Read article--The Crossroads of History: The Struggle against Jihad and Supremacist Ideologies

"....The true challenge of Islamic supremacism to America and the free world is not about Islam, Islamism, or terrorism, but about us.

It is a historic challenge to determine whether we truly have the courage of our convictions on equality and liberty and we are willing to fight for these ideals, or if we will instead accept the continuing growth of anti-freedom ideologies here and around the world...."

At all times material to this indictment:

 

1. The defendant ROBERT PHILIP HANSSEN was a Special Agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), who entered on duty with the FBI on January 12, 1976, and served continuously until February 18, 2001. For most of his FBI career, defendant HANSSEN worked in the FBI's Intelligence Division, renamed the National Security Division. In that capacity, defendant HANSSEN worked with, and had access to, classified information relating to the foreign intelligence and counterintelligence activities of the FBI and other United States Intelligence Community agencies, including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) , the National Security Agency (NSA) , and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) .

 

2. From in or about January 1981 to in or about September 1985, defendant HANSSEN was assigned to FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C. From in or about September 1985 to in or about August 1987, defendant HANSSEN was assigned to the FBI Field Office in New York, New York. In or about August 1987, he returned to Washington, D.C., where he served in a variety of FBI assignments until February 18, 2001.

 

3. Upon entering on duty with the FBI on January 12, 1976, defendant HANSSEN signed an Oath of Office in which he swore that: “I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God. “ That same day, he signed the FBI Pledge for Law Enforcement Officers, in which he pledged, in part: “I accept the obligation in connection with my assignments to . . . consider the information, coming into my knowledge by virtue of my position as a sacred trust, to be used solely for official purposes . . . In the performance of my duties and assignments, I shall not engage in unlawful and unethical practices.”

 

4. Executive Order 12958 and its predecessor orders establish that information in any form that (1) is owned by, produced by or for, or under the control of the United States Government, and (2) falls within any of the categories set forth in Section 1.5 of the Order (including: intelligence sources or methods; cryptology; military plans; and vulnerabilities or capabilities of systems, installations, projects or plans relating to the national security), may be classified by an original classification authority who determines that the unauthorized disclosure of such information reasonably could be expected to result in damage to the national security. Where such damage would be “serious”, the information may be classified as SECRET. Where such damage would be “exceptionally grave”, the information may be classified as TOP SECRET. Access to classified information at any level may be further restricted through compartmentation in SENSITIVE COMPARTMENTED INFORMATION (SCI) categories. Dissemination of classified information at any level may also be restricted through caveats such as NOFORN (Not Releasable” to Foreign Nationals) or ORCON (Dissemination and Extraction of Information Controlled by Originator) I and was formerly likewise restricted through the caveats NOCONTRACT (Not Releasable to Contractors or Contractor/Consultants) and WNINTEL (Warning Notice: Intelligence Sources and Methods Involved) 5. Defendant HANSSEN held TOP SECRET clearances continuously from the time he joined the FBI in 1976, and was indoctrinated for access to a variety of SCI programs. Specifically: 

a. Upon entering on duty with the FBI, on January 12, 1976, defendant HANSSEN signed an Employment Agreement in which he acknowledged that:

I understand that Federal Law such as Title 18, United States Code, Sections 793, 794, and 798; (Executive Order ~1652) ; and regulations issued by the Attorney General prohibit loss, misuse, or unauthorized disclosure or production of national security information, other classified information and other nonclassified information in the files of the FBI; ...I understand that unauthorized disclosure of information in the files of the FBI or information I may acquire as an employee of the FBI could result in impairment of national security, place human life in jeopardy, ...or prevent the FBI from effectively discharging its responsibilities. ...I agree that I will never divulge, publish, or reveal either by word or conduct, or by any other means disclose to any unauthorized recipient without official written authorization . . . any information from the investigatory files of the FBI or any information relating to material contained in the files, or disclose any information or produce any material acquired as part of the performance of my official duties or because of my official status  . . . 

b. On various occasions throughout his FBI employment, defendant HANSSEN signed various iterations of the Nondisclosure Agreement for Sensitive Compartmented Information, in which he acknowledged that he had received security indoctrinations and understood, among other things, that he had been advised that the direct or indirect unauthorized disclosure by him of SCI information “could cause irreparable injury to the United States, and be used to advantage by a foreign nation,” and pledged that “I will never divulge such information, in any form or any manner, to anyone who is not authorized to receive it, without prior written authorization from an appropriate official of the United States Government.” He also acknowledged that he had been advised that such unauthorized disclosure could constitute violations of criminal laws including Title 18, United States Code, Section 794. 

6. The Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosty, known as the KGB, was the intelligence service of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) .In or about December 1991, the Sluzhba Vneshney Razvedki Rossi, known as the SVR, assumed the foreign intelligence functions of the former KGB for the principal successor state of the USSR, the Russian Federation. In this indictment, term “KGB/SVRtt refers to activities of either the KGB or the SVR. 

 

7. As used by those who engage in espionage activities: 

 

a. The term “dead drop” site refers to a prearranged hidden location used for the clandestine exchange of packages, messages, and payments, which avoids the necessity of an intelligence officer and an agent being present at the same time. 

 

b. A “signal site” is a prearranged fixed location, usually in a public place, on which an agent or an intelligence officer can place a predetermined mark in order to alert the other to operational activity.

 

c. An “accommodation address” is a “safe” address, not overtly associated with intelligence activity, used by an agent to communicate with the intelligence service for which he is working.
