entering a password into the search bar caused a secret messaging window to pop up, allowing contact with the CIA."
"Iraniangoals[.]com was one of hundreds of websites mass-produced by the CIA to give to its sources. These rudimentary sites were devoted to topics such as beauty, fitness and entertainment, among them a Star Wars fan page and another for American talk show host Johnny Carson."
"I got there very late. They showed me my room. Slowly, all the sounds just kind of faded away. At the end of then night, it was just me, alone in the living room. I heard this door open from the far end of the mansion, and intuitively I just knew that was John." #mcafee#foster
"He sat down. I asked him this question about Belize. He was very cooperative. He told me everything. Told me things that weren't even in the public domain. Like, he was wiretapping people. He was using keystroke software." #mcafee#foster
"John told me that he had created software which enabled him to spy on anyone in the world. The CIA. FBI. The KGB. NSA. Even the White House. Everyone." #mcafee#foster
"For years, Russian spies in Germany have contacted the headquarters in Moscow via YouTube. Shortly after their release, new videos surfaced. t-online[.]de followed the trail."
"Is it a side joke? An accident? Targeted disinformation? Or did Russian spies try to transmit encrypted messages shortly after their release from prison in Germany? During research, t-online[.]de came across videos that pose puzzles."
