He was pure evil and I get tired of hearing urbane people making excuses for the evil acts of people. He betrayed his wife, family, coworkers and nation in the worst way possible. His actions led to the horrible deaths of several people who also had families. That is evil! Plain and simple.
agree. I don't have inherent loyalty to the US but if you take an oath and defy it you better have a good reason. His reasoning was more akin to a serial killer.
You are right, but if you think it cant get worse, there were important people in CIA and FBI that could have prevented something like 9 / 11 to happen and other terrorists attack around the world years before, only because of their arrogance. Check tbe video: Frontline - the man who knew
Agreed. As a Roman catholic I often wondered how he managed to reconcile his faith with his actions. He has already faced justice from the United states. He has had considerable time to ponder his ultimate reckoning. As the idiom goes, God only knows. To your suggestion, I plan on renting it tonight. Thanks for the inspiration.
This guy was so hated by the FBI/DOJ that they made sure he spent the rest of his life in sheer misery. Just for perspective, the typical inmate spends a maximum of 3 years there because of how harsh it is. He was there for over 20 years. The special housing unit of the ADX supermax walks a very thin line between incarceration and psychological torture.
He had 15 consecutive life sentences and was on lockdown for 23 hours a day. They made sure he never got out and he suffered as much as they could legally allow but given the level of betrayal and all the people who were killed because of his actions, it fits. Don't feel sorry for him at all.
He's in purgatory. Obviously he was a devout religious man that had severe mental illnesses created partially by his upbringing from his abusive father.
I couldn't understand why this old feed was in my RUclips, until I found out that he just passed away a few days ago! I don't think he could ever be understood!
He got life at the Alcatraz of the Rockies in Florence, Colorado where he rotted until his recent death. What a horrible person he was. His abusive father played a role in the production of this creep.
@deoglemnaco7025 I know right ? Hanssen was a good guy, he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I truly believed he was blackmailed by the Russians, and after the first meeting he was compromised and they had him. Coercive Control.
Hanssen functioned when people like Tucker Carlson would be rejected by patriots. There's little hope if people such as him and Marjorie Traitor Greene can be so open.
They figured out Hansen from a Patton quote used in the voice recordings. A coworker recognized Hansen using the same quote, then he was voice-matched and caught. He surely would have gone unnoticed for longer if it wasn't for that.
I've never seen an incident where a black person ever sold America's secret, so either blacks are not hired for these positions, because they are thought to be the ones inclined to steal and sell US secrets, and white males are hired for the opposite reason, because it's taken for granted that since they are "one of us," they are trusted and never suspected, and so given a lot of leeway which allows them to steal secrets out in the open. Hire blacks for these positions and the scrutiny and oversight would be so intense that even if any of them even just THOUGHT about selling secrets, they would be fired from the agency. Reminds of me what Serena Williams had to go through when she had to submit to random drug testing even when she was at home, while her white peers were never as heavily scrutinized, so may have gotten away with using performance enhancement drugs.
The smiles and laughter as they discuss this traitor is reprehensible. Maybe if it was your loved one who was executed because of him, you wouldn't laugh.
The way the US Media turns everything into a 3-ring circus entertainment event. And what motivated their diligent research? And upcoming made for TV movie?
It is amazing how long he went undetected. I am glad he was eventually caught but the damage he did was unprecedented. Was there anyone or anything he didn’t betray. Wow man…
You can thank then and now the INEPT FBI and CIA. Both are CORRUPT. NEITHER CAN BE TRUSTED. Both of them are "OWNED" by Soros, Obama, and the liberal "WOKE" factions, especially the media.
That's because our government is evil and they're in on it. He obviously became a risk and they ostracized him and labeled him a bad guy with their state propaganda machine that we call mainstream media
The important thing was he was caught, red-handed. Good Riddance; Trump should’ve been in a cell next to him, for crimes against the nation and humanity.
Look, the FBI and CIA never clean out their own closets or investigate their own people because they are so busy snooping on innocent bystanders. Both organizations have long histories of ignoring the garbage in their midst rather than investigating it and cleaning it. So long as they can keep the preppie good boy look or Sunday School kid look to the public, that's all that matters.
I just found this story. I had a brief encounter with Hansen when he was at the FBI training “farm”. I was a musician playing at the Springfield Holiday Inn and he was working part-time as a bartender for a while. He made it no secret that he was going to be an agent one day, and was studying Russian. One night I went up to the bar and asked him for a glass of water in Russian. I had looked up how to say that from a travel book that I have. On my next break he confronted me as I was coming out of the bathroom in a fairly dark hallway. He was a pretty tall guy and he just stood there waiting for me, and asked me bluntly how I knew Russian. I told him that I really didn’t, and I had just looked it up to prank him. I only saw him a couple of times after that.
