#1 I was part of a five-person crew that broke into a bank in 2001. We had carefully chosen the timing of the operation, as it was during the day when tourists and students were present, and we were least likely to be noticed.

#2 The manager let us into the bank’s safety deposit box vault, where we searched for a box rented by Don Heathfield and Tracey Lee Ann Foley. We didn’t have the second key, so our locksmith had to file down a blank key to make it fit.

#3 The FBI has a team of agents who are known as Flaps and Seals. Their mission is to open a sealed envelope, crack open a shipping container, bypass the alarm system in a locked home, and leave no trace.

#4 The team found a small stack of 35mm black-and-white photo negative strips, about 20 frames or so, that had been taken by Don and Ann. They were photos of a young woman posing in a forest.

I was part of a five-person crew that broke into a bank in 2001. We had carefully chosen the timing of the operation, as it was during the day when tourists and students were present, and we were least likely to be noticed.

#5

Understanding the FBI’s work in counterintelligence, which is known as CI within the American intelligence community, means understanding intelligence. Intelligence is the conveyance of a strategic advantage by a country’s clandestine activities.

#6

The FBI is a Janus-like entity with both intelligence and law enforcement roles. We want to stop spies like Don and Ann, but we also might have to bring them to a judge in handcuffs or prove to a jury that they violated United States law.

#7

The FBI and CIA both collect intelligence, but they use different terms to refer to it. FBI agents and CIA officers are a small component of the people involved in gathering human intelligence. The bulk of collection is done by sources recruited by agents.

#8

The FBI has many tools to use against threats, from traditional counterintelligence against so-called symmetric threat activity to asymmetric threats outside that definition. Offensive counterintelligence is effective and devious.

#9

Counterintelligence work is murky, and hardly ever ends with clear conclusions. It means that sometimes agents know enough to be confident that something happened but do not have enough unclassified or admissible evidence to prosecute it criminally.

#10

The US became the Main Enemy after the Germany/ USSR alliance collapsed, and the two countries began competing with each other, both politically and economically. While the US turned its attention to the new challenges of leadership, the Russian superpower quietly kept its spy games going.

#11

The two KGB officers, Donald Heathfield and Tracey Lee Ann Foley, were dead doubles. They had been assigned the identities of two long-dead children, and they had pledged their lives to Russia.

#12

As the world changed around them, Andrey and Elena continued to build a life together in Canada, while also gathering information on American life and sending it back to Center.

#13

The FBI was able to crack the code by listening to the broadcasts and noting which lights in which rooms were turned on. They were able to figure out that
