And they made a movie called ‘Breach’.
Imagine having to keep a straight face while your superior tells you in detail about their suspicion of there being a mole and giving you the task to hunt it down, while you’re actually the mole yourself.
Hmm… this seems to be his mugshot… so he must have been caught… therefore, did he catch himself… did he get any reward/recognition for catching himself…
So something like “The Departed”
The doco of him is sickening. His wife should be allowed to kick him, repeatedly in the head for what he did. And his “best mate”
How did they not know he was the mole , he literally looks like a mole.
I knew as soon as I saw the turtle neck.
The turtical neck…..
And the US has been perfect since then about keeping Russian assets out of the government, especially the highest office of the land./s
Next year, half of the US cabinet members will be spying for Russia. Nothing will be done.
22 years ADX Florence in solitary. Pure hell.
There’s always 2 moles
There’s a movie based on what he did, it stared Ryan Phillippe. It was called “Breach”
The guy is currently chilling in what is basically a concrete box right now.
I used to work with the guy who caught him. You couldn’t have a conversation with the man without it being brought up, posters of the movie in his office, it was his entire persona.
There’s a podcast called “Agent of Betrayal” on Spotify about Hanssen. It’s an interesting listen with interviews from his former coworker at the FBI and friends.
Now he lives on as Pedro Pascale
He was kind of a weird dude, we should’ve not hired him, loved sniffing liquid paper.
They eventually caught him because of his racism. In one of the notes the FBI had intercepted, the mole had mentioned the phrase “purple-pissing Japanese”. One of the people investigating remembered that Hanssen had previously used that same phrase as well. They listened to some tapes of the mole speaking to their handler again and realized it was Hanssen’s voice.
Ahh, back when treason had consequences!

worst traitor since benedict arnold?
He wasn’t a political traitor working for the KGB. He was a stalwart Christian in public while finding his bliss lavishing Soviet bribes on American strippers. His character flaw wasn’t treachery toward the American dream. His character flaw was that he wallowed in that dream at the easiest available opportunity.
Dtfffdr
What a piece of shit. He died in June.
No Way Out w kevin costner had plot just like this. What a great movie!
I know where his ashes are.
Misleading title. Plenty of books with actual story.
You can’t make this shit up 😂

Noice.
When i hear ‘Hansen’
Sounds like the plot to a Philip K. Dick story, just without the drugs and existential crises.
Let me guess – he’s now in Trump’s transition team?
He looks Russian af, how did the FBI not notice that
“The Americans”
Is he the one who got caught coz of ‘ purple pissing japs’
He was also a hypocritical perv. Put on a show about being a pious Catholic but secretly took live videos of his wife and he having sex so his friend could watch. Like really fucked up stuff.
How did they find out it was him then?
I didn’t know what a mole is in this context and it was hilarious for a moment.
