What normally happens when a foreign agent pays an American to act against the best interest of their country? Genuine question, I'm not being sarcastic I promise.
If a foreign spy convinces a US citizen to give them information that strengthens the foreign power, even if done unwittingly, are they held responsible?
This is a slightly different situation, but at its core it's Russian spies paying off Americans to weaken their own country.
Fuck Ron Howard for making a movie about this guy to begin with
