It's amazing that an organization can intercept high quality audio surveillance from space but a museum can't replicate what a simple Amazon sourced microphone can do from 3 feet away.
Sandy has the PERFECT personality for working with many groups/individuals...and has a VERY high IQ....she is so good at her job that she can poke fun at herself and the CIA...
At 33:35 the audio becomes impossible to understand. Have followed this story and am disappointed I have missed what they experienced during that time.
Ames starting getting people killed in 1985, if not sooner. He was arrested in 1994. I cannot figure out when he came back from Italy -- she said it was the early 1990s? How many people had access to all of the case files of the agents he had killed? I just cannot understand why they didn't catch him sooner -- he was sloppy and extremely careless -- he was buying houses for $500,000 cash and Jaguars for cash . . . and supposedly he was dirt poor. Why was he so poor? Imagine the damage he did our country over those 9 years (he may have started earlier.) After the first agents were killed -- why did they allow him to kill at least 8 more? There may be good reasons, but they aren't giving us any in their video, or in Sandy's other video I watched. Why did they assign a junior and inexperienced person to run this "Catch the Mole" operation on the FBI side and a woman who didn't even have an office to run it on the CIA side? Wasn't this the single most important operation at that time? Why did the first FBI report NOT report that Ames was the mole, even though Jeanne and her team had decided he was? How come they aren't talking about this? Doesn't it seem like someone -- very high up -- was doing everything possible to protect Ames and sabotage this operation? (Maybe the same person or people who also protected Hansen for 20 years?)
He got away with it for so long because he had help from the KGB. Edit: and the reason why they had someone lower on the totem pole investigate him is pretty self explanatory. Despite what you’ve read Ames was no idiot he was a master spy if he was as incompetent as he’s made out to be how could he have done so much damage? Or why would the KGB bother recruiting & employing him? They knew who was who and wouldn’t bother with a dunce.
@@TheListOf If only! Not with that psychopath -- whatshername -- Gina Haspel? at the helm -- she watches torture for sport! (FACT, from an eye witness at Gitmo.)
@@Tommy2shoe811 -- I am not so sure -- The Russians had nothing to lose by working with a dunce -- as long as he kept giving them good intel. If he got himself caught it was not hurting them at all. A master spy would not be buying expensive houses and cars for cash with no visible means of income. There have been hundreds of master spies -- they are the ones we don't know about. ;-) How COULD he have done so much damage -- and he just one of many who operated for 20 years, leaving red flags all over the place . . .there was Hansen at the FBI, and others . . . either the agencies are beyond incompetent, and I assume they are, and/or they are infiltrated (or were) at the top and these double agents were permitted to keep working with Russians. Because various people came forward, in both cases, through the years --voicing their concerns, but they were always ignored, With the lives of our covert agents at risk, and our top-classified secret -- why and how could these concerns e ignored --why would they not at least be looked into? If that had been done, they would have uncovered more suspicious activity and caught these people. FDR had Russian agents working with him, right in the White House . . .our government has always been infiltrated, and probably still is. It just annoys me when all these people write their books and brag about catching them -- 20 YEARS later! After so many of our agents were exposed and killed and secrets were given away! They should be writing books about what fools they are, not what heroes they are. Except for that one really young newbie guy who helped catch Hansen -- he has an excuse because he was a brand new agent and he did a good job.
Great presentation, mics need to be much closer to speakers to capture audio properly. Perhaps lapel mics would have been better or have speakers sit closer to mics. Appreciate these presentations outside of this challenge.
All deposits to banks in U.S. are covered by the FDIC. The Internal Revenue Service can monitor any bank account and deposits regardless of amount at will and without bank's consent.
I haven’t heard the possible set up of Ames by his new wife who came from the Columbia embassy as a trophy wife who encouraged his ability to obtain great compensation by feeding the KGB inside CIA information which he had great knowledge of CIA assets within the highest level of the Soviet Union. What was her connection to Russian operatives???
Who notified Aimes about all the Russian assets and did he have a right and the need to know about each and every one of them in is line of work and what' information did he need. Was there an offering of surplus information. Was the CIA sloppy in offering the links to Aimes?