Wow! I never saw this episode. I am absolutely perplexed by this man’s actions. I always wonder what his father saw in him that no one else could detect? His father called him a loser. However, everyone else had no (major) issues with him. He was a FBI leader, the Federal Bureau of Investigation! Like…whoa! No one detected such craziness in this man.
I wouldn't say no one else had issues with him besides his father. Read the government's investigative report. His job performance at the FBI was considered average. Because of that, and because of his lack of people and leadership skills, he was never put on a "promotion track" within the FBI for positions in leadership.
The question about writing erotica was weird. Why is it taken for granted that this was a red flag? You can't really even make a case for blackmail since he was doing it in his own name.
And his wife didn’t deserve his pension, either. She still loved him after everything came out, and even forgave him. She’s as sick as he was with the same level of morals: none. His pension should’ve been given to the families of his victims.
This shows how incompetent the FBI was and how we the people need to overhaul the intelligence community by requiring all people under the pressure of covert operations to be evaluated by a highly qualified psychiatrist and to be under continous evaluation with no lone person operations or access.
He’s kind of like the embodiment of the Catholic Church. I’d be curious of his childhood and whether he spent a lot of time with any particular priest or priests.
I read "The Spy Next Door" when i was in 9th grade which detailed his life. In the book (and this was literally 20 years ago when i read it) it said that when he was a kid, him and his friend played baseball after school. His friend got hit in the head by a baseball and afterwards they went to Robert's home. Robert's friend then asked if he could use the bathroom. Minutes went by and he didn't come out. Robert then went into bathroom only to discover his friend lying on the ground dead. In the book it suggested that this moment in Robert's life had a profound effect.
I wouldn't say it's just Catholics, all of conservative Christians are hypocritical, they have this ridiculously high moral standard, for everyone but themselves.
I notice you didn't mention the public school employees that prey on children. And they outnumber the priests that did it by 17 to 1. Look at the National Education Association's public data, don't take my word for it. Teachers, sports coaches, janitors... the elephant in the room.
He did it because it was fun. He was smarter than everyone. He fooled everyone with systematic consistency. He said if i can't be the hero, i will be the villain. One who is respected by all. Petty.
Hansen's motives are very hard to divine. He appears to have wanted to prove how clever he was to himself. By committing the worst offense in connection with his job, he proved his own capability to himself. He also appears to have got off on the risk.
This is a silly little segment that lacks much substantive information (the FilmRise True Crime doc about Hanssen is much better: ruclips.net/video/vSZesZZaRVA/видео.html).
In 2001 I couldn't find a state that would give me bipolar and add meds. All the doctors called me the R word and basically Said "good luck" We went through 3 states looking for a doctor/psychiatrist No wonder the middle aged and elderly crapped on peoples sexual preferences That was also their go to Racism and bigotry from people that should know better
These guys seem as sick as Hanssen- like fanboys. No way he "loved"his wife and betrayed her in such a voluntary way. he seems like a terrible, narcissistic, cruel person- not a complex superhero. dangling money in front of desperate dancers to convert them...is that amazing?
Robert Hanssen is called the epitome of an amoral person. Makes me wonder about that guy who makes headlines lately about mishandeling classified stuff...
He was a spy for 22 years gave them. All classified classified very important information. And in the end, all he got was 600 grand to me. It is insane to risk life imprisonment for just 600 grand.
It’s strange, but I’m bothered more by the things he did to his wife than the damaged he caused with his espionage. And I think that’s because I could have believed the espionage was a matter of ideologies. I can respect a man of principles, even if they are ones I disagree with. But recording the things he did with his wife was unequivocally evil. It tells me he had no principles, he simply did what he wanted.
I am a scientist who works with galaxies and stars and other things you wouldn’t understand. In the grand scheme of things in the universe, this means absolutely nothing.
Because of the law of the church the church’s hands were tied. Because of the separation between church and state, *everything* told in confidentiality stays confidential. This isn’t just the Catholic Church, it’s all churches and other places of worship.
I don't have a problem with the fact that he spied against the US government, by itself - the FBI and CIA are not forces of good, and there are noble reasons to oppose them. However, Hansen didn't do the things he did out of moral conviction - he probably legimitately believed the FBI/CIA were "the good guys" - but he didn't care. His only concern was personal and financial gain. So, I guess I basically feel indifferent to him. Neither hated nor felt sorry for him.
It’s not like he exposed the US government for actions that harm the people of the US. He gave the information to the Soviets who are unambiguously evil. So yes, he was an evil man - you’re wrong.

He was at SuperMax ADX in Florence, Colorado. In a 7x12ft cell, 23 hours each day with no human contact. 15 consecutive life sentences well deserved.

Given the level of betrayal, it sounds appropriate.
To begin with he was tasked with finding the mole (himself).
