Linke "had been promoted to head of the department tasked with vetting candidates to join the agency and making sure that no foreign country had managed to compromise spies already inside", meaning he was in position to compromise all new recruits.https://t.co/UxrdJDG80p

The two big questions are: (1) Did he act alone or was he part of a Russian spy network within German intelligence?; and (2) How much damage has he done to the Five Eyes system, which has all kinds of links with German SIGINT, especially over Ukraine? https://t.co/EZGlNv5SSR