The audio mix goes bad at 33:03 about, the actual mic closest to the female speaker cuts out completely and the capture is from a camera mounted shotgun or some other far away mic, hard to say which but it's not capturing the mic closest to her anymore. You can hear the difference plain as day. Whomever was shooting this or his/her audio guy/gal screwed the pooch there. Could be the cable fell out or something else but something obviously bad happened, it would have been immediately detectable looking at the mixer audio level indicators. A lot of it should have been fixable to a good degree in post running some filters(NR) first and then compression on the capture. Why was this not done? I can understand the lack of a separate recorder on the table to a degree since it is a live event primarily - but a lot of this would have been fixable in post for the upload. The Oops seems corrected 39:14, but it really *should* have been caught before then. Someone should be wearing headphones playing the mix that is being captured. I'll shut my virtual pizzatrap about it but yeah, considering the subject I do find it sloppy to have left it like this. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate it being here to watch, I just think it could have and still can be fixed or made a lot more intelligible than it is now. Even without any additional recording tracks than what is in the uploaded video as-is.
Definitely some audio issues. Mics should be closer and or tuned better. Some echo as well, audio technician needs better training or equipment. Outside of that, great presentation.
Love your interviews. I've watched several now. However, for the love of God, get new chairs for your guests. I'm sure the red chairs seemed like a good idea in terms of style and aesthetics, but once in use, it becomes clear they are not working well. Your guests look so uncomfortable, particularly the women. Audio seems to be a consistent problem. Wireless lavs might be a good option. Additionally, there seems to be no effort to match the color between the two cameras. Again, your guests are wonderful. With a few adjustments, you can up your production value to match the quality of your guests.
I believe that this story of diligent counter-espionage should never be told, better that like Mossad, the GRU and the IRB , let silence be their eulogy .
Aimes wasn't "dirt poor" his wife is filthy rich and their kid had the best education that money affords. He lost his liberty but not his assets. The audio was censored and over dubbed in places to prevent the truth from going public, the few in the audience heard the unfiltered truth.
one thing that comes to mind, after listening to the "built bridges" and the trust between the people of the Agencies, why didn't that work on 9-11 ???
Why were the reports from Army radar operators in Hawaii dismissed on 12-7-41? Why were all the aircraft at Hickham Field gathered right in one big cluster? Why were all the battleships parked in Pearl Harbor?
Because Israeli intelligence wanted America to be fired up against the Middle East so they let 9/11 happen. It's no conspiracy, either, it's pretty easy to verify they knew and allowed it to be carried out. Why didn't they tell us? They have one of the most "successful" intelligence gathering operations, but only when it's beneficial to them. Google Dancing Israelis, they were here to capture the attack of video. Disgusting
Is the lesson here pay your employees a decent wage..so they are not tempted to betray their organisation? Why did Rick live in a dump, not through choice.
To assume that you can " buy " someone's loyalty with the right kind of salary or perks is extremely naive. You're " supposed " to love your country- why should you be " given " anything not to run " to the other side "? I can say for sure that the fact that Uncle Joe, Aunt Nancy and their clowns are behaving like the corrupt French royalty with no sense of accountability or personal responsibility is NOT helping anyone's loyalty.
Seriously, this guy needs training in how to speak in front of people. The only thing I could hear after a minute was uhhh, and uhhh, sold uhhhh, he uhhh and lots of ahhhh. Great way if you want to bring the attention away from the lecture.

At 33:35 the audio becomes impossible to understand. Have followed this story and am disappointed I have missed what they experienced during that time.
39:15 At least the audio comes back, so it’s just 6 minutes or so
Glad you have followed this story. Hope it had some meaning for you.

That sounds like that there were more moles inside CIA and Ames knew them. Goodness knows they could be more numerous than we could guess.

Fascinating story! Pity how the sound when awry just before changing to Les
Informative
The FBI's Special Surveillance Group (SSG) or G's have some of the best surveillance teams in the world. They also cross-train with the CIA.
They are missing Dell Spry who was deeply involved in the Ames case and put the handcuffs on that traitor
Mics stopped working half way through sadly.
