secret service and say they've been on the tail of the russian agents for almost a decade why did it take so much time for them to bust the spy ring it's been described by many experts as amateur. secret services get signs that certain individuals may be suspected of being involved in unacceptable activities such as intelligence work deploying an entire range of operational tools at their disposal. it's in order to determine whether these individuals are really able to damage the national security of the country where they are stationed they don't just have to determine that such activities were performed they have to recall these facts in order to present them to the relevant judicial authorities proving someone is a spy isn't an easy task in any case intelligence doesn't decide this report to higher state officials. anywhere it's a complicated process but ten years isn't that. indeed it may be a little bit too much but there's another thing we're dealing with i call it the paradox and drama of intelligence when intelligence receives an assignment it all happens in a particular sett

assignment it all happens in a particular setting a particular political situation while the secret service is doing its work the setting can change on the political level those who assigned the task may now have completely different relations with the country involved therefore even though the secret service did manage to prove something the political landscape requires a different attitude and a different implementation of these data let's use iraq as an example the cia knew for sure that saddam hussein's regime didn't own weapons of mass destruction but they received an assignment from higher political state authorities to provide the documents proving otherwise therefore they started working to obtain such data even though they knew it wasn't anywhere to be found nonetheless in the course of this work and in which of saddam hussein as the national and then the international enemy was used to fulfill higher political tasks but when it all happened and they realized there really was no weapons of mass destruction the secret service was betrayed the guilty party initiating the entire searc

to address this vital responsibility, secret service must anticipate, recognize and assess threat situations and initiate strategies to eliminate or reduce the threats or security vulnerabilities. key components to the services' protection mission is securing the buildings and grounds where protectees work or visit. from the white house to a hotel ballroom, the secret service must provide a secure environment for the president and other protectees. h.r. 2780 ensures that the secret service has the ability to secure all necessary areas surrounding the restricted buildings and grounds that house our leaders, their families and foreign heads of state. the bill clarifies section 1752 of title 18 which sets penalties for knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without the lawful authority to do. so currently written, the code does not distinguish between those who are there lawfully such as secret service agents and other authorized staff and those who are there without permission. this bill does not create any new authorities for the secret service and does not rest

the the russian political secret service so he was there for a purpose he was sent in to inforce clan. on the first nice asian to really make the root regime there a very strict prison regime and effectively to prepare for what was now an increasing venture as he was that they might have to kill the family because the white and the counter revolutionary forces were working their way east from blood of our stock right in far the far west of russia working their way back to walk along a trance iberian rare way towards a culture which was then a focal point on the railway line amongst the gods was there anything lang that they weren't going to go through with it yes absolutely just before they came to kill the family you're asking was issuing orders about who was supposed to kill whom they were all given an individual target and some of the guards immediately said we will not kill the girls and the number of killers in the end was reduced because of that and in fact the ultimate solution was pushing all in a room and and killing them all together but that turned into a bloodbath didn't i

therefore even though it's secret service. did manage to prove something the political landscape requires a different attitude and a different implementation because data let's use iraq as an example the cia knew for sure that saddam hussein's regime and didn't own weapons of mass destruction were they received an assignment from political state authorities to provide the talking us proving otherwise and therefore they started working to date or even though they tell you it wasn't anywhere to be found nonetheless in the course of this work and in which of saddam hussein as the national and then the international enemy was used to fulfill higher political tasks but when it all happened and they realized there really was no weapons of mass destruction the secret service was betrayed the guilty party initiating the entire search for proof and they were punished for it too. and you can see the full interview with how the agony they today carried out. and they saw in for a special report in the early twentieth century a train with
