Former FBI official says Russian, Chinese, and Iranian spies could have tried to infiltrate Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence

A former FBI agent said it is likely that foreign agents from Russia and China tried to infiltrate former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence, considering the top-secret documents that were being kept there.

Peter Strzok, who was once deputy director of the FBI's counterintelligence division made the observation while speaking to MSNBC host Katie Phang on Sunday.

He was fired from the agency for sending anti-Trump text messages on his work phone. In return Trump has frequently attacked him and claimed he is an example of state employees being biased against him.

During the show, Phang asked Strzok if he thought it was likely that Russia had "tried to infiltrate" Mar-a-Lago to obtain classified data. Phang had been referring to the classified documents that Trump had stored at his Florida home, which were seized during the FBI's raid on the property earlier this month.

to understand that a Russian, Chinese or Iranian spy doesn't have to look like what we think of when describing a Russian, Chinese or Iranian person. They can look and sound completely like a typical Anglo-American. We also can't leave out our "friends" the Israelis. Remember Pollard. India, Pakistan and the Saudis shouldn't be left off the list either.
